I have been going all over the Boston area, and have found nearly nothing. It's kinda of nice hearing they are getting a little harder to find. I thought it was just me. Seeing some of these posts saying "look what I got" was really getting me down. LOL.
I'll keep looking.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

There's a whole damn page of them!!!!! People are just simply nuts. You can sell anything and people will buy it. Why am I not a millionaire? :bang:

Wait until they find out the company will be bought out and reopened making their $60 box of chemical laden snacks just about worthless.

MAn the guy could have just bid on the cheaper ones. That is pure craziness. It says the local grocery store is out..cause this joker bought them all. Probly paid for them already with one sale. :roll: :shock:

A friend of mine heard the company might close on Thursday so he went out and bought $150 worth of Twinkies and a few other similar products with the intent of eating them over the coming winter. After what we saw last night I am sure he now has every box listed on Ebay, that was what he was very excited about doing last night anyway.

If I had bought some twinkies, I could sell them and buy more ammo.

:D Racerguy, thanks! :D

Looks like a hacked off wood-job without hacking the barrel. He obviously does not know what happens when he fires it this way....
......a Mosin is NOT a short distance tool. I wonder how and which brain f..t brought this to action?
I just hope there is not a bunch of idiots like this out there, feeding arguments to the Brady's (Shudder)

.....and what is al this BS here about Twinkies? Can we shoot them in a 12 gauge to hit whom? And why?

My stepson called my wife to go to Wally's and buy all of them, promised 200% profit on investment. I told him, show and pass the money and you will be happy. He hung up. What he didn't know, I already checked the availability, as I know one of the Gurus there, not 1 (ONE) TWINKIE availalble since 2 days..... No Gold Rush here.

Now on the run on ammo: Big 5 has .39 and .54r at special prices, Wally still has $4.97 on .39 and is stocked well.
You want surplus, buy now, relax then. Commercial is not gonna run out soon, at moment I think they have bigger fish to fry in DC.

Twinkies, :Drool1: I am not allowed to eat them, and didn't make a habit of it when I could, but I would like to have a little taste again even if I have to spit it out. I used to like the little cream filled cupcakes with the orange frosting. A friend of mine used to bring me one every morning this time of year, and I would have it with my tea. He passed on Saturday , and I will be walking him to the grave in a day or two. We stopped Saturday night at five stores looking for a box of the dam things and there were none to be had, I was going to put one in the casket for him to take with him.

He put up a good fight, he didn't go quietly, thank you, Seems I am getting to the point were I know more people below ground than above it.
