So I was using gunbot.net to score some decent purchases in .38 and .357 over the weekend. But 9mm was a miss all day Saturday and Sunday. So today I pulled up the page in 9mm, filtered on "View in-stock only" and checked out the prices. Suddenly the page updated and some seller (I forget - PSA maybe?) had 9mm FMJ 124 gr in at about 16 bucks a box. Well less than half of what the next cheapest seller had in stock! I went to seller's page and it stated 72 in stock, and the limit was 20 boxes. I filled in 20 in the inventory, then I thought, "Nah. I've dropped a boatload on ammo, and this 9mm is still a bit high over pre-panic, and I'm in a revolver state of mind as of late." So I left the page. Then about a minute later I thought "Heck, even with shipping it's not THAT bad." I went back to the site and the inventory was down to 10! This was less than three minutes! Within another minute they had sold out (and I didn't buy any).
It was kind of cool, actually. A virtual feeding frenzy going on for 9mm and .22LR out there.
