Holy elephant dung Batman!! They can kiss my ass for $75
Tony Wall at the Make Ready Pro Shop didn't jack his prices during this. But I think Tony is sold out. Dustin Gaunder is selling the windowed ones right now for $14 out the door. He didn't jack his price. This = business that get my money in the future. Cheaper Than Dirt and this kind of stuff is amazing. There's supply and demand and there is price gouging. I don't know.

I am surprised that unicornBAY even allows that to be on their site.

I should offer to trade him 3 pmags for that HS stock he has for 191, sounds fair to me
No. That won't work. It's only worth more when the other person has it. But when you get it it is worth less. So he will want about ten pmags.
Damn it! I wish Berry would have lost this election!

Holy god.
I'm thinking of selling my assult baseball bat. $1250 sounds fair. I'm going to start drinking now so don't be surprised if it shows up in the classifieds in a few hours.

I read something somewhere by a guy who owns a gun store. Basically what it comes down to is this: there's panic buying everywhere and gun store owners are out of product. Distributors are out too, and it looks like it will be a while before they can get anything back in stock. Normal profit margins assume that you have a more or less consistent flow of products from your distributors to feed a reasonable stream of customer demand. However, in this environment, that profit is going to have to last you for possibly a really long time because you're dealing with the same shortages the customers are. Selling at normal prices isn't a good way to stay in business.
If you want PMAGs for cheap, then you should buy them when they're not the #1 hot commodity in the US. Shop owners who go all Good Guy Greg and sell for old prices are making risky business decisions.
Then it's a good thing I sell more than just pmags.
If you're Ok spending $60+ for a pmag, I'll sell you mine from my kit. I'll use GI mags until this crap stops

Yeah I'm talking more generally. The account I read was by a guy who deals mostly in EBR/tactical stuff so this is obviously hitting him pretty hard.
I don't imagine that there will ever be a panicked mob fighting over your last CR Speed belt.

You've never been at his house the night before a 3-gun match. MADNESS!

just a quick look at gunbroker this evening.... all the PMags I found are looking like $50 or higher -each.
We have had a good supply of 223 here the last few weeks... today my local pusher had 2 cases of 45 grain loads... all the 55-62 grain stuff is back ordered.
This run shows me we have sheep in the gun culture... 223 5.56 is the big topic this week as well as all things AR. When BHO got elected the first time we ran out of "everything"... I have not seen a run on 22 LR or 9mm and 45 ACP----Yet

I've never had a single issue from a GI mag. I'll stick with them.

I picked up 6 New GI 20 rd units a couple of weeks ago.. glad I did. You know it's a frenzy when all the 5 and 10's sell out.

It reminds me of going to Reasor's when Tulsa was snowed over 2 years ago and seeing people walking out with 8 gallons of milk.

I had to go to walmart in stillwater (two stores) and Ponca (one store) yesterday,
There was not one box of .223, 9mm, or .22 rimfire on the shelves.
There was a few .40, and .45ACP left.
I reload, so I didn't partake.
