Would like a flippers point of view...

[NY63]

without the flipping and frenzied buying perhaps there would be more in stores? (but thats hearsay and subjective so whatever)

and i said it before in here. if someone wants to over pay for something like a chump thats between them and the low rent douche selling to them at the inflated cost

i will stand over here and not be a part of it

There would be more in stores if manufacturers would ramp up production. Then demand would go down along with cost, thus driving "flippers" out of business.

See that is the problem. I wasn't debating you...

Yep, a few guns have pretty much been like bonds or CDs for me. I'll hold em for a while, have my fun with them.. But if I need a quick $500, I know I can usually cash it in pretty quickly for what I've got in it.

And if I've got 22, you better believe I'm gonna shoot it.

id shoot more often if i didnt live in atlanta

i could always use some more .22 but i think im sitting on about 400 or 500 rounds right now so i dont feel the need to horde or scrounge for it

and thats how i use alot of my guns. redneck 401k lol. i buy and hold onto them because i like them as a collector, but if i need to sell i always can

Production was "ramped up" as much as it could be. There simply wasn't enough to go around with all of the panic buying. That's life. Next time buy some ******ned ammo when it's plentiful, don't wait until you have to scrounge for it.

its already kinda happening

im not up to speed on the manufacturers or suppliers side of things but it does certainly seem like they could have gotten their **** together if they wanted to

i dont know if they upped production at all or just kept it the same, thus creating this secondary market

Not enough. Need at least 1k of every caliber you own.

Hey, that should matter to you. Claim Victory!!!

Well someone is buying .22lr or the flippers wouldn't be flipping. I see alot of .22lr in stock at "flipper prices". If it remains in stock the market price will adjust to demand.

No I just want to be nice and not push you too hard, otherwise you might end up in the corner in timeout again...

22's made itself a niche.It is produced 24/7 but it gets headed off with the middle man who buys at store price than sells at 100/150% on every site around.We see it here cause we are here.Its gonna happen,but sometimes it might just bite you in the ass.
