How i came to be an "ammo flipper"...

[chucklenut]

There is no justifying flipping Walmart ammo at current market prices. I say current market prices because I think the demand has exceeded the supply so it's expected that ammo prices should be high as they are. I have no issue with where current pricing stands, other than the fact that I hate paying more for ammo. However, Walmart is not an ammo dealer/distributor nor have they significantly increased their price for ammo. Clearing out a Walmart's shelves of $.04 per round ammo and selling for $.10 per round may seem like capitalism on the surface, but in reality it's artificial inflation, gouging, what ever you want to call it. These douchebags have no legitimate business contracts, expenses, or overhead, and are simply capitalizing on free time they may have that others may not have.

Those of you nonchalant about the whole thing or excusing these flippers are free to do so, but don't try to do so in the name of true capitalism because you just fail.

that would be true except that the scenario you describe is only for a commodity that experiences a decrease in supply in the short run (less than a year) seeing a general price increase across the board and then having it remain high after the scarcity period is gone is pretty ****ed

going by that view of the free market, once production returns to normal and inventory increases we should see a reduction in price even from before november

Last I checked Walmart does not deliver.

The same could be said about a farmer. All they do is plant a seed.

I get a chance to **** the 1%. I'll take that all day.

Who do you think is paying $1 a round for .223 ammo? Sure isn't the welfare moms.
