Talk to Elon, he'll be on his way before the gooberment even test launches a system capable of going to the moon again.I don't want to live on this planet anymore. Is there any openings on Mars?

I was driving up hwy 146 between Texas City and Kemah and saw this shop that had a sign we have ammo, thinking I might supplement my stash of .380 ammo I stopped in to see what he had. He said how it was so difficult to get .380 ammo that the price is high, and he is selling it for $88.00 for a 50 round box. I just laughed an walked out. Too bad you can't report this type of price gouging to someone.
Why are we criticizing people who buy low and sell higher? Every business in the U.S. lives on doing that. If we are involved with a product, we are not in business for very long if we sell at a loss. Same for service oriented business, if we charge less than what is needed to maintain a profit we are out of business.
Those complaining about ammo, primers, bullets, toilet paper all had their opportunity to buy when the price was right. When Warren Buffet does this we call him brilliant. When a TGT person does this small time we call him names.
You said it. To top it off, nothing is cheap in North Dakota except cold and snow.What was his purchase price and his profit?
Without that, how do you know it was gouging?
This attitude is why I no longer do shit to help people in disasters. **** them. Someone needs a $350 generator or whatever in Houston and they are sold out, Home Depot here in NTX has them for $450 ($100 markup cause they had to truck them in from North Dakota) it costs $50 for me to drive it Houston, then they call me a gouger for asking $500 for a $350 generator. Yeah go to North Dakota yourself and get if for $350....
You said it, Rotor! I still have steel cased .308, 7.62x54R, and 9mm, from the '13 craziness. Got to love Russian made ammo.Why? It isn't easy waiting in line to get something. It is work. I went to vote yesterday. The lines were unbelievable. I will try on another day. Every ammo purchase you or I have ever made has involved a middleman of some sort and they take their cut. Does the middle man have to shoot the ammo that passes through his hands? Look at it this way, the person is actually working by standing in line, let's say he buys the ammo and can't sell it. He has probably paid a somewhat inflated price. If he is stuck with it he can either shoot it eventually or take a loss.
I still have ammo that I "overpaid" for in 2013 crisis. We all have the same capability to buy when the price is right, unfortunately it is always a trick to know when that time is there.
To be honest, I won't wait in line to buy. But I did know when to buy most of my stuff and don't feel sorry for those short stocked. I have offered .380 ACP at $50 a box of 50 as I bough a ton of it and don't need it anymore. No takers. I don't care if it sells or not. I am not in the business of selling ammo but would get rid of overstock. I certainly won't sell at a loss.
I will be forgoing it because the math says when I am eligible it will not exist. 2032 It's over. Must be nice to be able to collect on something that the rest of us pay for. Social Security is the pure definition of a ponzi scheme.
At Walmart yesterday and dang if they didn’t have a few boxes of Winchester .380.
I don’t own a .380, but if I did, I would have bought it .
Meh. Could just be folks are at work and don’t have time to respond just yet.Silence is deafening.
The where's Waldo feature says different.Meh. Could just be folks are at work and don’t have time to respond just yet.
It used to bug me thinking about people doing this, but:This has been bugging me for a couple of days. I tried to bite my tongue, but it just bugs me.
You are part of the problem. I have no respect for neckbeards like you who run out and try to suck up any available ammo to resell at a profit.
It‘s a free country, so you can do what you want. But it shows a lack of character in my opinion.
And, by the way, I’m not looking for ammo. I stocked up over the last 3 years. So this post is not sour grapes.
Some phuktard launched a ignorant attack.
Just sayin.
I'm not talking about the ammo flipping practice as that's a legit gripe.
Just to be fair, I think I said ignorant phuktard. Or maybe ignorant phuck. You will have to go back and read. I know it's a big chore for you cause you didnt read what I posted nor the link you posted cause they say the same dam thing. Social security will not dissapear by the date you listed, they will have to decrease payments to about 80 percent if nothing changes.An ignorant attack? I actually have math, accounting, and facts backing up my postulation. I apologize you can't do simple accounting or math. It's not uncommon unfortunately. I don't blame you for it. I'm not the ignorant person here. I actually taught this before I went into the tech industry. Please continue to keep your belief system intact.
Also please call me a phucktard to my face the next time we have a meet. I'm a small man, not intimidating or overbearing at all. 5'4 and maybe 150 with clothes and wallet. I've had enough of you.
