I personally know 7 people who became new shooters during this thing and a few more that are not new shooters but were always buy 1 shoot 1 types. They all have disposable income and deep pockets. As much ham as I buy from TSUA or wherever else they will take. And usually throw me a couple of extra dollars for. They don't care what I paid in January of 2020. they just know the prices I come across are significantly cheaper than what they come across unless they throw elbows at bass pro in the morning. You are going to be waiting a long time for any sort of relief on prices. Maybe in a year or two if things don't get worse you see 35 cpr for 9. But I'm not sure what would inspire confidence in that right now.Yes I can. I'm sitting on architectural plans to redo the kitchen because the prices are too high. This also is a false equivalency as while I'm paying cash, most people use debt to finance home improvements & thus much of this is driven by rock bottom interest rates. Also, I wouldn't pay for a Peloton if it was temporarily marked up either.
Thanks for confirming my point.
Nonsense, this is always cyclical & either supply permanently increases to a new baseline or demand returns down to a normal level, or both happen. These prices are not permanent & to think so defies logic. The bozos & price gougers buying every single round they can are driving much of this.
In my humble opinion the massive stimulus packages have caused irreparable damage to the dollar. You can see inflated prices everywhere, even haircuts and pizza. I'd rather you be right and have it turn out that I've over paid for ammo, but if 3 years from now I look back and turns out I over paid a bit I wont really care. I'll shoot it all with a smile on my face.
