Yeah. Who does that storeowner think he is? Trying to make a living and all. After all, the child slave labor who produce Walmart's stuff are glad to work a 14 hour shift for .75 cents.
When did Remington and Winchester (my two most common ammos) start using child labor at 75 cents an hour?
And as a side note, yes, they are very happy to have 75 cents an hour when the 75 an hour where they are is a lot better then the average.
And trying to make a living doesn't involve charging me a ridicules price that is more then 25% lower at a store roughly 300 yards away. Yes, walmart gets better prices cause they do much higher volume, however, that difference in cost is not proportional to the extra cost on the shelf. It's setting a high price, and I choose to take my buisness elsewhere to a more reasonable price.
The two gun shops I use aren't exactly slow movers either, they have plenty of volume. They are also not strictly gun stores. One is a full sized locally owned sporting goods store that does pretty damn good buisness on the whole. The other is a hardware store that is huge, has a full range of sporting goods as well as tools, household goods, etc. So we aren't talking a little hole in the wall that needs to make an extreme markup on ammo to stay around an pay his bills. We are talking two stores with inflated ammo prices. Profit is good and of course I expect them to make it, but don't insult me with your price at the same time.
