Running a little experiment on GunBroker auction

[S&W Fan]

I just watched a brick of cci standard velocity sell for$110 + $15 shipping!

Hell, I looked at some Aguila Colibri ammo on there and it is selling at $100 for a brick of 500 . That shit doesn’t even have any powder in the casings for christ sake!

 

[ikilledkenny]

There are still decent options available for 22 online. less than a week ago I paid as low as 4.99 for a box(50) of cci ammo. They are out there for reasonable prices. Just have to have patience.

 

[repete]

maybe I can trade my lever evolution ammo for a new truck

I'm sick to stomach thinking about the 4 boxes of that shit I gave away!

I recently sold 4 boxes of .30-30 on GB...almost paid for my new p365. People are crazy.

 

[Podmonkey]

Suppose it could also be the guy who shows up to the range in his $200,000 G-wagon and doesn't give a damn if its $4 a round or $40....

Nah, guys like that don't shoot .35 Rem. Guys like that shoot 300 BLK, current military cartridges (through all the latest tacticool hotness) and whatever the boutique cartridge of the month is.
That kind of person will show up to the range with a SCAR, a B&T PCC, a $3,000 custom Glock and a custom high end bolt action chassis rilfe with a $5,000 German optic on it. Also, more than likely, his targets will look like he spent the day patterning a shotgun, which he may have also been doing with his aftermarket custom Benelli M4.

I have been selling a lot of 22lr and making a fortune. At the height of all of this, I was selling a brick for $99. Sold a shit ton of them. 100 round plastic box of CCI, I was selling for $25.

I have a lot, A LOT of 22. As long as there are people willing to spend this kind of crazy money, I will continue to sell.

I'm just shocked. You can still go to a store and get. 100 round brick for $7.

I don't blame you for making a buck, but please people, think.

I bet the store that used to sell 100 rounds for $7 doesn't have them any more.

Im in lower westchester and there not many stores around here. The few that are will sell ammo for online pricing like a $1 per round. Bass pro is 45min from me. Dicks no longer sells ammo near me. My only option is to buy ammo online or at gun shows at a reasonable price in todays standards.

The ammo you gave away is only worth $2-$3 a round. But the happiness and joy you spread is priceless!

You have to be there the right day.

The big box stores are still selling for only 10-20% more than 2019 prices.

I just got Winchester hollow point 100 round brick of .22 Lr for $8/100 at wal mart a week ago.

Your .223 has hit $1.00/round on many web sites. I’m not willing to pay that but I guess many are.

If this goes on long enough I bet you would be.

Sure but I’d almost never pull the trigger for fun anymore. I’d essentially only use my .22lr at that point.

Gotta shoot no matter what, marksmanship is a perishable skill after all. Gotta practice, gotta shoot, gotta pay. That said my 8 hour, 1k plus round range days have long been a thing of the past.

[whauburger]

Damn, I should sell some ammo apparantly

 

[kaliber]

What is in more demand and expensive on GB. What requirements are needed to ship ammunition?

9mm is probably the best return on initial investment but any ammo is sure to sell at a high price as we have seen here. Any ammunition suited to self defense in firearms geared towards defense i.e. anything "tactical" are probably the hottest things going. Ammo can't be shipped via USPS and not all UPS or FedEx drop of points will except ammunition either. It's not illegal for a private citizen to ship ammo though so maybe just lie and say they are bolts or some such. I do so all the time, ship firearms, parts and ammo and list them as "machine parts". When I sent a rifle back for service once I said it was a pump and related hardware for an aquarium.

thanks for the advice but I will be 100 percent legitimate and ship ammo in the proper and legal fashion With full disclosures to the shipping company. Something about lying and saying your package contents are bolts , machine parts or aquarium pumps when it actually contains restricted or regulated items is a no go for me. All legitimate, all the time yields a less troubled life and worries. Just my .2 cents.

 

[cgrutt]

I ship ups. Has to go ground and have a limited quantities hazardous materials label on it. Only restriction is it can't be over 50 cal or weigh more than 66 lbs. You disclose its ammo when filling out label as "Cartriges, Small Arms" but this doesn't appear on shipping label. The retail stores won't accept it has to be dropped off at a service center.

UPS rules here: Shipping Ammunition: UPS - United States

This label:

Except when your wife asks how much you spent on your guns.

 

[cgrutt]

About half-way through auction Remington at $2.50/rd shipped with 11 watching and Federal at $2.25/rd shipped with 22 watching. Fun stuff! Like watching grass grow kinda fun ha ha...

 

[cgrutt]

Little under two days to go both are at or slightly above $3.00/rd shipped. 12 watching Remington and 20 watching the Federal. Doing better than I expected but consistent with other recent auctions.

 

[dsdmmat]

I have seen an 8 pound jug of varget lasted at 1200 bucks. Thinking I need to get a vault for my powder and primers.

 

[phatfarmerbob]

Just told the wife about this thread... was told that I ain’t selling shit .... ahhah
