Currently out of town and figured I'd pop in to a LGS up here and replenish my ammo stack I'm lacking in. It's been a very long time since I've been able to buy brass cased 9mm for under .30/cpr and CCI stingers for $5.99/per 100.

Just as I walk through the door and pick up what I needed to refill, a little Asian guy ninja'd his way past me and pushed himself close to checkout to loudly exclaim that he will buy all the ammo. Making sure everyone heard it. At first I thought, man this guy is about to have some fun. That quickly dissipated when I realized his intentions were to hoard it and flip it. He was met with chuckles and told to leave by the owner.

I chatted with the owner when I checked out and he said it's better to service his loyal and future customers for return business than this one guy that will just turn and burn it. He also said in the span of the 10 hours they will be open, the ammo will sell out regardless. He would rather sell it to someone wanting to ring the steel today than to some opportunistic little ****. So good on him and **** that guy in particular.
 
Ammo flippers serve a purpose. I would gladly pay a premium not to stand in line when there is a shortage. Of course not waiting until its too late is more better. As far as buying up all the ammo in a store preventing others from buying just to flip it, karma is a byatch and there is a special place in hell for them.

Yep, watching that little ****er walk away empty was satisfying.
