This is too much!!! I'll drive to Plano just to laugh about it some more. And, have a what-a-burger but someone will have to buy for me. I've been paying too much for ammo recently.

Thanks. yes I did when I was heading to work. It's really the best time to shop there. That's when all the soccer moms drop the kids off at school and head there to pick up stuff before workout time at teh gym. Just don't tell the_busy_mom that's the reason I go. I tell her it's because by 8:45, they are plum out of ammo.

But why only 1 box per arm ?

Because I would buy 100 boxes if they'd let me because otherwise it would cost me $18.99 a box. there are places out there price gouging don't you know.

Could I then say "Artifical Scarcity" ?

No, you cannot.

You speak yourself of 2nd hand knowledge so yes that is hearsay.

It's still 100% more than you have given us.

Its getting late and I want to catch the last James Bond movie on tonight.

I bet he's got lots of ammo.

We need more government control... YEAH.... That's the ticket. The government should regulate all prices and determine all pay scales. That would surely make life "fair".

Where do I sign up and vote for this? I'll bring my aunt, Melowese Richardson with me. http://www.examiner.com/article/ohio-po ... -for-obama" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Let's not forget about the cost of a gallon of milk too. OMG!!!

Oh, and that would make my 9mm lawman only $3.99 a box. Why would I ever reload at prices like that.

My Facts are based on what I see at the stores and online. I also hear only hearsay statements with out proof. I have attached a model of marketing and accept more "critical thinking" on everyone's part.

When Adam Smith (1776) observed the English market place he formulated his famous "Invisible Hand" theory.

Let us not rush to arms nor draw swords as it will do nothing but divide us.

Let me site your source of the image for you so we don't break any laws: http://socialcommercetoday.com/how-soci ... -shopping/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Wait, it was my "critical thinking" when I asked you to provide me your facts for your claims you have made. You started this out with stating it was like fact but yet have provided anything. I would like to see:

I want to know when I have been "terms it would be the Overcharging, Psychological Manipulation, by the use of a current situation"

How you know that "The Ammunition Manufactures are withholding, delaying shipments" I have given you second had facts by knowing and speaking with an employee of a respected OEM.

I still don't know this and want to know where you shop so I can stay away. "We all know the Current Ammunition Retail Consumer Cost have been raised by at least a Minimum of $10 per box of 50 to upwards of $15 per box." I've had great luck buying ammo at Cabela's and Academy and prices have stayed the same. If what you are saying is true, then that would mean that my 223 ammo would have been only $4.15 a box. Here's my math: 1 box = 8.99 at 20 rounds and 2.5 boxes is 50 rounds. At last weeks price they would be $22.47 a box of 50. Subtract your $10 per box increase and that would make the ammo, a couple months ago, $12.47 per 50 or $4.16 per box of 20. Ya right!!!! Never gonna happen.

Here's my proof that ammo is not going up at the major brick and motor places, or at least to the price gouging levels you are talking about. All these prices are in line with what it would have cost 3 months ago.



What Psychological terms are you talking about? The Psychological terms used by the manufactures is a monetary driving motive and nothing else.

What is your definition of "constant" price gouging? In past national tragedies such as Hurricanes, Tornado's , Flooding, Droughts, and Wildfires in all cases there has been constant Price Gouging.

Seeing as how we are not in a civil emergency, it's not price gouging by the true meaning of the term but I'll give you this one.


I don't understand why I am spending so much time on this!
