What about the folks who paid 2K for a 500 buck rack AR, after sandyhook? Or the guys who paid 900 for a G-19 at the same time?
Stupid is, as stupid does, if you have to buy during a panic and get screwed that is a PERSONAL Problem
Look, did this two minutes ago, and THE POINT EVERYONE IS TRYING TO MAKE
There is still a bunch in stock and most are 1/2 the cost of what is being advertised here and now

Seriously....you really can't read? You can't figure what this thread is about? You can't read what Frank has said about price gouging on HIS forum in HIS PX section?
Careful Centurdiator if Frank turns a corner fast its likely to snap your nose clean off you face.
Go play with your legos. You have more than demonstrated your utter inability to engage in grow-up conversations, let alone even keep up and read a thread intelligently.
Laughing, I know full well what this thread is about, as do most. It's about being told you can't price your stuff at whatever price you want. Simple as that. Interesting how one feels depending on which side of the coin your on at the time it happens,..
Apparently you can start at $100 a box and just adjust from there based on the amount of time it doesn't sell
In your ad, I would state,
Bought this during the last crisis /run on ammo at $120 per box, willing to let it go for $100 each at my loss. The buyer pays shipping at current rates too. Not gouging, just taking advantage of current market conditions. Stores are closed, but I am open.
Then you are safe, capitalism at work

Stupid ass memes all you got? That seems to be the norm here when the truth hurts.
Seems like this thread has run its course and the boss is ready to unleash the bancat. As the late Kenny Rogers said:
Youve got to know when to hold'em;
Know when to fold'em.
Know when to walk away,
Andk now when to run.
Its nice outside, think Ill go for a walk.

Hi,
Some of you are DENSE, lolol!!
The irony of a community forum jumping on the boycott bandwagon when a COMPANY jacks the price of something up (Such as magazine bans, etc etc) but yet when an individual does the same thing....Capitalism prevails, lolol.
Some of you have no clue what this thread is about because you see it from only your side....
This thread is about that I directly have a vested interest in SH not lowering itself to such standards as to where its' community members fall to such levels as armslist, gunbroker, etc etc.
This thread is about not disrespecting the numerous members that join together to provide to other members in need....we have seen that from funds for divorce attorneys all the way to funds for knife to support a member that just had a brain tumor removed to donations to teachers in the name of gun owners.
IMO if you are for SH to lower its' reputation in the industry then...you probably belong somewhere else.
Sincerely,
Theis

I haven't banned him yet,
I was waiting on a reply, he came into PM me saying this is what he paid for the ammo and just getting his money back.
I said okay, post that explanation here, he went dark when showed him the Ammo Grab screenshot
He hasn't been banned yet, but his answer to me was incomplete and he has yet to make an appearance here
Probably trying to figure out how to spin it on social media somewhere else after being banned,
It's usually the banned camp guys who go on the anti-Frank, Sniper's Hide sucks rants, so he is probably crafting one of those posts.

I have some, $2.50 a roll, $70 shipping.

Dude...I'll send you a packet.
Better yet....I'll send you some ammo, I got so much of that stuff, I'm wiping my ass with it ??
Assuming it's on another site, we would be happy to go on a road trip, find his post and shit all over it. We've been cooped up, just looking for some giggles..........
Didn’t you just tell him to get off his soapbox or similar and why the change?

Cooped up hell, I had to go to work last night. Minions called scarred shitless.
WTT 2 rolls of toilet paper for 2 boxes of 300BLK ammo.
Sorry, but you're gonna have to ask elsewhere. He ain't gotta clue. I honestly believe he's Joe Biden.
Here, let me help you with English: "Sorry, but you are going to to have to ask elsewhere. He does not have a clue." I think they have online classes that cover sixth grade English, which you evidently missed out on.
Shut up Joe. Hey, there's a new thread you haven't destroyed yet......
That'll keep'm busy for a bit.
Thank you, but it's a shooting forum. Can we just stick to the accuracy? ?
Scared of high flows and failing pumps....and...
"Joe....you got any 22 ammo I can buy?"
Now I know it's Joe Biden. Look Joey, if you're gonna be cute and take the high road and try to shame me, at least don't fuck it up.
Now go edit some of your other grovel elsewhere.
I left you something to notice....I didn't want to crush your self-esteem entirely. Because I care.

Whats the term for this type of behavior? It's right there, but I can't remember it.
I have never been to Midland TX, why would anything cost more there?

I once lived just outside of Washington DC, now shit there costs a ton

Wouldn't it make more sense to just say, I got ripped off on this ammo and I would like to unload the ass raping to someone else because I am a poor
This is why it is difficult to regulate pricing in the PX, some dumb shit somewhere is going to over pay for something and then pass those savings on to the next fool
Can the forum automatically inject a link to ammoseek or ammo grab when it sees someone post ammo for sale?
Just saying, a link out to one of those sites inside every ammo post would be a forum benefit to forum members
The problem might just disappear at that point

Are we going to complain when someone sets a price on something much lower than what we “feel” is “normal” ? If not, why ?
It hasn’t ever crossed my mind that I should have any say in what any private individual does with their own property. If they try to sell something for $5 or $5000.00 why should I get any say in that ?
i have been buying dirt
cheap stocks due to the economy crash, maybe some here feel like the right thing to do would be to pay an extra 50-100% because that was their market price a few weeks ago...
Of course in this or any privately owned site, the owner can make any rules they see fit.
Not questioning HMFICs rules for his playground, just the seeming double standards by members.

I can see both sides...
But also I believe one point is being missed in this "free market" discussion.
The owner is empowered via free market principles to allow or not allow a seller to position product to be sold (at whatever price) at the discretion of the owner.
If not satisfied, then the seller can take and sell their product somewhere else. And I am sure there are other sites one can turn to for such an occasion.
IMO, this still squarely falls within the spirit of free market.

I seem to remember a thread in the scope forum about a shitload of people with 50 lbs of sand in their pussies because some high dollar scope brand (can't remember who) dropped their prices and they all "lost resale value" or had their "investments" devalued. Come on.......GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE with that socialist shit.
You're right. Nobody has a say in what someone should or can charge for selling their fucking property. Anyone who thinks they do is a shitbag fucking communist.
You know who's a fair weather free market advocate when shit like this happens. They're the first ones to cry "gouging" like a bitch.
Yea, you. Bitch.
