The Official 2013 Panic "Walk of Shame" Thread

$30 for a pack of 22LR? That's cheap by today's standards!

Brick of eley sport-$40. Only cause i had new smith 22aa i wanted to shoot

I wish I had the opportunity to pay $29.99 for a 525 round brick of .22LR!

$0.10 each for 1k once fired LC empty .223 brass. Thats about twice what I should have paid.
$600 for an sks-m paratrooper. Thats not so bad as it is a rarer version that was built to take ak mags
$265 for 1k 7.62x39 ammo.
$4.70 each for 100 packs cci smp primers....bought 12 or so 2 at a time, lgs limited.

$52 for 1000 Small Rifle Primers.

$90 for a brick of .22lr

6 bucks a box of 12 gauge shotgun shells this last weekend, but I wanted to shoot, and not diminish my 'hoard'. I bought 2.

$100 for $100 rounds of .223

$17.99 two days ago for a fifty-count box of the "White Box" Federal 115-grain 9x19mm FMJ stuff. At the same time, I also bought a 40-count box of "American-something (Eagle?)" .22LR, at $3.99. That would have placed it at ten bucks for one hundred at that rate.

I participated in the magpul CO airlift to the tune of $200. Does that count?

Drove 60 miles round trip to trade some primers small for large?

I confess, I gave my son a brick of 22 LR to sell to his friend for a whole $20.

35 bucks for 100 rd box of Winchester target 9mm.

EDIT: sorry, no shame here

$840+$35 (sh)+$60 (FFL) for a "used" H&K P30 v3 9mm AK date code.
to be fair the "used" is 100 rounds through the gun.

are we counting all overpriced purchases, or those that you could have waited for and gotten cheaper but thought you "had to have"?
If you have since shot it or put it to use, imo a "walk of shame" isnt really appropriate.....life happens, if you needed it and used it.....but if it was "just in case", or "might not be available later" and now you are cringing, watching prices drop, looking at your as yet unused goods sitting on the shelf with those crazy prices listed on the tags....flame on, lol


boy I tell you what, not the best market to be coming into flush with income tax return money.....Its tempting to overpay when you have the ability, but in 6 months the used market will be much more in my favor

Wife bought me $60/100 .223, discovered they were reloads.
50 round box of 115gr Magtech 9mm for $16.95
2 100 round packs of Remington golden .22lr for $6.99 each.

I haven't been buying much, or shooting much. Shotgun shells are still pretty reasonably priced, so I'm thinking if picking up another shotgun.

$115 for 2 45 rd. Bulgarian AK74 mags.Really the first 45 rd mags I've seen for sale.I bought 'em at the Richmond Va gun show.I've been looking for some for years.

5 x 20 rd. .308 MagPul mags ($215) for the brand new S&W M&P 10 ($1650)....now or never 'panic' buying.

Good thing i already had plenty of .308 ammo for the Remington 700... buying that amount these days would have bankrupted me.

$45 for a box of 525 .22lr is about the worse price I paid. It was the only ammo I can't reload.

The last ammo that I bought was about 2 months ago right before the shelves went bare, but a good month into the panic - a box of 50 Blazer Brass .45ACP for $25. It can usually be found on sale for $19 around here when panic isn't hitting. I felt a little silly and went home and reloaded 50 rounds of .45 ACP to make myself feel better.

I also bought a Glock 20 magazine when I finally found one online. I think I paid $40 plus shipping. That hurt.

Everything else gun-related that I've purchased since the panic started has been parts and accessories that have not been affected by price gouging.

Check Armslist TN tonight. The same thing-or worse.

There seem to be many more sellers than buyers. Apparently most of those sellers underestimate the potential buyers' intelligence,
or overestimate their desperation.

23.99$ for a box of 50rnd american eagle .40 180gr FMJ. it was the last box of .40 in all of town and I had just gotten my tax return and was getting my wife a mag pouch and wanted something for me. Silly me I thought when I got home.

So you"re the ones who have been driving this irrational market!

My shame comes from the other direction.

I sold 1650 rounds of Federal Bulk Pack 36gr HP's for $328 delivered on GB. Couldn't believe it went for that much.
