[QUOTE="Svashtar, post: 1857500, member: 112241"] I have a friend who went crazy for ammo during that time. He stood in line every morning at Walmart and bought his three boxes, then to another WM across town (a super center), then to one 30 miles away. (He was retired and determined to win.) At the end of it all 18 months later he had over 100,000 rounds of .22 LR and 100,000 rounds of 5.56, 9mm, 10mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, ..357 Mag/.38 spl, .308, 7.62x39, etc. He’s been trying to sell me .22LR for less than what he paid for it, but way more than it was going for retail as the supply has been back and the price dropped to normal for some time. He bought a lot privately and paid up to $75 for Winchester 555 packs, way more than the 5 or 6 cents a round they’d been going for. Maybe he’ll get something for it now, but usually these guys buy high and hoard it. BTW, our local Costco implemented a no return policy on hand sanitizer, wipes and TP; so many people panic bought, and now are trying to return the 10 year supply they bought for cash. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in life, but not keeping a good supply of ammo and reloading components on hand isn’t one of them, and I usually do it by just spending a small amount extra each month for a few years.
