I don't stock for the purpose of reselling either, but I do try to keep a fair amount of ammo on hand. I was able to buy 9mm WWB at $5 about 1 years ago. The lowest I have seen it is around $14 a box now. That is a 180% increase which represents an average gain of 15% a year over the past 12 years (non-compounding of course). Most people would be pretty happy with that.

I had purchased 6 cases of it at that price but I wish I had bought more. Those 6 cases are ancient history and I'm sure I would have gone through 12 cases by now. At that price, I could have easily bought 100 cases and been set for a long while. :-( woulda, shoulda, coulda... But didn't.
