Oh that. Again, this is basic market, not dealing with a flipper.no Wal-Mart has had any buckshot since late last year. I'm talking about the INGO classifieds
I agree I don't think he's what you'd call a "flipper", he's a good dude. But it's hard to know whoever is selling in the classifieds if he bought the ammo that he's selling either yesterday or 2 years ago, who knows?Oh that. Again, this is basic market, not dealing with a flipper.
I don't know how anyone else would react but I had to sell some inventory after I got out of the hospital after heart failure. I sold in a market that would have allowed a markup for approximately what I paid for it. I don't consider any else obligated to make that choice. I reserve the right to regard those racing me to the store to get a cut out of something they had no intention of being involved in other than as an obstruction with disdain.I agree I don't think he's what you'd call a "flipper", he's a good dude.

in this kind of crazy market it's all personal opinion on what prices should be. but the market plays itself out with items that are purchased and those that are not. Say someone needs to sell ammo to pay a bill, what sources should he use to set a price? Who's to say he's a "flipper" or just a guy in need?
with respect, understoodI don't know how anyone else would react but I had to sell some inventory after I got out of the hospital after heart failure.

A few years ago I bought a 30-06. It was a built by a hobby gunsmith, quite a nice rifle. It came with 11 boxes of Win 147 grain FMJ. Sold the rifle, still have the ammo.
If I understand this right, if I sell this ammo for the $12/box that it was worth at time, I'm a damn fool. If I sell it for $31/box (Midway current price), then I'm a damn flipper?
Sounds a bit unfair.....
This is hardly the thread for me to discuss politics, and I’d rather not detail the conversation, but I strongly dislike Dianne Feinstein.Feinstein, Pelosi, Schumer etc and so on.
You can see my post history. Please quote any of the posts, date and time stamped, where I‘ve said what you’re accusing me of.Exactly...you just bought your very first gun a couple weeks ago yet you've been on here every day telling us how much we should be selling our ammo for and for whom we should've cast our votes.
Mine meant gtfoh "the Democratic Underground (leftist forum full of idiots) is that way--->"
Hey new guy, this is INGO and we can turn any post into a political or food post as we please.This is hardly the thread for me to discuss politics, and I’d rather not detail the conversation, but I strongly dislike Dianne Feinstein.
Oh no thats me lately......
Food. Especially food.Hey new guy, this is INGO and we can turn any post into a political or food post as we please.
In my time I and a few friends have "Flipped" cars bikes (motorcycles) and boats. But in this we seldom just bought a piece and immediately flipped it. On that rare occasion yes but mostly bought "Hurt" muscle cars in the day. Fixed them and sold them. Same with boats and bikes. Scattered 4 speeds slipping clutch's and bald tires. Many were wrecked. Knocking rods etc. In the shop. Fixed and re-sold at a profit but there was over head involved.I agree I don't think he's what you'd call a "flipper", he's a good dude.

Check out this line for ammo, as posted by LGS "Top Guns" this morning in Terre Haute:
Buying cars or houses and fixing them up is flipping according to HGTV, but I look at it as skilled labor getting paid for their work. Now if the work isn’t done correctly and they just cover it with a fresh coat of paint then that is wrong.In my time I and a few friends have "Flipped" cars bikes (motorcycles) and boats.

We always had a few for sale.
But this to me is different and there are those who will make a solid argument as to market forces. And I get that. I also agree to a point. Having stood in line during the last scramble for booolitz and listened to those who bragged about the money to be made and when asked they were not shooters/guns owners just snake oil salesmen I took great pleasure throwing a shoulder to them to get my sister some 9mm.
I am (since Sandy Hook) always at the ready.
