Ammo price gouging

[esh21167]

I'm especially enjoying the privilege of seeing new members whose first posts are to sell ammo at so called 'gouging prices.' At least this guy is honest. Basically saying, 'You suck. I have ammo. Yeah, it's expensive, but if you want it, I have it.'

I'm okay and will reload if I need anything. Where there are wolves there are sheep to be eaten.

Some gun forums do not allow you to use the sell-it page unless you have a certain number of posts or time as a registered member. It weeds out the riff-raff.

Seriously starting to see a buck a round for 9mm target ammo and defensive ammo at $ 60 plus .Strangley 40 S&W was still local at some shops for $ 30 a box of 50 target !

Anyone else notice that very desirable firearms and ammo are being posted for sale by some with zero rep or posts ? I just dont respond to those and agree that a minimum 200 posts should be required that gives you some sort of idea the person you are working with . JMO

It could very well be me or you. Seems people do that here from what I can guess. It's certainly not me. Can someone have two profiles here?

I thought that was the case here , most forums as stated want you to be a contributing member, with x number of posts .

I have purchased a number of firearms & ammo this past year using the classifieds. In my limited experience, it seems that the lower the post count, the higher the price....

200 seems excessive. I have dealt successfully with members with less than 20 posts already, just applied common sense and good judgement. I have memberships on numerous boards and do not try to sell on them, for the exact reason they require an excessive number of posts, and to be honest, it is just too much effort to put up posts unless I have something useful (or witty?) to say and in some of these, it could take a year or more to get to 50, much less 200. Of course YMMV, so this may not apply to you.

Jesus, not another bitch-fest about those horrible people posting stuff that someone may want to buy.

I've done very well buying from "low post count" people "taking advantage" of the forum.
Don't like it, don't click on it. Sheesh.
