I noticed that Samco has dropped its price from $500 to $350 per k on the surplus Port. : http://www.samcoglobal.com/Ammo-nato.html 

I hope the prices will be coming down further in the near future........
- but if you need ammo this is the best price I have seen in a long time.

Shipping is upwards of $60 to the midwest. 
What brings together men liberated from local and national limitations is also what keeps them apart. What pushes for greater rationality is also what nourishes the irrationality of hierarchical exploitation and repression.  What creates society's abstract power also creates its concrete unfreedom.

I see the beginnings of an Appleseed supply chain.  If anyone in florida can pick some up and move them to neighboring states and pass it on?  Eventually it will end up in the mid west, right?

Yeah, but it might get "taxed" along the way.   :~

I'd rather keep the taxes 'in the family' than not

Oh man, I just bought a case a couple weeks ago at the gun show when it was $500!  I guess I'll have to buy more to partially offset the cost!
"Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual."
-- Thomas Jefferson to Isaac H. Tiffany, 1819

A few observations here:

Re: shipping.  Check to see what the differences are for 1/2 Case v. Full Cases v. Multiple Cases.  Once you get past the various UPS (or equal) 'Hazard Penalties' the price should level out.

Re: taxable item.  That would depend on your state having abrogated its sovereignty in part, and joined with other states taxable sales reporting.  Check the ad, usually it will state what States have to pay Sales Taxes, if your state isn't mentioned- you've generally got it made.

Re: prices coming down.  The good ol' days of cheap ammo are gone.  Like the last price increases of the late 90s & early 00s, you are going to see the costs of metals, and chemicals showing up.  Plus a bit of greed!  >:(

Best thing to do is to buy as much as you and your buddies can afford, when the calibers looked for/needed are offered.

No such thing as cheap freight.  I suppose a guy could to run down to FL with a chevy pickup
and haul back a mother load  and cache it to those in need along the way eh?
2000 miles on a tank of diesel would cost a pretty penny .

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."  one who has not qualified himself with the M-16 may not be considered to be a responsible citizen."

—Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle

"Terrorism is the best political weapon, for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death."
-- Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) German Nazi Dictator
 

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in
