[QUOTE="FamousAJ, post: 2548609, member: 9545"] So, basically double. ok last question, where is the bar for someone to think another is gouging? 10% markup? 20%? 30%? ....and of that mark-up, does it depend on what price the alleged gouger bought it at? or is set at current WM prices? I gave away 2 bricks to a cub scout dad so his two boys could get their small arms badge, but the next week I sold another brick of the ammo for $30 to a guy looking for ammo at academy. I probably had $25 invested in those 3 bricks combined. did I gouge? or did I set a price that the market would bear? did I feel bad, nope. Why should I sell to the guy for $8? So he can flip it? no thanks. you know...people say, "stop paying the gougers and everything will come back to normal". I think the new normal is here, but it fluctuates just like gas, eggs and milk or the cost of ice cream. People bitch and moan about $3.50 for a gallon of gas, but yet they buy $1.99 for 20oz of water. Like BB said people will bitch about being hung with a new rope. I just paid .07 a round for some ammo that will take me years to shoot (and my kid, in like 5 weekends). I sold 5k on this very board last October for $200, at a time when all neckbeards were at the top of their game and every OSA'er wanted blood...I had $160 in that ammo. So, depending on your answer to my question above, I may have gouged. God forbid I made money in America, where Capitalism reigns free. If you make payments on your car or have a mortgage, someone is making money. They ain't in the money making biznizz for fun. Those LGS and pawn shops you mentioned that pay ppl to get all the ammo. How much do they pay them? I wonder if they are passing along that cost to us. Hell, even SSP was selling Federal Blue for $39.99 just 2 month ago. let's get real folks. Did you hear about GW closing their doors? neither did I. Their prices are astronomically high which means someone is still paying their "gougers" price and they will continue to pay, because, well you know...not everyone is as smart as everyone here at OSA.
