On my local forum today:

I have (6) 100 round boxes of Federal Champion I am selling for $100 per 100 round box. This is the same ammo that you can buy at Walmart for $32 per 100 round box. Since you can not find it in walmart anymore except on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, I have decided to let some of my stash go at so that I may help my fellow shooters that do not have time to look for this. If interested, please pm me here. An "i'll take it" will not hold the ammo. The first 6 people with cash money will get this rare and valuable ammo. Thanks for looking

So you are helping out by tripling the price?

No sir. I am helping out by making this available and I am helping myself out by tripiling the prices. That's called honesty in advertising. Please PM if you do not agree with pricing. This is not the place to question it. thanks

1) Would it be appropriate to leave negative feedback about such sellers in the feedback section?
2) Would it be acceptable to PM potential buyers that post in these threads and inform them that they are overpaying and helping to perpetuate the ammo shortage
3) Am I just being a whiny little beatch about the whole thing and should I just shut the hell up and go to the range?
For the record, I am a big fan of a free market but believe the market is being manipulated and that certain members of this group are taking advantage of other members of the same group. I am also a fan of the saying " we all need to stick together" and "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
