It would be nice if you could get his contact info and then run another Craigslist ad and price them at $20 per brick with his contact info.

Well that's wrong. Many a c list shenanigan has happened.. "free pumpkins" signs in a competitors field and it goes on and on. no
 
LMAO that would be funny. If he responds to my email, I should have it.

Why do you care what other people try to sell their property for? If you don't want it nobody is forcing you to buy it. Sounds like to me that you need to mind your own business.
 
If you ask anyone if they want government to step in and put a cap on their salary. they alsways say "No"

But they have no problem asking that someone cap other people's earnings - especially doctors.

Food prices get high and people start crying that the government should do something... why should the farmer be robbed of his profits? Or why should money be collected from ALL taxpayers to subsidize food crops?

There is no such thing as price gouging... there's just economics.

When I sell my house I sell it for as much as I possibly can get for it - is that wrong?
 
No one from this forum better buy that ammo! LOL

There is a such thing as price gouging, but this is not an example of it.
Price gouging relates more to jacking prices on items that people NEED: Clean water or gas after a huricane or natural disaster etc. Taking advantage of people in a life safty scenario is unacceptable. Charging a high price for ammo, whatever?
In this case, people should be able to ask whatever they like. If people do not like the price, don't buy it. I agree with the previous poster who said "mind your own business"
 
I have no problem with someone getting a business license, recording their sales, and reselling ammunition purchased locally. I do have a problem with some welfare collecting <deleted> buying a large quantity of something and reselling it without a license when a license is required.

Whether a license should be required or not is another question, but as it stands that is the law for quite a few of these resellers. And I hope they face the maximum penalty of the law for selling without a license, or collecting sales tax.

It's alway best to tell someone how it's not gouging when you are gouging their eyeball out.
I read that in "the art of war" or just made that up.
 
Everyone has an opinion, I just made mine public.

So you are saying the gov't should step in and require us all to have a sales license to sell anything we own?

That is a dangerous slope...

And yes, the OP should mind his own business.

If you want price to stay the same.........move to Cuba.

This is still America, where everyone is free to sell their own property at whatever freaking price they want.

Don't like the price......move on.
 
Look on armslist. 525rnd boxes of .22 are going anywhere from $65-$95 in CT

on Gunbroker people are bidding 500rnd bricks of .22 to over $100!

[sarcasm]Buy your limit every day at walmart and resell for 3x the money. All without paying any taxes or paying for that pesky business license![/sarcasm]
 
I'm curious about the people selling weapons on Armslist. I see tons of ads for "New in box, never fired" and wonder if this constitutes commercial activity in the ATF's eyes since I doubt many of these people have FFL's?

I don't want more government interference, but if we're going to argue against new laws regarding background checks and private sales with, "they don't enforce current laws" then where is that line drawn? If Joe Bob buys one AR per week and sells it for profit without firing a shot, isn't that commercial?
 
I don't mean to be a ________ about it. I think for me it's just sticker shock. This was the ammo I used most growing up and was dirt cheap. Seeing the prices like this on it is just sobering. I see people buying ARs for twice of what they cost and think nothing of it. I wouldn't do it, but it is what it is.

There's a vast difference between someone selling off some ammo for a gun they no longer have, and someone who is buying solely for the intent of resale, especially when hitting the state's limits in regards to sales amounts in terms of gross revenue.

I agree in a perfect world, a lot of practices shouldn't require a business license, collect sales tax, etc. However breaking those laws isn't acceptable simply because you don't agree with them. It's not as if those laws are breaking your own natural rights, such as gun confiscation laws, etc.

In my opinion, I'd rather just see Walmart charge 30-50% more and sell the ammunition themselves. Some guy selling ammunition purchased from walmart out of the back of his car helps no-one but the guy operating an illegal business.
 
BTW, I NEVER, mentioned the government and new laws. NO NO NO!

Just remember that the next time you sell something at a profit.

And how dare you pass that sort of judgement on others. Maybe the guy is out of work and needs help feeding his kids? Maybe this month he can keep the lights on? Or maybe he's just selling the ammo because he can?

If you are letting this sort of thing get to you God help you if you ever open your eyes and see what wholesale misdeeds our own gov't is doing to us all...
