All the rest they have are from $12.95 for 50 and up.
Unbelievable, but true here as well...

guns in that last estate sale and almost all of them sold on Saturday. We had folks in from southern California, southern Utah, Phoenix and all over looking for anything and would settle for anything that shoots. One lady bought 3 handguns. One fellow bought 3 handguns and at least one rifle, maybe 2. He had to fill out 2 4473 forms to buy them. And it was like that all day. This morning we have maybe 3 handguns in the showcase, and 5 or 6 long guns.
Our 9mm sold for $29 for 50, 45 ACP was the same price or maybe a dollar or two more and I think we sold out of both. That was half of what one of the other shops here in town was selling reloads for. Due to liability we don't sell any reloads.
Several of the folks from Phoenix said there were no guns left in Phoenix and the shops that had 9mm were selling it for anywhere from $85 to $125 a box of 50 FMJ.
We sold a ton of 223/5.56 at $16 a box for the good Winchester stuff.
It's nuts and I see no end in sight.
Guys still sandwich bagging (50) loose for $7

It's probably illegal to do that but it seems commonplace and no one is complaining yet.
there is nothing illegal about it. When the 22 LR

shortage hit a few years back we were able to buy some in bulk (the large Remington buckets) and we parceled them out 50 at a time in baggies. It made no sense to sell the buckets to one person when we could put 50 at a time and help a lot of folks.
We got a couple of 1000 round bulk boxes of Winchester 223/5.56 and did the same with it. Put 50 rounds in baggies and sold it that way. Nobody complained and were just happy to get any ammo. We are not doing it right now but did it a couple of months ago.
They were doing it to .45 ACP too, (15 - $20, 230 Ball)
