You don't get to buy other retail things at wholesale, why should PM's be different: the dealers have lights to keep on and space to rent, if they sell it to you at $20, and buy it back from you at $20, how are they supposed to keep the store open?

If you bought a case (5,000rds) of .22 ammo in January of 2012 for $200, you couldn't sell it back to the vendor the next day for $200. However, if you saved that case until January of 2013, you could have very easily sold it for $600. Now, would buying a case for $200 that I couldn't flip the next day for $200 be a scam? or would waiting 12 months and flipping it for 3X what I paid simply be construed as gouging?
