I don't fault WP for trying to make a buck. Hell, that's called supply and demand. It's the idiots actually buying stuff at these prices whom I find fault with.
I recall being in Washington DC several years ago in August. Ever been in DC in August? Fucking sweltering hot with crazy humidity. Anyway, we're walking from our hotel to the Smithsonian and there are these vender carts along the way selling store brand bottled water for Disneyland prices ($3 a bottle). We're hot and thirsty and my wife at the time wants to buy a $3 bottle of water. I say "Fuck no! They have water fountains at the museum" (we're only about 4 or 5 blocks away). Anyway, we come up to an intersection and there's this young black kid with a pop-up and a huge cooler, like one of those 200qt ones, full of ice and bottled waters and a stack of bottled water flats from WalMart with a big sign that said "Ice Cold Water $1". He had a line of people at least 10 deep whereas the other carts had no one. Fucking brilliant. At $4 for a flat of 24 bottles of water he was still making a tidy profit while completely undercutting the other guys. I told the kid "You're gonna be a very successful business owner someday". We bought 4 waters and enjoyed them for the rest of our walk.

Stores have em at at least $2 per shell. We re talking Remington, Federal, Winchester... OO buck or slug
Gunbroker is even higher, plus shipping plus tax...
Prices only going up. You won t see ammo prices come down for a very very loooong time.
7.62x39 I bought 3 months ago for 35 cents a round, now they re 50-75 cents a round.
22lr is also at 40-50 cents a round for the good stuff (CCI)

With Remington going under they shuttled one of the largest ammo plants in the country. Add that to the labor and material shortages and the panic buying and well, here we are looking at $.50 for a round of decent .22 long rifle ammo.Why are they just not making more ammo? WTF?
On a positive note, Remington was able to sell the ammo plant and hopefully it'll be back to full production soon. That won't do anything about the idiot panic buying though.
