To sell or Hang onto?

[wcd]

Over the course of a few years I have acculturated a few boxes here and there as a result of not paying attention to purchases from Walmart. Additionally I have left the 380 platform behind. Kind of pointless for me to keep a lower capacity 380 since I picked up P365.

So long story short I have some 40, 32 auto and a boat load of 380.

Sell or hang onto?

You might run into a friend that's new to shooting and can't find ammo.
Or go shooting with a friend and want to try his gun.

What are the current prices of .380? I havent purchased it in a while. Id hang onto it, that round likes to disappear every once and a while and people will give you a kidney for it.

I bought my daughter a Bodyguard .380 after she got her own apartment, she has been a shooter since she was 7yrs old so I let her choose the pistol and caliber. I had no clue that .380 is non existent. If you will never (or won't anytime soon) get another .380 I would sell it or at least trade it for a caliber that you have or plan on getting so you have ammo that is usable to you. Just my 2 cents.

I am not sure of current pricing? The ones I have are marked $16.99 a box.

I was thinking if I did sell it maybe $20.00 a box I don‘t want to gouge anyone. But then again who knows there might be a 380 out there that catches my eye at some point.

I would keep it’s already paid for not hurting anything.

You know how many times I just stashed ammo when I no longer shoot the same caliber gun, and years down the road, go “oh sweet” because I have that caliber again?

I'd hang on to it unless the funds need help. I always have space for .32. I have a WWII Walther that is super fun to shoot.

I have 8mm Lebel in ammo cans with the same quandary. Here I sit.

Yeah who knows if and when things will even resemble normal any time soon.

Go to the classified section here and trade it for something you can use

If I had a LOT of 380 I would probably sell some.. Everyone has their "take" on gouging but realistically it's a commodity just like Silver or Gold at the moment. FYI just checking on GB it's going for at least$1 a round in case lots.
On second thought I may sell a few boxes of what I have.

+1. This is the time to sell firearm related stuff. You can make money most likely. At the very least you should be able to break even.

I sell stuff here occasionally that causes my message box to blow up with offers because I list a reasonable price when online retailers are selling at "opportunistic" prices, lol.

There have not been many times that I have successfully timed the market, just look at my stock portfolio but I timed it well when I sold my garage gym during Covid and a few items I wanted to move here.

If you get another .380 down the road, you can buy ammo then.

Stopped in at my local Pawn/ Gun store today I may let some go as apparently it’s like a unicorn around here. Still would feel funny about selling it for more than what I paid for it. I am thinking $20.00 a box of 50 again I don’t want to gouge anyone.

Just my opinion, but market pricing is not "gouging" anyone. Supply and demand drive prices. You are not coercing people into purchasing from you. You are merely offering a product at a price. They can take it or leave it. If you want to help someone, preferably someone you know, then my all means give them the "brother-in-law" price. But beware, if you just post it for sale at a much lower price than the current market, the buyer will most likely turn around sell it for a tidy profit.

Why not take that profit yourself?

I've seen a whole ton of 380 on gunbroker (whether a 20rd box or 1000rd case) where the seller lists it for a penny but people insist on paying over $1 per round...

Keep it and use it as an excuse to pick up a Beretta 84 or 85
