.22 Opportunist

There's a group of individuals in the U.S. who for a couple of years now have been going from store to store on a daily basis buying up all the .22 shells. They're doing this at places like Walmart, Academy, Cabela's etc. They've figured out when the ammo shipments arrive and when the product will be put on the shelf. They'll then hang around the ammo case like a flock of vultures until the product is put on the shelf and bingo bongo, there go all the .22 shells! These clowns then turn around and put their newly acquired merchandise on various internet websites like Craigslist, Ebay and so on, at ridiculous markups (ridiculous in my opinion). I'm a believer in the free enterprise system, so I of course don't have a problem with someone making a profit. But pricing something at 8 or 10 times the cost seems over the top in my way of thinking. However, if people are naive enough the pay the price, I guess there's nothing to complain about.
Human beings are greedy by nature I suppose and nature must be saying "Git all ya' kin git while ya kin git it!". And that's just what these clowns are doing. I'll keep you posted....
