Yes indeedy. I went to a gun show on Saturday and saw prices through the roof. I couldn't believe what some were asking for ammo. A friend told me he saw a $100 white box of .22LR. The example that sticks out in my mind was a smith model 36 with box for $800. That little pistol was probably 99% but the price was out of sight. The good news is all those price gougers weren't selling a lot of the high dollar items. Usually while I'm going in I'm watching those folks leaving and what they are carrying. Not a lot had anything other than a plastic bag with things they purchased in them. No long boxes.

I do wonder if much of this is new inventory they picked up at stupid prices or they are trying to take advantage of the community by upping the prices hoping the rest of us will pay. I heard one vendor tell another "I've got to make a profit!" I said loud enough for him to hear, "Not by gouging your brethern!"
