I saw the Pmags jump to $100 while at the Shipshewana gun show post Sandy Hook.
And thats far away from 150 bucks....

You block out bad memories.
Post 94 it was the AK and 15+ round pistol mags that were hot commodities. Not as many people were into ARs because we had imported a metric crapload of AKs and SKS dirt cheap so everyone had one or twenty. I remember a G17 magazine going for over a hundred bucks in 1990s dollars.
Post Sandy Hook it was AR mags because suddenly the "build your own AR" movement had taken off so lots of people had them when ARs became more popular after the 94 sunset because of the import ban so AKs and SKS were going up.

When were Pmags 150 bucks? Not during the 94 ban, Pmags didn't hit the street until 06.....
I assume he's talking about post Sandy Hook.
Could be, I dont remember those prices at all.
And it can only get worse.
Buy what you can now.

If you're buying now you're too late. All that does is accelerate the problem.

It all depends on how and why someone is buying.
I have not changed my buying pattern in the last 10 years. When I had a spare $100 I’d get 10 p-mags or wait until Glock mags were under $25 and I’d buy 10 at a time. My grandkids will be set for life on equipment if they continue to love shooting sports as much as they do.
The prices I was tracking were the auctions for 10 packs of mags on gunbroker. Yes it was after Sandy Hook.
Palmetto and others have plenty of AR mags still in stock for those unprepared...
For rifle mags, I'm absolutely set. For pistol mags on my go to guns, I'm absolutely set.
That sounds better... I know me, if they were selling for 150 each I would have told myself when this passes to put a case of them away for the next shortage..
I think that's a question we all have to answer individually. For me it goes something like this. How many mags do I want put away in pristine condition that are available and ready to use? How many more mags do I want all colorfully taped up and beat to heck from training? How many more mags do I want put aside for a rainy day when new people I know and love who finally got their eyes opened up a bit now want mags? There could be more reasons, than just those, but that's how I break it down for me and I'm all set.
How many mags is the comfortable minimum under current conditions?

I'm pretty much the same. There's working mags, there's setback mags, and there's give one to a friend who just got into shooting when there is a shortage.
Mags are like reloading supplies. Buy a few extra when I have extra cash and forget about them. Dip into the stock whenever I want a few more working mags and don't even think about it.
