I agree with your post. I'm done buying stuff that I don't own guns for. As of now, I'm only buying things that people have requests for. I have 3 guys who said they will buy any and all AK ammo I run across, up to 10,000 rounds. That's the main thing I'm looking for right now. A couple other guys said they will take all .22 I can find at 0.10 CPR. I can see the profit margins shrinking which is why I won't be buying anything that I don't have someone who is requesting it from me

Prices won't be going down that much though. We are in a new norm of 0.40cpr as cheap .223. We are also at least 6-8 months before shelves are regularly stocked again

Prices from the store...no, they will not go down. But prices from flippers will plummet to the point that it will actually be possible for flippers could get stuck with ammo that they cant move....or have to take a loss for it.

I mean....I bought some 22 ammo for 10CPR and made a pretty damn good profit off a bulk buy and flip....I would have never paid 10CPR for 22 ammo BUT that was a great score.

I think that the point is coming where people need to start buying smarter..Flippers buying 22 ammo in bulk at 8-10CPR will soon find themselves sitting on bulk 22 ammo. Of course with 22 ammo that really isnt a huge deal..because it is cheap and who couldnt go out and blow through a couple thousand rounds out at the camp one weekend...

I just used 22 as a base for conversation but with the higher caliber (more expensive) ammo, the risk is higher of course.

I am not saying it is over, but I am saying that it is probably time for flippers (and personal purchasers) to start being a little more selective. And for flippers, dont piss away everything that you have worked for over the last 3-4 months.

Sounds like you are doing that TTT, I wasnt directing this post at you, just sharing thoughts with the board mostly.
