Quoted: I dont have an AK so it can be $100 a round if he wants. Its his ammo and his business. Im just calling it what it is.  How is it price gouging? Explain how people are forced to buy it at higher than what you say it should be priced at. I have 2 cases of 7.62x39 that I paid $25 a case for many years ago from a friendly ffl that was going out of business. If I sold those case for$35 in your eye I am price gouging. Bernie Sanders thanks you for your support. You should go take an economics or business class in school. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Anyone who says price gouge about any product at any time in any place is a faggot of the utmost proportions. So I take it you get the Cheaper Than Dirt catalog? I do not. I shop at a variety of places for a variety of different reasons. I just am not under the delusion that WhiskersTheCat is the market and they should do what I want. Instead I have the novel idea where business owners do what's best for them, and I determine what's best for me and then I don't bitch about places I don't buy from online. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I never saw the inventory shenanigans but CTD is infamous for their negative savings right after the '08 election. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/125478/ctdnegativesavings_jpg-2289684.JPG Exactly. It was not as flatly egregious as CTD, but it upset a lot of people on AkFiles, myself included. I put away 50,000 rounds of 7.62 x 39 before the 2016 election. I bought 15 cases at a time from Akron Reserve Ammunition and 5-10 at a time from Sam. Since then I'll occasionally top up with 3-5 cases from various groups. I did buy from SG to get a tin of 7.62 x38 nagant just after the election, but the common calibers can be had from many other stores now. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I got no problem with him adjusting prices to match the market, but I hate how he won’t sell certain calibers to my zip code in Texas. WTF Yeah. Big wtf. Won’t sell any 7.62 or .50bmg to south Texas, not even Corpus. He told me he’s been investigated by the feds too many times in reference to ammo ending up in Mexico. Can’t say that I blame him for not selling to new customers, but I’ve been buying from him since the beginning. |

I can see both arguments. I stopped buying from SGA because he was charging sales tax before it was required, the panicky and whiney emails back in the day, and his current prices are some of the highest. I doubt I will ever buy anything from SGA again.
Like emails in the past, this is bad optics for him, he should have just quietly pulled his Russian ammo and kept his mouth shut, he doesn’t seem to be able to keep his mouth shut. That is his only mistake here. |

Fuck SG Ammo, that greedy fuck can sit on his overpriced steel case. I used to buy almost exclusively from him until his shenanigans during the riots/Covid bullshit.

Don't buy it
Ak ammo is not done and we knew it was done from Russia soon enough anyway. People already stopped panic buying steel case (besides me ) and it came down. PSA gets most of my money anyway and they have a lot invested in russian calibers so let him get what he can. |

Why are you so emotionally invested in a business transaction? If you can buy it for less somewhere else, do it. You won, he just lost the sale. SGAmmo is not friends with anyone here, they exist to sell ammo, maximize their profits and maintain/grow their business. |
