22 LR gouging

At Bass Pro Vaughn yesterday I learned that there is a store imposed 200 round limit for 22LR per PAL holder. On the 222 boxes they make an exception ($13.99 was the price)

They didn't have much - I recall seeing a few types of Winchester only.

How would they do that? Do they only allow 4 boxes of 50 or such? Are they simply no longer getting bulk packs?

That's right. They didn't have anything bigger than 222 or else you could get 4 by 50. Sounds like they want bulk packs, just don't have them. The guy writing things up wouldn't even slip an extra 50 in there for me...

You need to stop while you are ahead. You asked and were told it was per box of 100. Still you continue to make up pricing. Please cease and desist both the misinformation and the name calling.

I think the confusion lies in the fact that the original ad showed a brick of 500rds for 12 bucks.
 
incredible the nonsense over the 22 pricing. It seems many have forgotten the value of things. If something has value it costs more money, simple, and since our dollar is becoming less valuable across the board. Imagine, my 3500 car, that was new in the 40's is now 60,000 crazy.
 
I enjoy complaining more about the price of bigger rifle rounds getting up to $1.50 a shot, reloading is the solution I guess, I have lots of 22lr.

one thing I do find particularly interesting while I have heard responses to ammo prices and gouging, our weak dollar, price of powder, suppliers charging dealers more, blah blah. why can I buy a case of Winchester target loads for trap shooting for about 2 bucks more than a year ago, 65 last year, 67 now, that's not even the 30% markup on the dollar, so I call B.S on all the excuses, you can keep your 50-90 dollar bricks, it just aint worth over 50.

if you are out of 22lr get out your dusty 1000 plus ft per second airguns and shoot them til the prices drop........boycott the 22lr prices

Now yer talk'in................ :cheers:
 
Maybe everyone is just looking in the wrong spots.

No end of 40$ (tax in) bricks at my club. Some of the LGS around me have 38$ (before tax) bricks. Even the Cabelas has Rem Buckets for 99 (? might be 109..) and lots of other CCI.

Only my local CT is gouging at 11.49 for 50 CCI quiet.. Wont buy from them anymore, told the sporting manager as much too.

So here is my position on "Gouging". When there is very little supply and huge demand, gun stores are selling very little as they cannot get supply to meet the demand. When supply finally arrives, it is often a small amount and will not make up for lost revenue when supply was low. This means the dealer must take advantage of the high demand for the small supply to partially offset the loss from when supply was not available. Remember, when you can't find ammo, the stores can't find any either and therefore, lose revenue. If I have 10 items and 100 customer's who want it, the price goes up. It works that way in every industry (think gasoline). The price will come down when the shelves are full and few people want it. This is the first rule of business.

If you don't like the price, don't buy the ammo. Please don't crap on the dealer as they are just trying to make a living under these conditions. I don't know many gun store owners who are getting rich...
 
At the local hardware store, they had plain jain Remmy .22's for $7 a box! When I told my wife that, she said it is cheaper to shoot centerfire! Even she gets it. Scary.

No such thing as gouging. Everthing is worth what its purchaser will pay for it. Pay or dont. Start your own 22lr plant if it is so profitable. Everything else is noise...except the undertow of persistent and high inflation brought by corrupt banking practices and the collusion of governments.

This is exactly right. Please try to understand how hard it is running a business, especially a gun store in Canada! The 22lr situation is as bad for the gun store owners as it is for us. Don't hate them for raising prices, it's just how the market works. Deal with it.
