Default This Company is a Joke

I found this ad on Texas Gun Trader,and clicked the link. It is a joke, price gouging at its finest. What pisses me off is this crap.


"Ammunition Price Increases: The Bad is Getting Worse!!

From 2007 until now there has been over a 70% price increase in Ammunition. The prices increases continue at a staggering rate each month. Think about this: Prices are driven by mainly three factors scarcity and demand and gun-law changes.
We hope you already have the ammunition you need. If not keep an eye out for deals as they are few and far between. At Alamo Ammo we deal with buying and selling ammunition at the best prices available.
At this time most ammunition manufacturing companies are increasing production to attempt to keep up with the customer demand. At Alamo Ammo we can help in finding the best deals and passing the saving on to you "our customers". We believe the personal and home protection is very important and the best weapon is useless without the ammunition to use it."


Then you go and look at the mark up and it is crazy. 100 WWB .380 for $85. What a joke, they won't be around long.

That's how the market system is supposed to work. They think they can wring some extra money out of you 'cause they have what you want. You say "stuff it" and take your wallet somewhere else.

They'll need that lock on their front door when they close up for the last time. Problem solved.

I hope this sucker quit his job because he was making such good money and the prices even back out. It is people like this that make it tough on good people to enjoy things.
