[2WheelGnnr]

[dsdmmat]

I have plenty of 35 Remington I have not shot it in a while I think I will take it out and shoot it this weekend.

 

[cgrutt]

Guy just paid $40 buy it now price plus $10 shipping for a box of 7mm x 55 Swiss that I had lying in safe actually felt bad lol...

 

[dsdmmat]

Wondering if I should sell my stash of 22LR for about 3 ounces of gold.

 

[kev74]

If you list more, don't put a "buy it now".

You'll be amazed what stupid prices people will pay!

No buy it now on the two I just listed!...

 

[togmaster]

You want me to bid it up for you?

 

[cgrutt]

LOL nope.

 

[kev74]

I think I have a new gun worth of cci standard velocity .22s in the basement.

 

[holdover]

8 million new gun owners, and no ammo. They are going to buy what they need.

I was running low myself, and bought four boxes of primers@ 100 each. Now at 250 each. But I now dont have to worry about ammo for a while.

Sucks but I didn't want to get caught with my pants down. With Jo Xi-den in office it might be the new normal.

I am quite confident you will get at least twice what you paid originally. It will be interesting to see how you make out, I am curious in general to see to what extent the ammo desperation frenzy applies to hunting ammo.

Posted recently closed auctions. Already got a $0.01 penny bid on one of my listings but no way to be sure if it was from one of you jokers or not lol...

 

[fnfalguy]

Hmm, I may take your lead on this Chris

I just checked out some listings, HOLY SHIT! Fuckin' morons are getting stupid with this shit! I'd sooner learn how to use a bow or throw a spear than pay nearly GD $500 on 120 rounds!
I feel a little better about paying $600 for 500 rounds of IMI 77gr OTMs now.

See I told you it would be entertaining lol...

That's crazy.
I have a couple "cases" of .35 Rem.
and 2 cases of swiss ammo still in the black seal box.
Over the years, I've stock up on ammo. enough to last a WHILE. (now, I'm just going to hold on to it.)

This past rifle season I sold a couple boxes of .35Rem at $28ea just to help out a fellow hunter that I didn't know.

 

[Podmonkey]

No offense to @cgrutt or any of you other guys what run .35 Rem but we all know damn well that the guy that paid $455 for that 120 rounds is the kind of guy that will make a 20 round box last 2 years. 3 shots for preseason zero + whatever deer shots he takes and that's all he shoots. I'd bet $5 on it!
Actually I bet he is tge kind of guy that puts a plywood sheet on the 25 yard line takes 1 shot and calls it good.

No offense taken my FIL gave me his Marlin many years ago (pre-unSAFE) and I haven't shot it yet!

A couple months ago I sold a fellow I work with a lone 50 round box of Agulia 55gr .223 I had kicking around for $10. To him that's a lot of ammo, to me thar is such a small amount I won't even bother with. I can't do anything with a measly 50 rounds, it takes me that many just to warm up!

I'm more cracking on the Fudds that think shooting 10 rounds a year equals having a shooting hobby.

 

[Bustedknees]

maybe I can trade my lever evolution ammo for a new truck

Fuckin' A man, do it.

At $4/rd it better!!!

 

[Podmonkey]

At $4/rd it better!!!

That's .50 BMG money! Can you imagine what those Hornady .50 A-MAXs are going for these days?! It's about to get to the point where it'd be cheaper to genetically modify yourself into a werewolf for hunting season.

Free market at work.

 

[gun_slinger_boy]

This is like watching the stock market. If primers gets to $400 a box I may sell.
