Taking advantage or just offering for sale?

[Melensdad]

I'm sitting on some excess MagPul Pmags. 30 round. Black. Non-Window.

I bought them for future use. I purchased them BEFORE the prices went up. But now I see them for sale for $20 to $25 each + shipping. At those prices I could make a tidy profit of roughly $10+ per magazine.​

I'm also sitting on a cache of mil-spec magazines. 30 round. Grey Teflon. Enhanced followers.

Again, purchased for future use. Purchased BEFORE the Obama panic at prices that are roughly 1/2 the current going rate.​

Should I sell or should I hold?

I am NOT offering them for sale. I'm simply wondering if it is ethical to sell them now for a profit or if I will simply be taking advantage of other people's panic?

Well, what you should do, in order to keep from taking advantage of anyone, is send me 3 or 4 of the black mags gratis! Then you'd have a warm, fuzzy feeling about yourself! I just left the Del-Ton site where I'm fixin' to order a rifle kit and wondering if I should order mags from them or not. No telling when I'll get either one. Del-Ton offers the 30 round Magpul mags for $14.95, but state that there is an 8-16 week wait for any orders.
Seriously, I don't figure you'd be gouging anyone by selling them. The folks you'd be selling to would mostly be thrilled to be able to pick up mags at those prices without a 4 month wait. If you decide to sell, let me know.

holding on means you won't be spending the $$ in the future. if you have a buyer now, who is willing to pay current rates, then it's not immoral to do so.
