[QUOTE="zghorner, post: 3637125, member: 35089"] here is my take...If you are waiting in line at academy each day then going and listing for a profit...you're in the wrong. Essentially what you have done is created an unnecessary middle man...providing no good or service, likely making it less convenient for the consumer to acquire the ammo in the process. The real kicker that makes it feel dirty is this -> [B]Neckbeards are Essentially driving the very ammo shortage they profit from...adding to the pain of the supply shortage without providing any benefit to the consumer...this seems unethical to me.[/B] However, if you have a ton of ammo...that you purchased at a prior time. And are taking advantage of the high prices...you are a good investor and not at all a POS neckbeard. If you bought a house in 2009 for $80k...would you sell right now for $80k when housing is comanting ATHs??? No, you'd list for current value, make a fat profit, and would not be criticized. The market sets the price via supply and demand...you sell ammo right now you have been sitting on then you are adding supply to the market. there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I recently sold some 22lr ammo for 10cpr...i have been sitting on it for years. The last time we had a bad shortage (2016) I bought a ton of it so as to never be caught with my pants down again. I am wanting some extra cash lately and listed it on AL...it sold in a day. KMA if you think i am a bad person for not listing it for 5cpr...If you don't like current market prices then do not participate in the marketplace and do not cry about it. [B]"Buy it cheap, Stack it deep"[/B] is one of the most true sayings from the gun community. Live by it. [/QUOTE]
