Yes. The local Wally World was completely empty on pistol ammo on Monday. I have not looked since. I'm sitting out all the panic buying.
I did get 1200 rounds of PMC Bronze .223 about 3 weeks ago at a good price, along with 1200 rounds of S&B 9mm. In retrospect, that turned out to be a very wise decision. At least I have enough ammo for my Pat McNamara class in a few months, even if prices stay stupid for a while.
As others have mentioned, I am waiting for the post-Christmas credit card bills to arrive. That's when I go shopping for a nice barely-used deer rifle, in February.

Exactly. A few years back, I picked up a Remington 870 Police Magnum for $250 that way. Blued steel and in great shape. Even the wood was perfect.That's when I buy most of my big-ticket items. Pawn shops are great around February
I'd love to pick up an 18" model with lots of wear this year, just to have a beater shotgun for the range.

Also agree. The sell off after the 2008 Election Panic was a great time to pick up a few items that had been on the list for a while. Here's hoping that we are discussing the flood of reasonably priced ammo, mags and firearms in the market next Christmas.
This is my plan early next year, to switch to gen4 glox during the sell-off. I'm thinking of putting my bushmaster on gunbroker, to fund a twin for my ddm4v1 in a few months...That's when I buy most of my big-ticket items. Pawn shops are great around February

Was walking the dog tonight, and stopped by Cabela's. They did have 9mm ammo in stock, but had a sign that stated no one could buy more than 10 boxes on anything. They did have some cans of .223. Nothing was "scalped", it was regular price, they just would not let you load up a van full.
The used gun racks looked pretty sparse, too. Only one AR there, if you want to call it that. A DPMS Oracle - bee-arf.
Yep... Sell em like its 1939... or something.
Used WASR-10 just went for $1300 on Gunbroker...
I have sold off a couple dozen of those lately on GB. I had 6 of the Steyr ones go for $205 last week. I bought FAL mags at knob creek every time I went for years and still have a pile of them too.
