With all the talk of the virus, regulations/advisories that State and local Governments are giving out, do you think that it would be a good time to sell, or buy, here on GB? If so, why, and what?..

    Well 9mm went out of stock overnight and prices on everything else went up, so if you have anything to get rid of now is the time to sell!

     Ammo yes, in popular calibers. Firearm's, like AR's, my local shop has seen a slight tick up. I sold him two of mine just  for stock. He sold one tonight. Of course, regions will vary.

    If you have extra, selling in the near future would likely bring some $$.  Ammo and guns are selling out quickly and are usually gone first.  I expect magazines to be next, followed by reloading supplies.  

    Locally, 9mm and 223/556 sold out first.   308/7.62 Nato, 40 S&W, 45 ACP, 380 are gone now as well.  All gauges of shotgun buckshot nearly gone.   Still quite a bit of 38/357, most  rim fire, shot shells, and hunting ammo (ex 243 Win, 25-06, 270, etc) decent supply, but that may not last long.

    I do think this time will be different due to the conditions of the virus/scare.   People in quarantine are going to have a hard time sending payment (think buying money orders), and sellers may have some issues sending items if they can not get to a shipper.  Say if USPS, UPS, Fedex, etc stops working due to concerns of spreading virus.
