There's gotta be some people with large stockpiles who could make some money right now if they were willing to sell some. of course, those kind of people are the people who are wanting to buy MORE right now, not less.....

Private-party sales of ammunition are perfectly legal, just ensure that you meet the requirements of the state in which the buyer resides.
For example, if you sell to me in Illinois, you are supposed to ensure that I have a valid FOID card.
Certain kinds of ammunition also have age restrictions in certain states. For example, in Illinois, one cannot purchase ammunition for a handgun unless they are 21 years of age. I love telling the clerks at Wal-Mart that I am purchasing 9mm for a rifle.

As an aside, different stores in Illinois have different policies regarding the purchase of ammunition. If I go to the local Farm & Fleet, I can purchase ammo at any register as long as I show the clerk my FOID card.
At Wal-Mart, I have to purchase all ammo at the sporting-goods counter only, and the clerk who sells it to me must also have a FOID card. This means that I must have a clerk paged almost every time I buy ammo there. They also ask me when I purchase .22LR if it is for a rifle or handgun. I always reply that I am 21 and it doesn't matter. They also key in my FOID card number with each purchase.
