If they are buying out the stock at normal prices why do you think they have more money than sense? I would think they got more sense than money because at the end of the day they didn't overpay for ammo and I hate to say it but with the way things are going you're gonna wish you could find ammo at decent prices. The stock just isn't there.
I see what you're saying about the bread though. If I go into Walmart and I see 10 boxes of what I need and no one else is looking for it, I'm buying all 10. If someone is there I'll ask for all the ammo and then ask the guy how much he needs and either we split or I break him off what he needs. He ain't getting more than half though.
Well, I'm not debating the wisdom of buying retail over street market pricing. However, is it REALLY necessary to clean it out? I don't have a crystal ball but, I'm pretty sure that I won't be needing to purchase ammo 1k rounds at a time. I bought 200 rounds before I went to work this morning and left 300 there. At less than 35 per 100, it was well worth it. Could I have bought the rest? Yes. Did I need to? No.
It just seems that we are hurting ourselves. That many are buying it out all because others are looking for it.
I can't carry 5k rounds easily if i needed to bug out so, it seems pointless. Many may respond that in a SHTF that they will hunker down. What's going to happen if your house gets set on fire?
Perhaps the questioning needs to be broken into more direct questions. I'm trying not to include profiteering since for one, it's been beaten to death and 2, I don't want to assume that the majority of frenzy buyers are doing it for that.
