So sick of this

[drgrant]

The problem with a private citizen buying up stock-piles of ammunition with the intent on reselling it is, that is, by definition, a business. The person should be: Charging Sales Tax, Paying Business Profit Tax, reporting the income. If they are doing it out of their home, their home is likely not zoned (and there for taxed) as a business property.

Avoiding those expenses and restrictions provides them with an illegal and unfair business advantage.

Also, the person is likely not waiting all week at Walmart, they likely know exactly when the Walmart delivery truck arrives and then proceed to buy-up all of the available stock they can as soon as it arrives, specifically creating a supply problem to drive up the price. That is also, specifically illegal.

Let's just cut to the chase then and close ebay and craigslist, or dictate that "nobody sells without government paper"- otherwise the temptation for anyone to profit is simply "too great" for mere mortals to handle on their own.

If anyone is left after that, then offenders shall be rounded up and shot. Flea markets will be set ablaze by government commerce brownshirts. Can't have this unfettered, unregulated selling going on.

After all, business without government paper is BAD business. Boy Scouts raising money for charity? Church bake sales? NEIN! you must only profit with the permission of the state!!!!!!!!!!!!

......and to sell a GUN without permission- we have a special group for that offense, known as BATFE. They'll come into your house, stomp your pets to death, and then indict you on a myriad of felonies because you made $100 on a mixmaster german luger you decided to sell to a guy that lives down
the street.

+2 looks like we've been infiltrated by girlie men who don't like it when people try and make a profit. You hear about the same whining when somebody puts an item down for $0.99 on ebay with a $15 shipping charge. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Charging sales tax & reporting business profit tax?For selling a couple of boxes of Ammo someone freely purchases.I asume you vouluntarily disclose your yard sale or gun show profits in your full disclosure tax return,Too! Its not like the seller is holding a gun to the buyers head,forcing a sale,Or a corrupt socialist Govt.entity is forcing a tax or tariff apon it.
When making a couple of bucks when competing with Sprawlmart,this is giving someone an unfair abusiness advantage over WM? I'll take every advantage I can get over that conglomerate. Sure cheap ammo is great,but you won't find me in there buying an American flag that was made in China. Why do they have limits on ammo purchase quantities? ..so everyone can get a little ..yea right! F-walmart,.(But they pay alot of taxes)I hope

+2 spot on!

You don't have to be a dealer but you CANNOT sell ammo without a special license:

Chapter 140: Section 122B. Sale of ammunition; ...

"No person shall sell ammunition in the commonwealth unless duly licensed.

Not all of us live in the Commonwealth. Some of us walked the walk to a freer state.

How on earth did we ever live without government regulating our every move?

Admit it, you just made all this up, didn't you?

Oh, those damned capitalists are at it again.

Prices are information. If prices are set artificially low, like ammo prices are at Walmart, it is likely that folks will be buying in bulk. Conversely, if prices were artificially high, then you'd probably be able to pick up a box of (insert brand/caliber/grain here) any time you wish.

And what's with the emphasis on the "government permission slips"? SHVOW ME ZA PAPERS, SIR!

 

[FalArAk]

This reminds me of the thread where the guy complained about people buying more than one box of ammo at WallyWorld.

 

[Youradolt]

Who says one has to be a dealer to sell ammo?

Man, quit your whining. It makes you look weak.

Its not legal to sell ammo without a license if you wanna be a dick about it

 

[Youradolt]

God forbid Youradolt would have to expend an ounce of energy to provide for himself. He wants an unlimited supply of whatever he likes at the nearby store and all at the price HE thinks it should sell.

wrong again dumbass I go to walpole walmart every moring on the way to work and on my days off I go to rayhem and plymouth to look for ammo I guess I struck a nerve with you are you selling ammo at a crazy mark up up did I make you mad boo hoo

You don't make me mad. You make me laugh.

I was smart enough to learn to reload and then stock up. If I want ammo I make it on demand. Shotgun, rifle, pistol, it doesn't matter. I make my own in every caliber I shoot except .22 Long Rifle.

Guys like you who whine at their own lack of preparation do not command much respect.

Oh, this is good!

Oh really how are those primers treating you not all of us can reload some of us live in apartments and dont have room to reload think before you open your mouth speaking of being cheap why are you not a member dont wanna spend the 19 bucks and why are half of the threads you start all locked? I see you dont think before you post im done talking to you I made this thread because I wanted to see who else was tried of this issue Im not going to name say names on this forum But I Know sombody that drove the east coast to all walmarts and bought as much ammo as they could just to sell it leaving none for people who cannot reload or people who dont have a big income that cant buy 1,000 dollars worth of ammo in one day. You wanna make a profit open a sub shop

 

[Youradolt]

Lock it up guys its clear you can't have a opinion on this matter with some people

This thread delivers.
