Profiteering in a time of War is a criminal offense. Paying off the employees so you both can profit from the Black Market (and yes GB is the Black Market) is not only morally wrong but legally wrong, just because no one has slapped cuffs on you does not make it right. So I hope no one will get upset when I call you scum.

The graph appearing in Post #1 in this thread was originally the work of Dr. John Paul Rodrigue of Hofstra University, who was writing about years-long patterns in the investment world, not retail products.
It has since appeared in other investment sites -- with proper attribution -- which I believe should always be the case when posting other people's work.

I speak the truth. You don't believe me. That fine. I don't care.
You say your stores are bare, what proof do you have? I would say PM me and I would tell you what stores you could get some ammo, but after your post I don't think so.
Good day sir, I hope you enjoy your little "shortage".

OldMac and Colt and maybe a few others,
First of all, some of your threats or comments are not High Road and I am surprised nobody has gotten rid of you on here.
Second, the guys selling 22 at inflated prices are not your enemy. Like they said, they are waking up early and getting ammo at Walmart or other stores. Then reselling it. If it wasn't for them, you wouldn't be getting any 22. You said you don't want to get up early and you still want your ammo. That is comical. The Walmart ammo line at 6:30 am contains some guys who will be reselling and the rest are shooters who would use it and others who want to stash away a bunch for themselves. So, the only people supplying the lazy sleep in guys are the resellers. Because you are not going to walk into any store at noon or 5pm and get anything. Trust me, I am at Walmart at 6:30am and the ammo line is 20 deep.
Even I had a reserve of many boxes purchased at great prices over the last few years. I actually added ammo to the 22 cal market in the last months by selling my personal ammo and giving a couple boxes to friends who needed it, while keeping a couple of boxes to shoot. Now I will stop selling to others and just replace what I sold. So unless you are getting up early you won't beat me. Because I am going to buy the next 40 boxes for my personal stash and you won't get it. Your only hope is for a reseller to beat me to Walmart so he can buy it and resell it to you for higher prices.
I guess the point here is you are gonna need to get up early.
And the ridiculous comparisons to communist Russia are out of place. Even in free market you will find your self waiting in line if you want the product badly enough. Ever see a town devastated by tornado or flood and services disabled? Ever see people waiting in line for clean drinking water? Sounds like you didn't prepare for the current market situation. And I reiterate, the ammo resellers are your friend. Because there are so many guys like us wanting to buy to shoot it weekly or to stash that it is not going to be easily (i.e. see getting up early) available for a while.

Here is a video that examines price gouging ethics.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9QEkw6_O6w
If you believe in the free market, like an American man should, then the ones calling names all over this thread should view the video, admit they are wrong, and apologize.
To stay on topic.....the bubble on 22lr is going to be very long. Literally everyone seems to want 10 or more boxes and they wanted them yesterday.
I called my local Walmart last night to find out what would be in stock this morning and it sounded like a great delivery: 10 boxes Federal 9mm, 20 boxes Federal 40s&w, tula 9mm, and a little more that I didn't care about. I didn't go since I don't need any 9mm but I am sure there were a lot of people in line from 5:45 or 6am til 7:30 when they start selling it.

"I won't post the stores I claim are splitting at the rafters with ammo, but PM me and I will gladly list them for you post-haste! Why I'll PM the list to you faster than a starving squirrel spring-board leaps onto the last nut on Earth!"
Quit dragging this out and playing "I've got a secret." It's obvious you don't want anyone trying to independently verify your "facts." Think I'd rather PM a mod to police up this shambled thread.

Count me as a novice who wasn't a shooter during the last "bubble." I thought I had a pretty good stash.
I had no idea what was coming but I don't resent anyone for it; that's capitalism.
