Interesting tidbit overheard at Fleet Farm

Want food, ammo, or anything else from me in a disaster, send your daughter. The hot one, not the fat one.

You could at least have been more politically correct and said, "The hot one, not the NICE one." Or, "The hot one, not the one with the nice personality."

Also, just for clarification, I meant to pick a smilie that said "shock", not the smilie that would appear to indicate that it is surprising that I would pick the hot one instead of the fat one.

Careful. Just as she starts showing some skin and your blood starts pumping, you lose concentration a bit and she slits your throat. Then Dad walks in to your castle and takes everything.

At least that's what I envisioned when I read your post. I'm guessing you don't have a daughter.

This is a good time to sell ammo. The ammo makers are probably putting out as many rounds as they can, and eventually the people who are stocking up will stop buying due to lack of funds/space/spousal approval.

It's just an ammo bubble. Be ready for the down side! And there will be a down side.

I disagree. I think the current conditions are here to stay. Sort-of like gas prices, we will never see $2.00 gas again.

Very few daughters are actually capable of pulling that off, no matter what the circumstances. Especaially after a search for weapons of all kinds.
You did guess right, however.

Do you think that you won't see $10 (Gen 2, windowless) PGMAS again online? I would not make that bet.
Do you think that you won't see $6xx.xx DPMS AR-15s online again? Already seen it (but they still ould out fast because demand is still there).
Do you think that you won't see sub $100 forged no-name receivers? You definitely will. Who would continue buying up all of them, and at inflated prices?
Ammo won't be different. Eventually it will come down, but it will take somewhat longer because people still buying everything they can and even at ridiculous prices. As soon as things return to the state where you know that you can walk into a store (and if not that one, the next one) and buy it there, many of those people will lose interest.
Gasoline is an entirely different commodity because you NEED it to get to work. If you stop buying it, you lose all your buing power. And $2 per gallon gasoline is entirely possible, it all depends on the supply and demand (barring taxation that makes $2 impossible).
Naturally, manufacturers won't make ammo at a loss and retailers can't afford to sell it at a loss, so there is a minimum that you will be paying, but assuming no governmental distraction, ammo prices will go down sooner or later.

Nah. Dad's obsolete and disposed of by this point. She's keeping it all for herself. Until things get medieval enough that she's hunted down by an angry mob and burned for witchcraft. This is actually all the plan of the jealous fat daughter, who, due to widespread famine, is now looking pretty good.

Okay. Bookmark this thread and come back to it in a year and let us know how things are going.

Gladly. (Assuming, of course, that dummycrats don't pass some ammo/bullet tax and that a year from now we won't be in the middle of another panic/scare due to another mass shooting with dummycrats trying to use that as another excuse to try to steal our 2nd Amendment rights).
It's highly unlikely that ammo will become the first ever commodity to defy the law of supply and demand.
