No crying GF
I got ammo and primers. I don’t need it. I’m finding it. I’m trying to have people the price gouging that’s against the law in Maryland

Lol, sure I can buy a lot of ammo with a time machine. But I would not go back to July 2020, I'd go back to January.
This is not price gouging you are simply living under rock.
Don’t worry I don’t :
Even the manufacturers don’t price gouge like that.
Ordered 8/10 2020. Delivered 9/11/2020
Straight from federal.
Again no problem here. And i am right here in the DMV like the rest of you.

Sometimes few hours. Sometimes few minutes.
I’ve gotten around 2000 so far in the last week at this price. Not impossible. I’m done buying mostly. Just trying to help people here get more.

If it's only in stock a few hours at that price, prices are going up even more.
How is shipping? 3 weeks like Federal?

Prices for ammo are vastly different Oct vs July. Prices/demand went up even more after RBG died.
People are anticipating a lot of nasty protests, a Biden victory, court packing, and lots of gun control after the election.
If you find ammo, buy it.

They are in business to make a profit. Ammunition manufacturers have increased their cost and distributors have increased their cost so it only makes sense that the retailer is also going to increase the cost. Yes right now ammunition prices are ridiculously high. Two to three times the normal price but if you want it that's what you're going to pay for it. There's no way around it. Even people like myself who reload are finding the cost of components through the roof if you can find them at all better that they charge two to three times what it used to cost than not sell it at all
Or get it for free. I am not hurting for ammo: I am actually giving some away in the Karma section. It’s not 9mm but I am sure some one can use the caliber and they don’t even have to do anything that cost $$ to get it.

Hate to brake the news to you (if you have not been out since July).
July is a lifetime ago in this year.
I picked up ammo in mid Sept,, had I know what mid Oct would look like, I would have bought 10 times.

Things have gotten exponentially worse in the last 2-3 weeks.
What was available 3 weeks ago .22, now is not.
From May - August there was a slow steady tightening of supply, then the last 3 weeks - "Poof" it is gone.
J2 is a business, it actually COST money to have an employee comb the net all day looking for ammo, it cost money to send an employee to another state to try and score some ammo.
I am glad they have some close buy if I need it. When I was in the other week, they had 1 box limit. The ammo they have is to make sure THEIR customers at least can get a box of ammo when they purchase a gun.
They are not there to sell ammo at 2019 bulk prices, so you can buy it up and re-list it for todays, current price.

When 22lr pops up on ammoseek, it's typically some real sketchy stuff.
I did see one place with CCI minimag , limit 2 boxes $25 a box PLUS shipping

If you're not hurting for ammo why are you bitching about it? Weren't you just on their book of faces page telling them you NEED 1000 rounds? I know what J2 is doing to try to keep ammo in stock. They're literally driving state to state to get ammo. They're not a bulk ammo distributor they are a local gun shop doing everything they can to keep ammo in stock for people that actually need it.
No as I also stated I was at Cabela’s in VA and I got 2 500 box’s at 89$ as well and that was just 2 weeks ago. A sucker is born every day. If you or they or whoever keep buying it at astronomical prices they are gonna continue to sell it at that price. I don’t resell any of my ammo or primers. I shoot 1500-2k rounds a month to even fathom doing that. I basically buy now to replace what I am shooting per month.
But when you get a Bass Pro “white shirt” finding you on the net from some other social media platform and says hey can you tell me more about the picture and prices you posted about you know there is a problem. Bass Pro owns the name Herters and they have skin in the game. I do not. I am tired of seeing people being taking advantage of during this cluster F**k of a time we are in.
Definitely not bitching about it. Trying educate shooters that what they are doing is shady a$$ business practice.
And I assure you, you didn’t have me of FB asking for 1k of ammo. Come correct or be corrected.

The best current price for 9mm is 50 cents per round, plus shipping. Bass Pro might have ammo in a warehouse they can sell for the old price, but nobody else does. J2 has to make a profit, and it looks like they're doing extra work to get ammo. That's not gouging, that's business. At least they've got ammo. Lots of shops have bare shelves.
