According to him he was clearing $20 @ $379 on the rebate winchester 5.56 in august so it meant it was costing him $359 shipped. So after refunding the people who bought at $580 to the newer price of $500 he is still clearing $140 a case. (ofcourse decreased volume will cut into profits)
On the flip side he probably will lose some money on cases in the future since he is going to have to buy his next pallets at inflated prices from the MFG's and as prices drop he will still be sitting on some of it.
So yea he is making a killing, but that is the game, everyone else is doing it too. Anyone(us included) is free to go with a more honest business model, but will that succeed?
