Not gouging, just the new going rate.

The ad clearly states "High quality".

I'm not sure if its gouging or that they had to pay a crazy price to have something on the shelves.

 

[Blimey]

That's brutal it costs that much. It's not an essential item like food, though, so if somebody is willing to pay 40 a round I'd let them have at it.

That is why we reload.

 

[Phauxtoe]

When i am not reloading the places i buy ammo from still have normal prices, with less selection and longer ship times.
Cheaper than dirt will never see my money, and now Buds is on my shit list.

This. As demand dries up the price rises and the panic element drives the process to extreme.

I learned during the last scare that panic buying is way too expensive. In December I picked up Federal 9mm for 12.5 cents after rebate. Buy it cheap and stack it deep.

Glad I didn't listen to people who said reloading 9mm is a waist of time.

 

[Bananabandit]

Buds would never do such a thing...

Normally I don't bother reloading 9mm because I can get it so cheap in bulk, but that doesn't mean I don't have all the components!

 

[Darth]

I swear way too many people on here never either took or paid attention to high school or college economics basics.

This AGAIN!?

Plenty of reasons to hate Buds. This isn't one.

As far as I noticed, TSUSA prices are pretty steady.
Just placed an order, the price was within what I usually pay.
However, their selection is pretty low.

Link shows gold dot got .80 a round. Seems pretty much the same price it’s always been.

I use them. Bought a bunch when the Chinese flu started. Took forever to ship but it got here and at a good price. I wish I bought more.

I picked up some 115 gr Gold Dot for $.45/per not long ago from a WTS ad. Guess I did ok.

I get what you're saying just not following how you got there lol...

 

[Modean]

If you were not buying when everything was cheap (and it was), you really have no one to blame but yourself. It's not like we have not seen the cycle before.

Yep up until lately it has not been economical to reload 9mm but, things change In an instant.

I guess you’re right.
Don’t tell anyone I said that.

I don't reload 9mm. But I save my brass, because some day I might.

 

[GOPerfect]

This is the exact reason to buy when life is grand. Prices are low and you can buy a lot of ammo at great prices.

Years ago, I began my ammo thing, so happy that I did.

 

[GOPerfect]

I will also add, I do think this is a bit of gouging and I hope all of their customers remember this when the current situation ends.

Hey C. I guess I’m trying to say that I learned my lesson (mostly) years ago when finding 22lr or 9mm was like finding TP or hand sanitizer now. I try to buy regularly to dollar cost average. I got lucky in December before any of the current madness - Federal was having a great sale and rebate so my net cost was really good per round.

so now I can sit back and avoid the madness.

Yeah I get what you're saying... just that I would have expected you to say when SUPPLY dries up prices go extreme not DEMAND. Then when DEMAND dries up and presumably vendors are left with excess SUPPLY prices drop and deals are to be had... no worries bro just was confused how you put it.

 

[Calculon]

Got ya. I may have been unclear.
