A sign of things to come...

Except this time it sold for a crazy price.

To be clear, there might be some increases in the short/mid term, but nothing that warrants the kind of prices that guy paid for 1000 rounds. If prices ever make it to 1$/round for 9mm, I'll sell most of my stash and buy a second house.

If 9mm made it to 1$, can you imagine the prices of larger calibers? 45acp/357mag for 2$/round? Plinking quality 308 for 2.50$/round? Hunting rifle ammos from 243 to 300WM and shotgun shells for 5$ a pop? A lot of people would sell their stash at that price and retire early.

If you wanted to make quick money a few months ago, you should have bough AMZN stocks, not ammos.

I think the cost spike is about the availability of the caliber and not the materials

9mm and 12ga being the most common for defense will see the supply issues and therefore cost increases.

My assumption is that most other calibers will stay pretty flat (not including exchange rates)

Some special circumstance in this auction, but fundamentally IRG is/will be right: a consequence of morons deciding monetary policy. Rapid inflation is the inevitable result of the money printing presses going full tilt. Not even twenty years ago, 9mm ammo could be had for ~5.00 a box, now it's over 15.00... 3x increase in several years during the more conservative Harper years into Turd Reich. It's not unreasonable considering the current trend to expect $35.00 for that box next year.(700/thousand) And for those who think this is a result of manufacturer greed... you're thoroughly stoned on blue pills.

Availability will be influenced by supply and demand, and obviously also influences prices but those prices are always measured in baseless dollars.

Lmfao! "Turd Reich" that's good. I'm stealing it.
 
Yup and this is why I just bought 16lbs of powder and thousands of projectiles. I go through 6000+ rounds of 9mm every summer. For me it has nothing to do with paranoia, just don’t want to put my life on pause. Better stock up people if you want to do any shooting through the end of summer/fall.

Every time we try. All we get is.
"It'll never work","It will never happen", "No one will support you, I mean I would, but only if others do first"
Everyone, including conservatives are unwilling to do anything different. They always say it has to be a process that main stream morons are settled on for the past century.
Which usually means Ottawa controls the process.

Alberta separation is only 1 example. The separation party is highly organized and look to be taking 2nd place in the next provincial election.
With no campaigning I might add.
Yet people on both sides are jumping up and down spewing BS. Hoping to kill the fight against Ottawa. While at the same time, are pissed off at Ottawa for F'ing them over every single year.

Typical conservative.
"Man these Liberals really suck, I hate how they want to take away my guns, and increase my taxes to the point I can't live"
Well then lets do something to take the power of gun control and taxation away from them......"Oh I don't know about that, I think we should just vote in a different group who have to please the same people who want to take away our guns and eat our money". "Maybe, just maybe they will suddenly fight for us for the first time in 20yrs"
You know if your province left Canada. It could make it's own rules right?
"Make our own rules? That just crazy talk"

Every province should leave Canada. There is a reason areas like europe have so many country's. When they try to form together. Some people always work hard while others just leach from the rest.
Like what happens in Canada.

That makes no sense. If 9mm cost 1$ and 45acp cost 30¢, everyone who owns both will stop shooting 9mm and shoot 45acp exclusively. Those who own only a 9mm will buy a 45, and pay for it by saving 70¢ per round. Just about everyone who's on a budget shoots less. Demand for 9mm drops and demand for 45acp increases relatively. The equipment used to make one caliber can be used to make the other (mostly), but the 45 requires a lot more material. There is no way that 45 would stay 30¢ if the market price of 9mm was 1$.

The amount of ammos shot in self-defense in all of NA is a few hundred per year, at most. The amount of ammos shot at paper target on a range is a few gazillion per day.
 
Looks like there is a nice little arbitrage to be had over buying ammo in Canada and smuggling it into the US. Lol. What a bad idea.

But then I saw more than a few Americans coming to do exactly that in the last shortage...

It is not even close to the same thing. There was no virus effecting production and work place efficiency. That compounded with the upcoming Presidential election, and the recent looting and violence in the U.S has depleted everything.

Not only all of that but for example, Remington declared another bankrupcy. The problem with that is, it also affects Marlin and Barnes since these are part of the Remington Group and there are probably more than we are not aware of. So now, not only Remington production is affected but also Marlin and bullet production by Barnes. While Marlin and Barnes didn't all of a sudden evaporate, they probably keep producing but it certainly does not help the whole shortage situation. Even liberal like minded people are now buying guns in the US.

Rem bankruptcy is chapter 11. Everything is still being produced. Especially stuff that's accretive to earnings.

Who in their right mind needs a thousand rounds of 9mm so badly that they would pay $1usd per round? If I wasn't stockpiled, I'd do without.

Yeah but with the Democrats starting the next civil war, if you don't get it now you wont have it when the shooting starts. All the militias are waiting for Trumps go signal.
 
I've tried them, very comfortable and stops the government from reading my mind. If you put one over your Kevlar helmet you are good to go! Remember to buy name brand tinfoil and to double up. They ain't condoms!
 
Time to start reloading ...at those price it make no sense not to. We have Canadian bullet maker - Campro and a choice of lead bullet maker. Better off, cast your own. It is a lot cheaper to load up in primer and powder. I have 18 000 primers and enough powder to bring me in my 70’s. You recuperate the cost of equipment very fast when you have to pay such price for ammo.
