I have better things to do then sit outside of a store waiting for it to open. I also can not be part of a problem when there is not a problem. Back when Stalin ran the Soviet Union he frequently blamed his failures on hoarders, profiteers (gougers), and speculators. Modern Democrats also attack people for having a profit motive.

The stock market is speculation and so is buying ammo in hope of flipping it for a profit. The gougers are only one half of the so called problem; the other half are the people willing to buy products from them. You can not have one without the other.

It is kind of funny that when people speculate on houses in the hope of making a profit when the sell them a short time after buying them they make TV shows about them and lots of people think that it is a grand idea and many try their hand at the same thing.

If you think profit is bad you should see what the world looks like with out it.

So what about that Vaccine?

Is it price gouging? Is it not price gouging? I don't know and I don't care, I'm sick of it. It is artificially created BS and I'm ready for it to go back to normal. I have the ammo and components I need, I'm just sick of nothing being available to try a new bullet/powder combo with etc.

There isn't a problem other than idiots running and buying more than they would out of fear or whatever. All the ammo getting bought is definitely not being shot. If people would just calm down take a dump and think with their heads and not their rear ends we would be "normal" again in a week.

I don't think ammo and guns fits into the essential items category.

I don’t mind paying “new normal” prices but “new normal” prices isn’t buying from the guy that hits academy at dawn 3x a week buying ammo for $XX and turning around and selling it for $XXX.

I wonder if any of the people complaining about price gouging would sell me their house for what they paid for it.

That's the real issue here. People know the gougers are asking several times what they paid at the store.

And people are paying the asking price. If they don't then the next guy will.

I remember right after Sandy Hook I put P-Mags on Gunbroker starting at $.01. Some sold as high as $75 each. The demand drove the price up. No different now with ammo.

Let's not overlook there are still many folks out there who enjoy helping those within their hunting circle by selling them a box or two for nothing more than what they paid for it at the store.

Their paying it because they don’t have a choice right now, most people don’t have hours and hours of free time to search for normally priced ammo giving the resellers free reign to do as they please on the pricing. I just hope when things get back to whatever normals going to be that all the guys reselling ammo for stupid prices are all remembered. Mostly talking about companies doing it but some of the individuals as well. I know I’m taking mental notes and Ive refused to sell ammo and a gun in the last week to a couple guys that I knew were simply going to flip them for a quick profit. The only recourse we as consumers have is to speak with our wallets, what goes around comes around and I’m a firm believer in Karma for the guys doing it just because they can.
In the end is it wrong, realistically no but it smells of turd soup. Having said all of that some of the individuals may be out of work and trying to make a dollar for their families any way they can so I can’t judge anyone for it. I’m just not going to participate in it by purchasing anything from them if I can keep from it or selling anything to them.

LOL...The both of you can pound sand.

Sucks to be stocking up now huh?

Whiners...

I have more than enough. Believe me. Happy gouging [censored]

Not sure when this crap will end, but I'm am tired of the price gouging on everything. You know it's bad when someone is selling a Radical Firearms AR15 for $1000. Pssst!

For a bunch of supposed red blooded Americans; some of y'all sure seam to hate capitalism.

Right!

Hey devil dog....sell me your house what you paid for it 15 years ago?
