What do you feel is a fair..............................

[1990Turbo]

price for a brick of .22lr from a private party? Im sick of seeing Thunderbolts going for 40 bucks plus. Those were almost the cheapest rounds you could buy at one time. Yes i know .22 is hard to come by right now and yes i will pay a bit more for it but not that dang much. I feel private party 25 a brick is a fair deal. Its funny i see some guys on like armlist have it for 30 then a few ads down another is trying for 50 hummmmmm what one am i gonna buy. I think its funny how these things are priced and a bit sick of seeing it way over priced. Im not trying to get people to drop their prices so i can buy it I have enough right now to get me by for a bit just wondering what other people feel about the prices and such and what we all feel .22lr should be right now.

Fair? Whatever the market will bear.

If people aren't buying, the price will drop.

It's not about what's fair.

I sold a box of federal 525 to a friend the other day for $18

Ya i guess i should have not asked what a fair price is but more what we feel would be a decent price and what we feel like even with hard to find ammo what would we pay for it. I didnt mean to sound like a kid on the playground yelling "thats not fair!" Just wanting to have some discussion this morning.

Fair is whatever they can get for it. Don't like their price? Don't buy it. Simple.

Hi Turbo,

I was able to score a 525 box the other day for $22 at my LGS.. I was happy with that.

Whatever you'll pay is fair.

I still wish I had seen this shortage coming.

Rem 40gr 500/box $80-90
Find it cheaper, buy it!

The most I would pay is $25-$30 per 500 rd. brick, if and only if it was not that far of a drive for me to buy them.

I think our problem is going to be some will pay the higher prices and all ammo will continue to rise faster than inflation.
I mean if you are one of the many new shooters out there and you really want to shoot that new gun,you are going to pay what it takes to get ammo. Some jackhat at the shows is trying to sell bricks for $65 still and the 325 boxes for $30.I used to think he was an OK guy too.

For me around $20 for 500 is what I buy it at.But where do you find bricks any more?

Was lucky enough to walk into Wal-Mart the other week and found Federal 525 round boxes for $24.97 per. Not including the tax. If I were to sell any I know that it definitely would not be for less than what I paid for it. With gas at $4 per gallon I wouldn't drive a mile to meet someone to sell them a box for $30. Think about the cost of everything involved and then ask yourself what a fair price is. I believe the days of $20 bricks are gone.....

Sportsman's Warehouse in Bend regularly has bricks on the shelf (no lines) - $23.99 for a 500 round brick of green box Remington.

You guys have it made, paying 6 cents or even less/ round.
Here in az 10 to 12 cents is common, if you are lucky enough to see any 22lr at all.

Prices like those and I'll have to quit shooting.

FWIW, I paid $24 for a brick (500 rds) of Winchester Dynapoint at Bi-Mart last week.

I had a guy try to trade me a brick of .22 for a pair of aluminum bed rails (for which I was asking $40) a few weeks ago. I told him to pack sand; he paid me $40 cash in the end.

Thank you for the info. I was not aware what the current retail for .22lr was, being I have not seen 500 rd. bricks in a store in quite sometime.

Fair is whatever you are happy paying.
Fair to the gouger is whatever you are stupid enough to pay him...

Want fair? Wait for Obummer to send you a brick.

Depends on how bad you NEED it and how bad you WANT to go shooting. If you have to go shooting i'd say $40 is "fair", but only in the sense that you get a lot of shooting from a 500rd brick of .22lr.

Me I'd wait and stop into Bi-mart daily until you can pick up $18 bricks of .22lr, but if your time is money then paying some "businessman" more is worth it.
