Then where is all the Munitions and Arms from South America, Europe, England, Russia, the Middle East, the Far East, the Mediterranean, Africa.

Re: PRICE GOUGING Concerning Arms and Munitions

A good buy indeed you made. Looks like you got right in there in the morning. But why only 1 box per arm ? Could I then say "Artifical Scarcity" ? You speak yourself of 2nd hand knowledge so yes that is hearsay. Its getting late and I want to catch the last James Bond movie on tonight.

Re: PRICE GOUGING Concerning Arms and Munitions

Another fact of price gouging is . At the gun show less than two months ago. Purchased RWS sports line for less than $16 a box of 50 . Now same company re-seller retailer selling the same box for $26.00 as a matter of fact the Retailer is located in San Antonio . So you tell me if that is not a fact I do not know what is. Considering RWS is not a USA munitions firm what is the reasoning behind a 50 % + increase in cost.

Re: PRICE GOUGING Concerning Arms and Munitions

I sense hostility in responses from my claims. Being in marketing and commerce myself I still stand by my claims. And also I wait for your Facts and respect all your replies. I am simply not going with the general opinions.

My Facts are based on what I see at the stores and online. I also hear only hearsay statements with out proof. I have attached a model of marketing and accept more "critical thinking" on everyone's part.

When Adam Smith (1776) observed the English market place he formulated his famous "Invisible Hand" theory.

Let us not rush to arms nor draw swords as it will do nothing but divide us.

Re: PRICE GOUGING Concerning Arms and Munitions

Yes my concerns are for the independant businessman ,and consumers.

I walked into Walmart last week in the afternoon. Picked up Winchester 100 rd value pack $40.77 and for sure it was old stock. Several months back I paid $37 so that's about 10% increase for old stock. I can see why the indepedants need to increase retail cost to offset lower volume sales.

As far as 3 shifts to produce munitions I haven't heard of a company that would not not hire more help vs. Paying overtime and benifits yet.

Didn't they see this coming from the last few years?

I'm not crying here as we have purchased at on-sell prices last year.

And for sure the market is being munipulated.

Re: PRICE GOUGING Concerning Arms and Munitions

My Facts are Check your retailers shelves and your online sellers.

Check the cost and see that they are being increased daily.

If the Manufactures of Munitions and Arms are not increasing prices as much as retailers are Gouging Consumers for then they in the interest of Commerce should make public statements saying this.

If they are working 3 shifts producing more ammo than before at only 10% increase as you say which I totally disagree with then their profits are still staggering.

This comment of mine is based on my facts and its only intention is to bring more information into the whole big picture.

Re: PRICE GOUGING Concerning Arms and Munitions

We should all ask the (all) Manufacture's if your past munitions productions = a profit, and now say that past production formulas can not keep up with current demands, and you now say that you now have multiple shifts to maximize production levels, then why have retail cost risen to upwards of 50% or more.

In a mathematical formula above current Munition Manufactures are making 150 % profit over their past production profits.

Sure its what the market will bear

But using arms holders like myself to make cause for their use of Price Gouging is not warranted.

PRICE GOUGING Concerning Arms and Munitions

We need to discuss PRICE GOUGING In my terms it would be the Overcharging, Psychological Manipulation, by the use of a current situation.

The Ammunition Manufactures are withholding, delaying shipments, by means of controlling the Inflated Cost of Current Ammunition.

We all know the Current Ammunition Retail Consumer Cost have been raised by at least a Minimum of $10 per box of 50 to upwards of $15 per box.

The Psychological terms used by the manufactures is a monetary driving motive and nothing else.

In past national tragedies such as Hurricanes, Tornado's , Flooding, Droughts, and Wildfires in all cases there has been constant Price Gouging.

Let us not be so consumed in what is before us as what is behind us, and make sure that the ones we think are with us do not pull the rug from under us.

Let us have all the Facts.
