Cabelas in Hudson has ammo

[paul73]

Acting like a socialist because I seek out a bargain? Grow up. I post up a bargain and people bitch about it. Go pay .75 cents a round then and ignore this thread and don’t seek out a bargain at normal price of .28 cents a round. One thing for sure, I’ll never give another heads up for cheap ammo again. Ungrateful.

Relax. Road to hell is paved of best intentions- always was like that. Deals links are always appreciated.

I edited my post to say some gun shops and if you are inflating prices on guns and ammo, then yes you are taking advantage. I said gun shops gouge to some degree. Some of the prices I’ve seen in the classified section classify as porking.

Don't like the price, don't buy it. No one is forcing you to pork yourself, and jeezus, stop whining like a little girl.. Makes me want to throw a 1k round case of Federal 5.56 up for sale this weekend just to "Pork" the members.

A better title for this thread would probably be "Cabelas in Hudson had ammo".

Still a decent amount of 9mm left. .45 is gone

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe things are turning around. Are they allowing 5 boxes or 250 round max? The guy behind the counter is a dickhead. He told my brother in law there was a 250 round max yet I bought 5 boxes of 9 and a box of 500 .22.

Interesting that porking is the assumption. I have 1000rd cases of 9mm for sale at $780. Am *I* porking my customers or offering them product they may not be able to find in quantity anywhere else? At that price I am making a little money but a lower % markup than before COVID. It just costs me a mint to acquire and stock ammo. I could only stock what I get from my distributors which is still higher than pre-COVID but I would get 1/2 a case a week or so. Or I can buy on the secondary market and have something in stock.

I guess I am gouging or porking or something for making product available to my customers that want it. It's not like I am MAKING someone buy it. If the price is too high it will sit there and not sell but it flys off the shelf. No limits. Apparently I will "lose" customers for porking them during COVID when I spend more hours searching for ammo to get less product at less profit than I did before COVID.

I cannot support your perspective

$780?? You got to bump those numbers up and get it out on Gun Broker. Everyone knows 9mm is selling for $1K/case out there on the global market. I kid, I kid.

I could only get 250 max. of the 9mm. They didn't have any other that I can use. My son got the last 50 of the .45 and 250 9mm.

$25.99 for a box of 500 Herter’s rimfire and $13.99 for Herter’s 9mm box 50. They have Blazer Brass, Winchester 200 round boxes and some steel case, not sure what brand. I like the Herter’s. Quality stuff.

Limit one box per caliber?

I won’t. Pork away. Take full advantage of the pandemic. You must be so proud of yourself.

5 boxes up to 250 rounds When I was there. Like I said earlier the guy behind the counter is making up his own rules so who knows now.

I’m glad some people here were able to get some ammo from this post.

I am not calling you out for the PSA. That's great! Glad to hear where the normal price ammo is. I am dumping on those passing judgement on people charging market rates.

NP. What’s the market rate? I don’t have a problem with shops charging a higher price for ammo. I understand they are smaller than the big box stores and probably get second dibs on suppliers because they can’t buy the bulk. I’ve bought ammo at shops with maybe 10-20% higher prices. I don’t have a problem with that. I’m talking about yahoos that think they can charge whatever they want and expect people to just bend over and take it. That’s not capitalism. I call it rape.

Neither did grain merchants in France in 1788.

Heads should have rolled...

Before you accuse shops of gouging, educate yourself. Gun shops are paying >$.65/round for 9mm from their distributors. They buy it and mark it up appropriately to have ammo for their customers. Only a socialist would call a profit of $5/box "gouging".

If you don't like the prices, don't buy ammo. As far as people "porking" buyers in the classifieds goes, if they price it too high, people won't buy it. Why should someone take less profit than they can get to "help" people that were too short sighted (or too cheap or too lazy) to ensure they had an adequate supply?

I have a job for a couple of you mobbed up Italian NESers. I need you to knock over the ammo truck on it's way to Cabelas

It would be like dividing by zero !

