To get around any legal questions, find an old t-shirt or something of little value you don’t mind parting with. Start an online auction for it and mention you’ll throw in whatever Ammo you have as a free gift to the winning bidder. Problem solved without selling it.

Would be a good idea if we have one in the area this summer. If your on gunbroker just click on ammunition or type in ammo for sale lot of sales on there request payment in money order or certified check

Talked to my local gun shop today and he shed a little light on the shortages. After the election there were approximately 3 million FIRST TIME buyers between Nov-Jan. Swearing in day in Jan yielded a new record number of calls in a single day for gun purchases to NICS by 325,000. So figure if all those new gun purchases also purchased just 2 boxes of ammo, then there’s 6 million boxes of ammo gone off the shelves, not to mention most hunting seasons opened before that time so manufacturers had already sold a bulk of their ammo. He suspects by Summer things should start becoming available again.

I don't think you can put it on new gun owners for the shortage. Mainly, it's people trying to make a buck. They'll buy whatever there is on the shelf if they are allowed to and right to the auction site to watch them double or triple their money. If there's no limits people simply just buy them out as soon as they are on the shelf. If people keep paying those prices it'll continue to happen. I can't see ammo becoming any cheaper any time soon. Patience has been the key for me. There's still ways to get what you need and not break the bank.
I was in a Cabelas in the last month that was selling 69 g Matchking HPBT for a little over a buck a round at $25 for 20. I thought that was outrageous. Went to a local gun store closer and have looked on auction websites and there's bids for them up to $40-45 for 20 rounds. Could have doubled my money on the five boxes I passed on if I needed a little cash.

That’s what the ammo makers blame it on but I think it’s both the new folks and the gougers combined adding to it.

Talk to a guy last nigh said he was in Wal-mart and there was a person that want to by all the 22 ammo but could only get two boxes. He was PO'ed because he buys them and takes them to another that put them on the web to sell. He get paid up front.

Just have sold several guns in past years and no longer needing the ammo for them. Never saw ammo sold on gunbroker or other sites. Thought about selling it off to buy ammo I could use or for buying another gun that I would use. I know a guy cant have to many guns just don't use some like I do others. Now a days it's easier to buy a gun for the ammo you have, than to buy ammo for a gun you have. So, buy a gun!
