7c a round for .22? What a rip off. A 500 round brink should be about $8.

Glad I stocked up when it was cheap and I don’t have to deal with these thieves.

my problem is, I like to shoot, a lot. When I stock up, it doesn't stay stocked up. Then I have to go see the thieves.

"A 500 round brink should be about $8."

Why do you feel that it should be sold at less than their manufacturing cost?

Please detail their raw material costs, parts fabrication cost, assembly cost, packaging cost, shipping cost, marketing and sales costs, employee benefits cost, utilities cost, other overhead costs and a small profit margin.

If you don't know the facts, please do not post erroneous misinformation.

You and like minded hoarders are the very cause of the current shortage and marketplace disruption.

We have met the enemy - it is the hoarders.

Those "thieves" to which you allude are simply applying the basic economics of supply and demand. They have provided a service to those that don't have the time or opportunity to drive around town and wait in line to buy their daily ration. Free enterprise at its best.

Yes, the rimfire ammo market will eventually stabilize and those hoarders that paid far too much for their stashes will rationalize endlessly about their unwise purchasing decisions, all meant to satisfy irrational thoughts about foiling "thieves".
