Ammo help

What a bunch of whiners here. Glenn buys ammo, so what? His business. He wants to sell it, his business. I buy stock low and sell high, my business. Stop with all the BS about this. Everyone on this forum can do exactly what he is doing if they want to. The gougers are like CTD, they offer at an elevated price, then don't ship, offer same stuff at an even higher price. They gouge. Glenn buys low (with considerable legwork) and sells higher. You don't want to buy from him, go to gunbroker and buy from someone doing the same thing. Whiners.

Much ado about nothing IMO. Don't like how much someone is charging, don't buy it from them.

Something is only worth what another person is willing to pay for it.

The butthurt is strong in this thread, and it reminds me of what my old man used to say...piss poor planning leads to piss poor performance. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Anyone worth their salt has been through this cycle several times, if past experience didn't teach them, being out of ammo or paying the current fair market value for it likely won't either. Always. Be. Prepared.

I believe you mean the 7 P's.

Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance.

Learned that early on, I just wish I could remember it more often when needed.

I never paid much attention to what he told me...until I had to learn things the hard way and then his words made more sense. The best lessons are the hardest learned, but they often require self reflection that few modern men are willing to get humble enough with themselves in order to do.

Or as my grandfather use to "there are 2 ways to learn thing the easy way & the hard way. And we tend to learn more things the hard way!"

I am admittedly agnostic. I am also admittedly humble enough to say based on my choices/experiences in the 40 years I've been on this planet...God knows thats the truth!

Thats a little too much alliteration for me...

But it is true

I don’t need any ammo either. I don’t have an axe to grind on this issue. I just don’t think it’s cool to neckbeard ammo.

 

[Fishkiller]

Ok time for yall to take a break.

 

[Dougw1515]

You saved me a long type.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
I could show up on range day in a Speedo but I will not. For many reasons.
Neckbeard azzholes are a detriment to the overall shooting community.
Their short sighted greed will hurt all shooters in the end.

Thank you Jesus!!!

I have 5 figures in rounds. I'm not hurting for ammunition. I'm not shooting anymore for fear something serious is coming up, but I am not close to being out.


ITS OK TO POINT OUT SOMEONE IS AN ASSHOLE AND A PIECE OF SHIT. PEOPLE DEFENDING THAT BEHAVIOR ARE AS BAD AS THE PERPETRATOR. ITS KIND OF LIKE PEDOPHELIA. IF YOU ARENT AGAINST IT YOU'RE JUST AS BAD AS THOSE DOING IT.

I take exception with that. Ammo "scalping" may not be the best practice of capitalism, but it sure doesn't in any way compare to pedophelia , or a pedophile in any way. And saying other that defend or condone scalpers are just as bad, is not appropriate either.

Y'all know there's no winning in these threads. I was one of the first here to liquidate some surplus when the panic began. Like people say, buy low sell high. It doesn't need to be about anymore than that. I won't condone or condemn it but we've all been to this shit show before.

If I was layed off or desperate, I'd probably get in line every morning too. Although I wouldn't be hammering my fellow tgt peeps with high prices, I'd just get on GunBroker and cash in.

If one guy wants to stand in line for a few hours and buy a couple of boxes of ammo, then list it online or set up a table at the gun show and sell it for twice, or thrice what he paid for it. None of my business. If another guy is willing to pay that inflated price for the ammo because he is low and needs it. Still, none of my business.

What if I haul out some ammo that I bought years ago rather cheaply in bulk, for which I have no use for because I don't own a gun that uses it, and decide to sell it at today's current prices? I guess I'd be a scalper!

I'm sorry, but what a person does with their time, or their money, and how they choose to sell what they own, is their own private business. Many of us knew this day would come again. Many of us took steps to prepare for it. If you got caught low on ammo, tough cookies! It was way more predictable than the stock market!

And seriously? What are we really whining and moaning about? Does anyone think something magic is going to happen, and all of sudden people are going to stop buying up ammo in the stores and selling it at inflated prices?

Extra ammo is like spare change

WTF is that?

Depends on your perspective, and circumstances, and what you consider spare.
