Price gouging.
 
There are business entities that are gouging their customers, especially when it comes to ammunition. The prices have more than doubled in a period of six weeks.
This is a sensitive subject, but please be civil with the comments, if any.

Just the start. They have an agenda.

Why is this sensitive?

People panic buying last 5 months. Fear driving prices

supply and demand ...Unfortunately demand is continuing to soar
One ammunition manufacture stated over 5 million in new gun sales
equates to about 2 boxes ammo per firearm ...do the math

Creating a shortage of anything is always good for higher prices.
Look at toilet rolls, nearly a dollar a sheet in Pubics!:icon_wink:

22 ammo has had wild swings in availability it pays to stock up when available. I have a bunch at 3 cents per round but have seen it as high as 12 cents. If you use their range the owner has some reserved for customers. And it helps to get on mailing lists from dealers.

Not me. And I voted for whatchamacallit that didn't win. I don't need any. The Villages is safe. Folks in Ohio went shootin' for rabbits sometimes. I don't care for any. Y'all go on, it's fine if you want one. I still have my Dale Evans Holsters though.

This is just the start of high prices. Try to find a 2021 full size GM, Ford, or Chevy passenger van for sale. There are none and when they finally become available the backlog of buyers will be willing to pay sticker price or more.

Not to mention GAS prices. Whoooeeeee. Need someone to take a course in economics. But "they" are young, most of them....just charge it. Not the same as cash.
