I don’t have a problem with anyone’s selling price. What irks me is people that dedicate themselves to artificially inflating the crisis by stalking ammo for the explicit purpose of reselling. During the .22 crisis, Walmart guys used to tell me that the same people came in every morning and bought up all the ammo. Last night I walked into Bass Pro and chatted with the mgr and he told me the same thing. They’re getting ammo, but it’s the same guys every morning buying it up despite a 5 box limit. Then we see it on here for even more ridiculous prices. If you do that, that’s your business but still ****YOU!

I just remember $600 ARs increasing in price to $1500 in one day then eventually being overstocked and selling for $450. Product cost didn't increase just demand. So milking it as hard as possible when the getting is good seem to be the pattern. Not that I blame them. I've gotta decent ammo stash but if I decide to practice twice a month it will drain out eventually.

Which followed the pattern I described. Demand increased on a product that could not be produced in higher numbers, price increased. Once demand fell, prices fell to the breakeven point.
No new machinery was bought on a large scale. Some companies invested in higher capacity and they went under, when lower prices could not support loan payments on the new equipment.

I disagree. We saw the same thing after Sandy Hook, .223 was a buck a round and people were snatching it up, simply because it was available. Manufacturers were running round the clock shifts. Everyone said prices would never come down, everyone is going to be accustom to paying it blah blah blah. What happened? Prices went down and stayed down until the next crisis. We'll get through this eventually, but I've said this years ago and will say it again. We are our own worst enemy doing these times. People with no intention to run out and shoot today or tomorrow is paying $.60 - $1.00 per round for 9mm because they see it. So yeah who isnt going to try to flip. Dont feed the dolphins and we wouldnt have nearly as bad of a problem.

Fear of not knowing is driving the prices "mostly".
When 10 boxes of 500 rounds of 9mm sells out at Academy in 10 minutes its not because of a shortage of materials. A shortage of materials means 5 boxes of 50 might come in and you're lucky to see that.

So production on existing machines was increased to meet the demand. Demand still outstripped the supply. Instead of buying more machines, producers raised prices. It priced some of the buyers for whom ammo was less important than other needs.
Demand fell, so did the prices and production on existing machines.
What point are disagreeing with? I never said prices will not come down. Show me where I did.

While its true some companies are hesitate to invest in thing like buildings and machines because the demand for ammo has serious highs and lows, some actually did get new factories and machines. Remington invested $32 million in a new facility in Arkansas and I want to say another larger manufacture did as well. I guess my other point was that prices fell to a breakeven point. I think prices fell lower than what I had seen since Obama was in office so pre-2008.

Remington filed for bankruptcy, btw.

Prices will fall, eventually, unless we have new variables, such as banning ammo imports, restricting import of components (lead, we no longer smelt lead in US, primers, etc)
We are on the same page, mostly.
No one knows what will happen, or the timeframe.

Yeah I agree. I was moreso just trying to have a discussion.

We all know Remington's bankruptcy and financial issues go beyond opening a new facility.
