Yes. They have been increased to fair market value but this change was made a couple weeks ago. It's not right of me to undercut the other fields and Event Hosts that I supply ammo to by being cheaper than what they sell at. The prices listed is what was agreed upon to set according to market trend locally and via internet.

.20g went up $2 to $17 per bag and .25g went up $3 to $18 per bag but I also supply 4K bags instead of the 3K I used to supply. I am still cheaper after shipping via internet and the same price locally unless you figure different brand prices and cost of gas and time to purchase then I am cheaper. Besides buy 2 bags and they are $15ea, I don't see anyone offering discounts on 2 bags of ammo.

Also starting with the first event I host next year, I will no longer be selling ammo at my events. There will be a independant vendor that I have made arrangements with that will be supplying it and this will be the prices with them. The profit I make is not really worth the hassle when I have 800 other things going on at my events and I really need to focus on the event. I mostly started selling ammo as a convenience to the players and back then I had 100 player turnouts. Now with 200, 250+, I need to set my focus in other areas.

I know this is probally much more info than you were expecting but I guess I felt like giving more of an explanation behind it than just saying "yeah they did"

First, I'll take 20 bags of the .25 since they're only $3 a bag. See how improper use of the English language can mess things up?

Second, I think you farming out your ammo sales is an excellent idea. Very smart having someone else handle the retail stuff the day of an event.

I'm definitely in for FW. Put me down for Bemba, but I can go wherever they need people on game day.

I am closing registration to this on 8/16/11 @ 5PM

nobody else will be able to sign up for just this event unless you play the whole weekend.

So if you just want to show up on sunday only and play, speak up here.

here are photos of the field

some new, some old. New ones are where you can tell the ground is dry.

New buildings went up this past weekend by the church and somalia. The new buildings are a FDE color.
