Walmart labeling their ammo as only be for sale by Walmart

Just got back from my Walmart. No stickers, yet.

Now, they have a dry erase board up showing what ammo they will have the next day, the quantity, price, and time they will bring it out.

Makes sense. People will show up earlier and walmart will probably get additional sales from people since they are already there.

so if i buy a product, title to that product immediately shifts to me. now, the seller tries to dictate how i am to utilize that product? what a crock of crap.

Walmart has a mechanism for legit sale of items to those who plan to resell it at retail.

It's called Sam's Club. A retailer files certain forms (exactly which ones I don't recall) and is added to a database of authorized tax-exempt resellers. It can now go to Sam's and buy stuff without paying sales tax, because it agrees to collect that tax from its own customers when the items are resold.

Of course, ammo flippers are not doing this. If retailers are buying up Walmart ammo and reselling it from their shelves, the state (assuming it's a state that has a sales tax) is getting paid twice.

My local Sam's doesn't sell anything related to firearms.

(on another note, I was at Wal-Mart yesterday buying shotgun ammo, and a clerk walked up to the counter with four 525-round boxes of .22 for $22.50/box. Customer in line ahead of me got two and I got two -- happy!)

sent using CPIP (see RFC 1149)
