The prices people pay

[vintage hunter]

Was in a local hardware store this a.m. for a few supplies and noticed they had a good supply of .22's on the shelf. The prices were unbelievable, $12 for a 50rd box and $125 for a 550rd brick. I've known the salesman there all my life so I made the comment that it probably wouldn't sell at that price but was surprised to hear him say that it moving pretty fast and what was on the shelf is what's left of a shipment that come in on Monday. As usual I thought of something else I needed after making it back to the truck, made it back in the store just in time to see a guy going out the front way with a brick in hand. Salesman said the guy was from a town 2 counties away and had been all over in search of .22lr ammo and was happy to have finally found some.
