.22 Remington pricing on "Bucket of Bullets

[Bt Doctur 188]

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,

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.

_{Considering that retailers are selling every round they can get their hands on, it sounds like the market has spoken.}

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.

I started shooting a .22 air rifle,  almost as good,  but lots cheaper.
