I wonder if wholesale prices on these bullets has increased since before the great ammo/component drought?

Just ordered a box of bullets from MW. They were maybe 10% more than a couple other places, but they were in stock.

Fortunately for Crying Karens,Imagination and Pretend are free,so they can "afford" to "contribute"...the "lucky" kchunts. Hint. Congratulations?!?

That being said,they will feverishly read my EVERY word and gawk EVERY Splendid Pixel,in regards to that which arrives in the Mail and continue to "live" vicariously from their Couchbound Kchunts. Hint. LAUGHING!

Bless their poor poor(literally) hearts,for Whining and Crying though,despite it being their one and only "move".

Hint.

The price is why, if you really need them, Midway has 'em.

The price is the reason Natchez is out of stock.


Let's look at one of the items that was in my cart at Midway.

60 grain Partitions. $39.99 at Midway when they were in stock. At the same time they were in my cart at Midway, they came in stock at Natchez at $29.49. So, Natchez earned my business and at the same time, to spread out the cost of shipping, I added some things to my order. Midway still had their bullets when Natchez sold out again. Midway's higher price kept me from pulling the trigger. In the meantime, a competitor who has kept prices reasonable earned my business.

Obviously the $250 Midway lost won't bankrupt them. But if and when things normalize, I will do my best to give Natchez all of my business. Previously my orders were pretty balanced between the two of them. How many people are there that are of the same mindset. Reading around, I am far from being alone.

I am not going to raise hell about Midway. I may still buy from them in the future, but I'll remember these times. It's simply a cold unemotional business decision on my part.

Natchez is a pimple on Larry P's ass at best. I'd suppose 10x the inventory at Midway?

Good gawd. Prices are variable. BFD, no seriously, they are? Like, no chit? Really?

Bitching about the birthday discount? Takes whine to a whole new epic Campfire level.

Old lady and flower seed prices comment. Priceless.

If I see something at Midway I don’t want to pay the marked up prices, I look elsewhere. I just bought some 150 gr ELD-X .284 bullets and 6.5 Grendel brass at Cabela’s with free shipping. I’m happy with that, but if Midway has it and I need it or really want, I’ll pay their prices. I’ve never had an issue with ordering from Midway, same can be said for Brownells.

That’s why they have travel the world money, they squeak when they walk. If they don’t travel the world or use the money, what good is it?

Buying what I want when I can find it, where I can find it, if it’s not more than I am willing to pay, just like before.

Plan ahead?

Buy more than you need when prices are low?

The mechanized infantryman's packing philosophy is that it is better to have and not need than it is to need and not have. I'm an old mech infantryman and tend to pack heavy when I don't have to carry it on my back..

Well, now. Larry says he appreciates your business....

And, he smiles when he says it.

Now you know why he's smiling...

I bet that you can see where you're going and where you've just been without spinning your head around. laugh
