When Death Merchants were starting to stockpile and gouge customers Walmart did not raise prices like the others. I never have had to show ID but then I am a crusty old man so there’s that.
i still have dreams of fat bellied death merchants choking on outdated .22 ammo that they have carried in and out of gun shows for 10 years.
Thats right. I’m a bad...shut your mouth.
Wal Mart was mostly where the resellers were getting their stock...and Wal Mart's policy of "not gouging" was the reason why. It preserved profit margins for the reseller. As soon as Uncle Eagle topped off their monthly disability piggy, they hit the parking lot and waited for the shipments.
If Wal Mart had started "gouging" (ie, free market behavior) like everyone else, it would have crushed the old coots' profit margins and they'd have gone back to the LGS. You know...butts parked on the red Winchester stools, radiating knowledge like a hot stove and blocking the view of the 1911 case for hours at a time.
