I don't know about July 1st but a friend told me today he ordered two boxes of 380 from Natchez (I think Natchez) today for $100 a box of 50! Two bucks a shell lol, told him he's an idiot
I'm not paying near that for 9mm, though those prices are all over the place. Paid 28 bucks last night for a box of 50. If you're paying $28/box of 50 for 9mm, you should buy every single box you can lay your hands on. I was at a shop (Grice's) the other day that had 9 in three different flavors, 15.99 a box. Limit one per customer though.

One thing I have noticed by watching the auctions on GB is that ammo is somewhat drying up.
There are far fewer choices at higher prices than there were a week ago.
One particular brand was 3 pages listings of buy/auction last week. The same is less than a page this week.
The LGS by me has tons of ammo, literally. But, mgr says buying has slowed recently because of price. He says owners will just sit on it, people aren't going to find it elsewhere. talking to a friend of mine tonight, employed by nationally known name, about price and availability. people are still buying a ever raised prices.I have a feeling you haven't seen nothing yet. i know i turn now a guy for 2boxes of 9mm last month, 50bucks a box. its now 75bucks. Ron, that was the story at a big gun show I went to last weekend in West Palm Beach, FL. Lot of people buying ammo at high prices. What I've also seen is they are only buying 1 or 2 boxes at the asking prices. ?? I don't see what that's going to do for you. You'd shoot that much up just in initial practice. The prices at that show on 9mm ranged from lowest at $39.99/box to $50-55-60/box. Wow

There must be a reason so many people are stocking up on ammo at ridiculous prices. Also lots of first time gun buyers. Are people nervous about what is going to happen in the future? A reflection of people's attitudes toward the present administration and the past election?

I'm glad I have dies/components & reload all my stuff
+1 so do I and further more after seeing these panics since the Clinton's I still fail to understand why anyone who likes to shoot isn't allready stocked in his needs with an adequate supply. Mb This pretty well spells it out^^^. Plan ahead.

After your post and checking what available 9mm was going for online I went back today and bought 3 more boxes. Thanks for the advice.

People are damned scared and worried. Between a liberal/progressive/communist/socialist POTUS/Senate/House that has "common sense gun regulation" on it's mind, the defund the Police movement, and the riots/insurrections/turnings that we have all seen on TV for the last year by the anarchists, people are damned scared and know the government/police are NOT going to protect them.
This is why you are seeing the panic buying and increasing prices on a daily basis. We still have a ways to go before it shakes out...
