stern arms 40 S&W conversion unit for my colt a2; cheaper than buying a whole new rifle but not a hi point
Economically speaking, Id be interested to hear more about your supposition on mfg cost. I cant readily see factors causing a rise in manufacturing costs here. In fact the spot price of one component, lead, over the last 5 years has been generally downward, and the price today is less than it was a year ago.35 dollars for 50 rounds is the new normal, get used to it.
As to Cabela's, they may have had a ten year contract with a manufacturer to make their store brand ammo, and the manufacturer is now getting the sh*t end of the stick selling to them at 10 dollars a box when their manufacturing cost all in is double that
he alludes to a warehouse location somewhere on the website.Let's put it this way with the volume of (everything) moved by deli ticket emporium they have offsite storage somewhere. All of the "bigs" usually do.
I could name quite a few NES members that purchased cheap ammo at Walmart then tried to dump it here for more than 2x the cost.Everyone could sell ammo retail for the correct price. Then chumps like us could step in, buy it ALL up and then re-sell it to people on NES for 2x-3x the price.
Captchas can be faked, even ones that require human interaction.The alternative - put some sort of CAPTCHA on the check-out pages to ensure humans are checking out

back to topic, i often wonder why small local gun shops don't enter into an ammo co-op to see if they can increase their buying power and bring in ammo probably cheaper than the prices they were getting for ordering individually. i would expect them to enter into an agreement that every shop would sell the product at the same pricing but i doubt that would happen, capitalism being what it is. wishful thinking is all.
@EmacsWhere do people even buy High Points? I have never seen one in a gun shop that I recall.
Dude its called supply & demand.
In capitalist economic structures, supply and demand is an economic model of price determination in a market. It postulates that in a perfectly competitive market, the unit price for a particular good will vary until it settles at a point where the quantity demanded by consumers (at the current price) will equal the quantity supplied by producers (at the current price), resulting in an economic equilibrium for price and quantity.
The basic laws of supply and demand, as described by David Besanko and Ronald Braeutigam, are the following four:
- If demand increases (demand curve shifts to the right) and supply remains unchanged, then a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price.
- If demand decreases (demand curve shifts to the left) and supply remains unchanged, then a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price.
- If demand remains unchanged and supply increases (supply curve shifts to the right), then a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price.
- If demand remains unchanged and supply decreases (supply curve shifts to the left), then a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price.

Unless the suppliers are colluding to fix the pricing or artificially limit supply then the price is simply market demand.othere charging $35 box of 50 is price gouging
