Plenty of other options even with CTD for 75c/rd. Not sure what the hot thing is with green-tip.
75c is STILL outrageous, but more in line with what is going on right now.
I'm of the mind that CTD must be targeting either dumbasses, elderly, or mentally ill people, because I've never seen one situation in the past 15+ years where they were the only ones who had ammo for sale. Even the flippers are always cheaper than CTD. I would never buy from them either, but does it make me evil if I like them existing? If they distract dumb tinfoilers and keep them away from the more reasonable stuff it's possibly a win...CTD has always been a predatory seller. Having lived through several shortages I recall their antics well.
I'll never buy from them... period.
Only if their brain is filled with rocks.And yet .... there are many newbs and those with zero ammo, that will very eagerly & happily pay that price ....
Only if their brain is filled with rocks.
The same time though now, its tough to determine how many of those people are shills?Those are very the same types of "buyers" who are bidding against each other (at thousands of auctions) on GB = scorched earth full potato spending
I've been selling it at 60 cents per round which is over 10 cents per round less than TSUSA when you factor in sales tax etc. I'm sure I could sell for higher but I'm fine getting 60 cpr....for now lol.I might sell some of mine, just don't want to make the buyer cry, and don't want him to laugh at me either.
He posted that back in August.Right now that’s more towards the “good” than bad side.

I've been on several firearms websites. Most of them have 1 or 2 posts a day. It's why I still hang out here when I no longer have to deal with living in the Northeast. "Most" people don't know what else is out there. On any given day I see someone's eyes go wide when I mention buying 'cases' of ammo at one time. 'Most' people buy 1 or 2 boxes at a time and think 'I'm good'. I know I'm a lightweight when it comes to this site, but I'm sitting on 5-10k rounds of various calibers (mostly .22, but still). It's been a while since I did an inventory. I've literally had people take a step back when I slip and mention my house probably should be on a 'DNR' list for houses for the fire department.
I buy from CTD because it's simple and they have always had what I needed and had it in my hands 2-3 days later. I have yet to be disappointed in a purchase. While 'more expensive', in normal times, I have never found everything I was looking for at significantly cheaper prices. Yes, 223 might be cheaper, but the 308 wasn't somewhere else. The whole buying process takes 2-3 minutes and I'm done. Now that I don't shoot as much and have more free time, I'll be more inclined to try other places and look forward to it.
I keep saying, every place everyone has mentioned is on backorder, I'm waiting for my $400 case of 556 to email me. If I get that email, I'll be ordering, if I'm quick enough. That's a LOT of if's in one sentence. CTD has it in stock and probably in your hands in a couple of days (if normal shipping rules applied, Christmas and Covid are screwing everything up).
Lol, I stopped paying attention to them when their prices started bouncing all over the place. Further, in normal times I've never found them competitive. Maybe better part of 20 years ago
they were, I remember on a few subtypes of ammo they would steep discount, but nowadays? They're basically a joke. if I go back to January or even Febuary this year, I bet I could beat
their prices at retail locally. There are at least like 5 shops that steep-discount ammo when they can get it.
I'm seeing PMC with 19 bids, 4 hours to go....at $755. Time to put a case up for sale.so, i am all set, but, tempted a bit.
there are at least 4 auctions for federal .223 that are to end in 3 hours. all are at very competitive price levels right now - $305 - $405, all from OIF seller that will ship to MA.

Sealed HXP cans seem to be getting bid up to $250 or so for the 240 round cans on gunbroker. I have a couple on ice that I don't have particular plans for, and if I could get that price with a local cash sale I'd be thinking really hard about it. Same for 7.62x54R if it gets up to $0.75/rd or so.I should be selling the 30-06 I got from CMP 15 years ago. Damn. If .223 is 50c. What's 06? A buck a round???? I could pay for my Garand for crying out loud. LOL

I think that's the real price cap right now. Once prices are high enough that it gets people to start selling their stash it reaches equilibrium.
If you want "back in the day" stories, at all the gun shows in the 90's there were these big wooden cases (iirc, 2000 rounds) of Chinese steel-cased 9mm that were selling for $100 or so. I assume corrosive, but at that price...
