    Wow, we could buy about 5 mins with a politician with that amount of money!

    Wondering how well group buys historically work out. I ordered in a pallet of AK ammo and funded it myself thinking it would sell overnight... but the logistics of moving and selling it definitely were more than I had accounted for. Would have probably been a better idea to pre-sell it with a pickup arrangement. LOL.

    So much drama lately in this "hobby".

    exactly, I wasn't bitching, just realizing how much money we all have tied up out there.

    I knew what I was in for. You can't honestly tell me, after Sandy Hook happened and the panic started that these orders would just magically fall from the heavens.

    I know there is this..., and I know there is that....., But is there any other ammo available right now in the quantities and prices these GB's have offered? I ain't seen nun!

    I'm confident my ammo will come. And I didn't look at it as an investment. I looked at it as buying ammo. If I find a deal on the shelf, I buy it.
    This. A lot of folks have [from appearance] never dealt with body shops or gun smith. Yeah sure it will be ready in 3 weeks. This time next year, maybe

    I know cars that sat 4-5 years before they were "rescued" back. Last engine that I needed machining on. "Be done in 2 weeks" took 8 months.......

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    Especially when your gunsmith has to go on injured reserve.

    I have done plenty of group buys with people at private ranges and never had a problem. I also have never had one come through quicker then i wanted. I think the quickest was reclaimed shot that was already sitting on pallets in another state, it took 2.5 months. I am sorry to see this section go because we all could have managed some great deals post panic. C'est la vie but it is still a loss.

    It is sad to see it go, maybe they could bring it back later. It is nice to be able to use a groups buying power to get better deals.
