[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 2299282, member: 113268"] Big box stores don't seem to jack up their prices. If you think they are, its probably because they are paying more for it so they have to mark it up. They have a standard markup and they won't change it regardless. I imagine LGS is that way. When Academy Sports has ammo on the shelves, its at reasonable prices. I have bought a bunch of 9mm at pre-pandemic prices in the last month. Walmart doesn't gouge either when they have something on the shelves. Its their standard markup. Some places just naturally gouge. I know its not premium ammo but take remington corelokt for instance. A box of 270 win can range anywhere from $18 to $45 a box depending on who you get it from and thats pre-pandemic. Some businesses have a standard markup of 100% so if they are paying $50 a brick for primers, they are going to ask $100 and some won't hesitate to mark it up more. There used to be a sporting goods store a long time ago that I used to go to. They had a really nice fishing rod for $40 (long time ago) on the rack. I was going to buy it but they were having a big 50% off tent sale the next week and I decided to wait to see if it would be on sale. I came back the next week and sure enough, it was on sale in the tent and it was listed at $80 and on sale for 50% off. They don't exist anymore. [/QUOTE]
