.22 lr shells 6 cents a round....

i'd like to buy a case of cci sv if i could find it. 
Part of the .22lr shortage is based on the poor mans attempts to hold value outside of precious metals. The wealth buy real estate in London, Vancouver and Toronto, the poor buy coins and goods.
It is an interesting way to get out of dollars. I cry every time I look at the prices I used to pay for ammo.

London? Ontario? ....... I always thought it was Montreal/Toronto/Vancouver
I never thought of that but you are probably right
London England. Every rag that speaks of real estate economics or inflation have included countless articles on it. Every major city in a politically stable market oriented state is suffering a property bubble. Montreal is less effected because of the political instability of Quebec and the general cohesiveness of a nation state make it less appealing if you are a chinese nouveau riche tying to park some cash. Lots of other global cities are going through the same thing.
The relationship between interest rates and money supply is broken. Hence the price of everything is going up. Only the financially illiterate believe the CPI or anyone that claims that inflation is 2%.
If money is loosing value, park it in something real. There will always be a demmand for 22lr. It may not be an investment that gains value but it could be a store of wealth that looses less value. The prepper/doomer channels are full of barter item suggestions and .22lr is on everyone of them alongside their gold/silver, buckets of food, MREs and firestarters.
If you are blue collar you dont likely have much to save so things like .22lr and silver coins are popular. If you are wealthy you need a better store of value. A couple of luxury homes in a few of the most choice/stable states forms a nice store of value regardless of what happens to global currencies.

Look at my reply to your post in the 'Yellow Jacket' thread regarding Euro ammo.
price. find me ammo from europe that is $20 a brick like people are longing for on here. getting ammo isnt an issue. getting cheap bulk ammo is the issue many have. target shooting sports sells euro match ammo and NA target ammo by the case. really no issue in getting that stuff. they wouldnt touch bulk with a 15 mile long pole though.

The lady was stocking those and was in the way, but I said I'd take a couple (assuming theyd be 4-6$ a box). It was only until after looking at my receipt I noticed that ridiculous price! I feel dirty inside, taken advantage of. I must always check closely is the lesson I learned.
remington eley for that price is decent. i would pay that. anything else..... not a chance.
