So I was in a local gun shop the other day. This gun shop is usually known for really high prices, but has a great selection. Anyway, in the middle of the floor I see a few cases of Federal Champion .40 S&W ammo. To no surprise it's the red box that they sell at Walmart. Even had the WM in the product code. It's no surprise that gun shops are buying ammo at Walmart to try and resell it. Now what got me wondering, is when I've seen this done in the past the ammo has been marked up. This shop had a price tag on it saying "sale" and $12.99. This ammo is $14.47 at the closest Walmart and $13.97 at a Walmart about an hour away. So my question is how the heck can they sell the same ammo Walmart is selling, yet sell it for cheaper?
