Bt Doctur 188 Posted February 25, 2014 For those of us checking web sites and auction sites for some .22 ammo and finding ridiculous pricing and thinking this is normal pricing ,guess again. It`s gouging .If a seller clains that his high price is legit from factory increases ,he lying. I wrote to Remington in this email "Being assigned the task of pricing can you confirm that the current price of your Bucket of Bullets is still approximately $63.00 and is still currently in production" Even asked if they could bug a shipment to actually see it it made the stores, no answer on that yet but they did respond to my pricing question. Ed, The current MSRP is $68.72 and they are in production.Thank you and best regards, Remington Customer Services That price coinsides with the current prices at Midway even though it shows out of stock. So if your a bidder, check Midway price and bid accordingly to current MSRP not the gougers price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Babyface Finster 45 Posted February 25, 2014 Considering that retailers are selling every round they can get their hands on, it sounds like the market has spoken. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newtonian 453 Posted February 25, 2014 It's called a free market. "Gougers" go to the trouble of driving to WalMart, Dick's, and other shops to pick up their daily limit. The nearest shop to me is Stroudsburg, which is 30 miles away. That's two-plus gallons of gas and 90 minutes of my time -- more if I look around the store, which I always do. It's definitely worth a 25-30% markup, say for .22lr, to be able to get all I want. Even if it were not technically "worth it," these people are doing what every business does.

average joe 5 Posted February 26, 2014 I started shooting a .22 air rifle, almost as good, but lots cheaper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
