Ammo as an investment

[btnh6668]

If the OP sells the ammo and makes $5000 profit he should sell now take his profit invest in a CD hopefully at 4.5 or 5% and he will make more money than if he holds the ammo for 5 more years taking up locked storage space and the hassle of selling the ammo will be be in the past…. I’m not an investment advisor but pretend I am on nes

Or wait for the next panic and double that. Wait till it comes back down, buy more and repeat. I don't think anyone is saying ammo should be the only investment. If they are that would be bad advice to have only one investment on anything.

Ammo really isn't an investment...

Unless you have investment grade Winchester Lake City XM193 5.56.

It'll take years for the price to move and it'll be hard to sell when the time comes.

Kind of like buying silver.

Price doesn't move anywhere up for a decade but it feels good to own it.

I wish I owned lots of ammo.

Imagine staring at stacks of brand new USGI ammo cans filled with your favorite ammo in fresh boxes inside.

That would make me feel wonderful even if the price wont go up for years.

There was that one guy who I know who made 10 trips to Walmart to take his ammo home. He bought out three stores when the ammo when on clearance and paid 10 cents on the dollar. 5.56 Winchester for 15 cents a round. Walmart sold all the good stuff on clearance and this guy bought it all. Probably still in his basement. That guy was smart but it was a once in a lifetime wind fall.

Really? During covid I sold armscore .223 ammo at 4 times the price. Sold a ton of basic fmj 9mm like crazy. During panic times the unprepared care about quantity not quality. I am more than happy to take advantage of people being unprepared and willing to spend stupid money.

And don’t forget you need a special license to sell ammunition in MA.
