I live in the country between a metro area and the boonies. I travel a lot for work and preaching, and am able to hit several Walmarts in NW Missouri. I have actually picked up a bunch of caps this fall, getting a few tins each time I see them, but never taking them all. I don't really need any, but am not going to pass on $5.62 caps (regular price) nor $5 clearance deals. I often give a tin or two away, especially to kids who are just getting started. Just gave away one of my Traditions Deer Hunter rifles, some cast .490 balls, two jugs of Pyro, and 300 caps to a young fella for Christmas. I'm taking him deer hunting during our late "Alternative Season" after Christmas, and he was super stoked to have his own rifle and stuff to shoot it with. It chaps my hide to see these jackals lurking in the stores, waiting for product to be put out, so they can buy the entire lot and sell it online or at the gun show for literally 10x what they paid for it.
Some shops want $28 a tin!! Someone here a while back was citing supply and demand the reason for the high prices. I said no way but just pure greed otherwise Walmart wouldn’t sell them at a loss. Like I have always said, simply pure greed.If Walmart can continuously sell caps for 5.62 and you know they are making profit then all the others that sell for 15.99 16.99 should definitely be put on the Gouger List! In a relative way they are no better than the crooks selling on Gunbroker etc. Just saying!!
