I walked in the other day killing some time. Prices were through the roof not sure how they sleep at night charging what they do for ammo. If you need it they got it but you better be ready to sell your first born for a box of ammo.
Gunworld prices with no pandemic and ample supply is typically double what sgammo is. After Sandy Hook I went in to kill some time and bricks of 22 were $90. Their were literally a half dozen price stickers. I'm guessing everytime they sold one they raised the price to see what the ceiling was.I would guess they're having to pay significantly increased prices to get it, not to mention lower stock PLUS higher price means lower movements of stock. In order to maintain the storefront, rent, insurance and utilities, pay previous obligations and keep the same or similar staff, they need to make more per unit than before, since less units are moving.
I'm not saying they're NOT gouging, but it's very possible they're not gouging as much as people think - not like Dong's does 24/7/365, for instance.
<edit> For instance, I just checked and sgammo.com is selling 9mm Winchester FMJ "Active Duty" at $0.80/round and LE JHP 9mm at $1.24/round. And no one's ever accused them of being gougers. They're no CTD, for sure.
Similarly, their .40 S&W JHP is $2/round and there is NO .45ACP. Armscor .22 JHP is $0.60/round and .44 Magnum is $2-2.30/round.
Same here. I went twice, years and years ago. Hell, back then they were 40% higher on guns and ammo.Gun world was very proud of their inventory the last time I went in there, and if questioned about how they came to that price you needed to be prepared to not come back, lol. That was almost 13 years ago and I haven’t been back since. Hopefully they got their ventilation system updated, I always liked the gun range there.
We made more money selling 9mm at $8-10 per box than we do now at $45. Not even percentage, actual dollars. And we sell extraordinarily more now. Nobody wanted it until they couldn't buy it lolI would guess they're having to pay significantly increased prices to get it, not to mention lower stock PLUS higher price means lower movements of stock.
