I am in Van city and it seems like no one have them any more. Went to Lever, and the guy told me that evryone is short of them while the S**thead behiind the counter is packing them into the 300 rnd packages (true story). Wow. Anything to rip you off. Anywhere else have those big case for cheap prices still. I just want to shoot the heck out of my sks?

Check out CanadaAmmo in the above advertiseing header panel on the upper right corner. He has it for $169/1120 shipped. You are in the same area, maye even be cheaper for a pick up. bearhunter
 
For a few months now my supplier has been selling only 100 rnds at a time, and said Nobody is getting anymore of the stuff in the next while...See Proutfoo I told you so. :D

well, I am going to drive over right now to my secret source and PICK UP ANOTHER ONE!!!

I only have about 60 rounds used up from the first one, but better safe than sorry :dancingbanana:

UPDATE: 11:54 and I am back from the store, with 1120 Czech rounds in my trunk :dancingbanana:

according to my calculation , lever would gain only $17.92 more by breaking up a 1120 case and repacking it into 300 rd packs.... i wonder is its worth all that extra work? addition packing cost and sales handling..... heck!! just opening the tin can took me a good 15 min.

but what other explaination would they have for repacking?

that is 17.92 x4 = $$$
 
Subtract min wage for employees, and then of course you can bet the ammo will now be marked up a bit in the individual bags, and there yah have it, profit...

Just guessing of course, but based on my previous retail experience...I wouldn't be surprised.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the flow of this ammo was being regulated by some of the dealers themselves, and not so much the UN or some Government agency.

:rolleyes:

well, whoever is making it hard to get will not get the best of me. I have enough ammo to fend off a small zombie invasion, and in the meantime, plenty to plink at the range :dancingbanana: It also makes an interesting computer chair to play BF2 :)

no, not $17.92 x4 but $17.92 for the whole 1120 rd crate.

cant divide a crate evenly by 300rd so there will be 220 rd left over. 1120/300= 3 pack of 300 rd .

they will make $4.80 extra profit per 300 rd pack and $3.52 on the left over.

i never been in retail so i cant say that its worth repacking but i see what you mean CALUM, its better than having your staff twiddling theirs thumbs.

i bot a crate 2 months ago after i got an emailed from canadaammo.com that they were out of stock and when i got to lever, they only had 2 crate on the floor so i bot one, never thinking they would actually run out.
 
Depending on the item, store policy, and many other factors the average retail mark up is around 33%. I'm not sure what Gunstores price stuff at, but it looks pretty close to that from what I have seen.

Also once things become scarce, then people are willing to pay more.
Think of the SKS as an almost free crack pipe. :p :D

Maybe so they don't get a bunch of people #####ing because they're completely out of ammo. I can picture it now: "you sold all the crates? Didn't you keep any packs? I just want to buy 50 rounds?"

At least this way if somebody wanted a days worth of ammo it can be bought. I guess I'm just not bitter because I bought my "extra reserve crate" a couple months ago. I do hope new supply comes in shortly though.

your explanation makes more sense to me....repacking for more profit wasnt the primary motive (altho it doesnt hurt) but rather they didnt want a bunch of #####ing customers who wants to buy ammo ...... especially those customers who also want to buy a SKS/CZ rifle. what good is a rifle without ammo?
