Lynn called WalMart in Milford at 7:00 this morning to see if anything came in. They had one case (5 boxes) of WWB 100 packs.

She asked if they can put it aside for her, ran out of the door and got in the car. She just called. She felt guilty about taking all 5 and leaving the next guy with nothing, so she picked up 3 of the 5 boxes at 29.97/100.

 

I would have taken them all, but she's a lot nicer than I am. I suppose it's good Karma (and good manners).

 

Still no .22LR. This is getting crazy.

I have not seen ammo in a NJ Walmart. I feel cheated somehow.

 

Congratulations

 

I would have taken all 5 boxes as well, funds permitting.

NJ WalMarts don't sell guns or ammo. This was in Milford, PA. I'm in Newton, so it's just a half hour or so to get up there.

Ken,

 

Excellent score. Had I known, I would have paid you a premium to get me the two boxes she left behind...

 

Please be kind and think of your fellow NJGF guys

The guy at the ammo counter told Lynn that they unpack their ammo shipments each morning, and most of the popular stuff is gone by 9. They have no idea what or how much they'll be putting out on any given day, and they get calls every morning from people checking to see what came in. They can't keep 9mm or 45ACP on the shelves past 8 AM. It just sells that fast, no matter how much or what brand they receive.

 

All that volume can't be just end users. I think a lot of it is NJ dealers buying at WM prices and retagging it at NJ retail.

 

She'll be making these calls/trips more often. I'll keep you guys in mind, but I can't say for sure if anything positive will happen. It's very much up to the luck of the draw.

 

I would never take advantage by asking for a premium on the price. We're all in the same boat, and I try not to be that much of a .

I just got a 1000rds delivered yesterday for my .40 and i wish i paid $30 for a 100 rounds.

To me - it's not taking advantage. It's a convenience for me, no shipping, no hassle, KenW does extra work, Dan doesn't, he should get some coin for his trouble...

 

We're not talking about adding 50-100% to a box, just a 'finders fee'. Free Market and all that. And then if I get to meetup with another gunnut, more fun.

many NJ dealers do hide out and drive up to walmarts daily to get ammo. it is cheaper than from their distributors.

I wouldn't and don't blame a dealer or any business man doing that. It makes sense to buy the product as cheap as possible to make the largest profit possible. It justs means you or I need to beat them to the store.

I don't blame them.

 

Buy low and sell high... that's how to make a buck, especially in a temporary buying frenzy. It's just good business.

It just means you or I need to beat them to the store.

Exactly.

That's why most Wal-marts have placed a limit on ammo purchases. Most up here limit from two to six boxes per purchase.

If you are looking for some more .40 cal, dicks in Freehold has some in stock. I THINK its going for $19.99 / 50. Its not round ball, its the flat top stuff (cant think of what its called) :?

Truncated Cone Flat Nose. Some just call it round nose flat point.

First let me say, my hat is off to you, regarding thinking about the other guy who may need the .40S&W. I was on the "raw end" of a similar deal where the guy in front of me just bought it all. Ticked me off....he knew I was waiting for that ammo because we were discussing it while waiting.

 

Second, I know Walley World in Bristol had .40 S&W (10-15 boxes) when I was there last week. Actually all the Walmarts had them last week that I went to. Figures that I have 9MM guns at home...DOH!

It is dirty dirty crap and I would never fire it but the Dick's in Cherry Hill NJ has had Remington UMC .40SW in stock. It has been in stock for MONTHS now. I just wish it would magically transform into 9mm!

 

I have been thinking of getting a glock 27 because everywhere I go I find .40

Why is .40 s&w as expensive as 45 acp?

 

I have a Sig P229 in 40 with no ammo because I'd rather buy 45 at the price than 40.

i was at a walmart in delaware guy at the gun counter was loading his cart with all the handgun and .22 they had did not leave one round....i asked him if he was a big shooter to be needing that kind of quatity of ammo.......he said he was a dealer and he makes more money buying it at walmart and selling it in his place than ordering it in.......
