Check out the high bidders completed auctions. He's buying nothing but 22 ammo and he's buying all he can at any price. How many hundreds of thousands of rounds has be purchased? I don't think he's getting it cheap enough to resell at shows, he's just stockpiling it.

Good Lord!

    Maybe he knows something you don't? Maybe he is RIGHT?

    (I have no idea, but I have plenty of 22lr!)

    Contributing to the .22LR supply problem hurts everyone. Especially the youngest shooters we want to see taking up .22's and learning to punch holes in paper, knock over soda cans, learn to be safe and appreciate firearms.

    Greed, just like morphine is good stuff.

    Until it reaches poisonous levels in your head.

    Some of those bids... A hundred dollars plus shipping for 500 rounds of .22? Some people have more money than sense. Wish I had more money [B)]

    I still wouldn't pay those prices even if I had money.

    I am sicker of the gas and food prices we are being gouged with. There is .22 ammo available for decent prices for those that have a clue. Just watch this site for a couple weeks and load up on .22 as I have bought 7 bricks here already. That should last me for a long time as I will not waste it like in the past.

    Like I said, he's buying all he can get regardless of price. How much does he need for Armageddon?

    Don't see anything wrong with the topic. Not interested enough to try and contact the buyer to ask him what's up, but the .22 ammo problem is big enough there's lots of room for wondering what in the hell these sort of buyers are up to.

    Prepper?
    Wannabe Gouger?
    Hoarder?
    Shopaholic?

    Midway had some Aguila last week for 39.95 a brick. I thought about it, but with shipping it was something like $56. I just still refuse to pay that much.
    I just saw some here for $75. About to end with no buyers.

    Yesterday I picked up 5 ammo orders at Cabela's, then headed out to the desert for some .22 (mostly) plinking.

    Since the panic set in the free ship to store angle has been the best ammo deal I have found. I don't have time to poke into Walmarts and local places numerous early mornings. So I watch the Cabela's web pages, order on sale mostly. Then ship to store for free and the deal works out.

    Wish I could do it with Bass Pro, they are much closer to me. Swapped emails with them recently. Tried to explain that their approach to online sales keeps me driving further, to Cabela's.

    Cabela's only shows what's in stock but Bass Pro makes you wade through dozens of pretty pictures of ammo to get down to see if one item is in stock. Takes fer frick'n ever to do that. So I don't order from Bass Pro.

    Anyway, I'm topped off for now on .22 S/L/LR/WRF/WMR (yep, all those). Also .380, .38 Spcl, 9mm. My .223/5.56 and .30-06 are in good supply. 12ga is piled up, don't use much of that anyway.

    I got four bricks of .22 at Gander Mountain a month ago for $26 a brick, shipping and tax included. Also got a brick from Cabela's for about $32. It's out there at fair prices if you're patient. (Mine is for summer shooting with four grandkids.[:D])

    If he has the dough to spend, why criticize? Sounds like a lot of sour grapes and jealousy to me.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain
