As annoying as that kind of behavior is, not to mention somewhat illegal, it is pretty smart and I like to see people trying to make a dollar instead of sitting on their asses. It's not really any different then if you owned a shop selling ammo. I am a salesman/businessman thru and thru so that is probably why I can appreciate what they are doing. As mentioned by others the government is the biggest cause for the sky high prices.
