Advert that I read today,,
Ammunition, 308 Gold Dot 168gr Speer
New,
$39 / pack
REDUCED from $73 to clear.
Now lets be realistic,,,, they would not be selling them out at a loss nor selling them at cost,,,,, so a profit would still be in the sales.
It makes the mind boggle when you think that every single item in the entire shop would likely have very similar markup %%%
Surely a lesser amount of markup % in day to day trading would equate to an increase in over the counter sales, which in turn would generate
a higher turnover rate for the business including attracting new customers ?

Consider these two events.
Lake City has stopped commercial supply of 223 ammunition hence a major reduction of 223 available to the public. As a consequence 223 ammunition is going up in price right when US domestic demand is rising faster than anxiety about world events.
Vista Brands have sold their ammunition manufacturing brands (CCI, Federal, Speer, Remington etc) to a Czech company CSG, owned by a 30 year old Czech billionaire. (hmmmm)
So what do you think will happen in Australia seeing as how we are at the blunt end of the supply chain?
Preppers and hoarders don't seem as crazy as they used to be.
