I have been tracking non dealer ammo listing and sold notices on eight internet sites (in several States too). Not an exact science but listing are staying posted several days. Ammo is NOT being snatch up within a day as was the case a week ago but some of you may still be reaping the panic buy/price benefits. It may not be the time to invest the rent money and expect a quick profit turn around a $1 per round for good stuff and 50¢ for steel.
.22LR seems to still have a strong secondary demand.
Wallymart and the other retailers are still getting cleaned out but there is light at the end of the tunnel. As the "private resellers" have basically sold to everyone who has panicked to the point of buying at the crazy prices, they will drop prices more and more as time passes. Since private resale will slow down, so will their resellers actions of wiping out inventories on the net and at retailers.
I'm sure there are more ammo buyers using just retail outlets then using internet resale sites like this Forum and Florida Gun Trader. Since the reseller market will dry up quite a bit. Retail shelves will slowly fill back up once the non internet net buyers get their fill. When the reseller's get nervous about being over invested in ammo they will start to advertise in the local papers to try and tap the retail buying a market. When newspaper ads stagnate we will be headed back towards norm supply and demand stocks and prices.
I hope everyone noticed the only big reseller market was in AR, AK .22LR .308, with minor 9mm, .40 and .45ACP? Never saw heavy or any ads to resell 38 Spl. 357 SIG, 40S&W, 45LC, .270, 7mm mag, 300WHBY and about two dozen other common calibers! All these are still gone from retailers shelves due to the public scare but I do not see the overall demand in all calibers to last much longer.
What do you Resellers experience?
What do you Buyer/end user think?