 

[SHOCKNAWE]

I see nothing wrong with price gouging. Unless you’re Mother Teresa, everyone puts their own interest first. This is not a charity. Those that were smart to acquire and stock up while ammo was cheap and plentiful (while everyone else sat back and didn’t spend the money) should be rewarded. Yeah it’s painful to pay a premium, but if you want it, that’s the price. If you don’t take it, someone else will.

I agree with both points and some others but on NES it all depends what day of the week it is. Some days people get shit on for “Porking” or “Gouging” even “Rape” while others times it’s met with a shrug and “It’s a free market” buy and sell at your own free will.

Is there any left at Hudson?

I look at it the same way stocks are traded on the market. The stock price is determined by what it's actually buying and selling for. If a stock price is too high, nobody will buy it. If it's too low, everyone will buy and the company will be devalued.

If ammo sells at a certain price, that's the price. If it doesn't sell (like a $1500 stripped lower), then that's not the price.

I would think so.. With purchasing limits people aren't going to travel 45 minutes for 5 boxes of 9mm.

 

[drgrant]

I won’t. Pork away. Take full advantage of the pandemic. You must be so proud of yourself.

Go run a gun shop and sell ammo way below market. I dare you. You won't do it for very long. Tell the class how well you did after. This industry is cyclical enough that if you're not doing a little bit of cosby action when the demand is high and packing the coin away, you're going to get hosed. Also in a roundabout way the shop isn't even setting the price, the buyers are. If it's overpriced just stop buying it.

I only see 10mm

F u c k. Wanted some 9mm

I get a laugh out of this moral sanctimony stuff every time it happens. People run around screaming "rape" on gun or ammo prices like as if someone is FORCING them to pay them. People
act like the guys selling the ammo or whatever are trying to sell homeless bums a hamburger for $48 at gunpoint or the guy in the middle of the desert is selling parched travelers a bottle of water for $1000. There's no morality dilemma here, it's a fake one invented by people who didn't prepare.

Let's put it this way. I have a bunch of guns and ammo. I'm not actively selling any of it. I would probably sell some of it if I was offered the right amount of money. Say $1000 for someone that wants a case of 9mm from me. Does that make me a "rapist" because I have determined that I would have to get more than market price to justify even justify even selling it? I also have a 3rd gen Glock in my holster that I wouldn't sell for anything less than 2 grand. It's not "worth" anywhere near that much. However its worth that much TO ME, intrinsically. (for a whole boatload of reasons. ) The only difference between me and the guys you are bitching about is they actually listed their stuff for sale. That's literally it.

The worst thing the flippers are guilty of is perhaps wasting someone's time in looking at their ad. That I can agree on, in that one corner. Just put them on ignore and move on with your life. I hate flipper culture as much as anything, but acting like these people are "bad" because they listed some item for stupid money (and there are nippleheads who actually pay it!) is facially absurd. It makes no sense.

@Rob Boudrie put it well in another thread... it suddenly isn't rape when you go to sell your house when the market is hot and you figure out you can EASILY grab another 30 grand out of the buyer because of market conditions. Somehow, THAT suddenly isn't rape..... and EVERYBODY f***ing does that....... but someone pricing ammo at a stupid price or slightly above market is this awful moral offense or something. I don't get it. You can't have it both ways. Unless you're going to sit here and tell the class that you're going to sell your house for less money than you could easily obtain otherwise.... and take a hit, because you thought it was too expensive.

If you had some gold coins you bought in 1985, would you sell those to me at $324 an oz ?

Answer the question honestly.

So I stand corrected then. I apologize to the dealers and the peeps in the classified if I upset them, and believe me, I won’t be buying ammo from them. Don’t tell me all dealers mark up prices accordingly. Some gouge so don’t tell me they don’t. I never accused anyone specific so anyone with butthurt called themselves out. Like I said in an earlier post in case you didn’t read it, I don’t have a problem with someone making a profit. Just not exuberantly.

A little bit different. Your talking about investment as apposed of something that’s going up in smoke.

Its the same thing.

Ok, try this, Bitcoin.

Would you sell me Bitcoin you bought or mined 3 years ago for $.22 each ?

You also need to stop using the word gouging, I'm not selling you water or food.
