Resale ammo prices!?!?

[RVTECH]

I made an offer on some reloads listed in the NWFA classifieds recently

Other than if your offer was for pennies on the dollar why would you 'buy' reloads IF you already reload? - unless for the components.

I have picked up reloads for cheaper than the components sell for individually and the work has already been done.

The first ammo I ever purchased was 200 9mm re-loads.
They were total dog poop. Some of them sounded like a toy cap gun.

Reloading is 'work' ?

If you consider reloading 'work' then you might be doing it for the wrong reasons...

I'll admit that some days reloading is work but owning an ammo business it is what I do. I just remember that I run the business not the other way around. I still enjoy shooting and testing new loads so I try to get out at least once a week and do some of that. The other thing is my time is my time. If I don't want to start pulling the handle until 10 am and stop at noon so I can take the dog for a walk so be it. If I'm bored and my wifes got her nose in the TV or whatever I might do another hour or so in the evening.

Never, ever, buy reloads unless you
want to spend the time breaking down
the ammo.

I don't even give my best friends my reloads.

It's also illegal to sell if you don't have an FFL.

I'm a little more careful with the AFT, they'll shoot your dog.

None of my hillbilly neighbors ever put their dogs away. I have Soviet buffer state dogs in layers around me

So, if I have reloads, that say I didn't reload, but bought from someone here and I sell them to someone else, that's illegal?

That's better than some of them sounding like grenades.

If you are selling them for the purpose of your livelihood and profit, then yes.

If these were intended for personal use, then no.

Either way, it's against NWFA rules to list them in the NWFA classifieds, even as components.

I have bought a bunch of reloads and have had good luck with firing them so far. One of these days my luck could run out.

Just curious, so whats up with the resale ammo prices on the classifieds? Members are asking full price for their ammo and that requires someone to reach out and set a meet-up which entails multiple messages back and forth and fuel cost to go meet. All that to save maby 5$ on the overall cost?!? I'd rather go to a store that has it in stock ( # COVIDISOVER ammo is everywhere) and pay full price (+5$ most of the time) than messaging someone and dealing with a meet up. Saving 5-10$ isn't worth the hassle and the stuff is on the shelf literally everywhere. Benefits of buying resale for cost?

I wonder if'n he meant "MunchIn TacoS" ......

Unless he's a taco hoarder, then that would make sense.

Most people won't buy or shoot reloads from an unknown source.

I bought a box of reloads once, at a GS from a dealer, but it was out of necessity as I had just 'got back' into 1911s and had bought one at the show and wanted to stop and shoot it on my way home; as well as to have some brass to start loading with.

I recall having a couple chambering problems, including one FTE but I attribute this to the gun being NIB, not yet disassembled and cleaned.

Sad that you don't trust your process enough to let your friends shoot your ammo. Whenever we go shooting my friends are happy to shoot up all my ammo.

The only squib round I've had was some reloads I bought at a gun show.
Having said that I had some .44 mag reloads for sale at our last gun show and no one wanted it.
