Trust we sent our stuff back into the world in good order.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.
At what point does gathering scarce resources constitute flipping, gouging, hoarding? Free markets right? At the present time there is an artificial market being created. High prices will eventually cure high prices. The best course of action is for the retail stores to keep raising their prices. Eventually the panicky people will have enough, the hoarders will say no way and the flippers will have nobody to sell to.
Dropped into walmart yesterday to get some veggies, made my way back to sporting goods, they now have a limit on shotgun shells--1 box per customer- i grabbed a 4 pack to shoot trap with. shotgun is one thing i don't reload
Yeah during the Obama years shortages, I never once had an issue finding 12g target loads.Tried last weekend and they only had 2 boxes of 16 gauge. Crazy times we are in when you can't find 4 boxes of 12 gauge for clays.
I agree back then there were several calibers as well as most shotgun shells that weren't affected, not so this time.Yeah during the Obama years shortages, I never once had an issue finding 12g target loads.
True stuff.I agree back then there were several calibers as well as most shotgun shells that weren't affected, not so this time.
People are literally buying anything and everything they see even when they don't own anything in that caliber. Way too many flippers in this market, especially when you see 12 gauge slugs selling $20 for a box of 5!Stopped at bass pro yesterday. Ammo limit of 4 boxes / 1 bulk pack (250 rds or more) applied to all ammo including shotshells.
Only rimfires on the shelf as 22lr shotshells. No pistol ammo. Handful of obscure rifle cartridges.
Shotgun was pretty much all turkey/bird hunting loads in subgauges.
That is the hoped for scenario. What about economy struggles further due to increased Covid restrictions from Washington as unemployment climes due to executive orders. Hope for one, prepare for the other. Loss of up to 70,000 jobs day one......I'm sitting tight. If the economy tanks and people are struggling to pay bills- this stuff will start hitting the market and prices will normalize.
