That's been my experience so far.So what you’re saying is that if you’re a working man/woman who doesn’t have their phone or computer in front of them 24/7, then you’re sol?

I have not been able to finish a transaction yet. 3 of them that were still available, I clicked as soon as getting the discord post, but I was too slow setting up the order
I've seen none since October. Lucky you.I'm fairly certain that these notifications are only being posted after the person receiving the original notification has already purchased what they want. I've only seen four primer notifications total in the last two weeks. I was successful in two of them. One of them the price was a little high but I purchased them anyway and the other was Midway USA and I was coincidentally already on their web page with products in my cart when the notification came in so I immediately went to their primer page added the primers and checked out. Luckily that went through.
That is impossible for me since I work in a place where phones are prohibited and I’m not hardly around a computer. Guess I just have to hope I get lucky on my days off or when I get off work *♂️pretty much. but if you do use or have access to a computer you can run discord/distill in the background and just jump when you hear the beep. there have been primers & powder etc released on weekends, evenings, over night, etc. and it sounds like folks are getting lucky here and there stopping at sporting goods stores.
the good news, there are folks like me that pretty much have what they need now (whatever that means...) so i think demand will be falling which will make it easier for the rest to buy.
Damn, Natchez had SPP and I put them in my cart, then a notice for LPP popped also add them. Got a time out trying to login. By the time I got logged in the SPP was removed from cart. I got out the door with the LPP but lost the SPP because they went off at the same time. Lost the SPP trying to be greedy and save on hatmat fees.
Thought it was all going to work out and get both, but nope. It would be nice if it could with having to pay $15 shipping and $20 hazmat. Damn, I wish you could by these local again.

Did you get an email notice they were back In stock ?
that's really the problem. whether they actually limit you to x quantity, or whether you have to just buy one at a time due to time constraints (ie going oos), we're paying a lot more by having hazmat fees not spread out over multiple items.
What do you think of Powder Valley's method? If they don't have it in stock, they don't display a product.
That's what I was thinking also, from the feedback I've read here. I presume most of the people that buy and then notify are running some form of bot themselves to know when items are available. Seems an anti-bot stance would be cutting your nose off in spite of your face..
I would strongly suggest that you go to midwayusa, brownells, powder valley or whoever else sales primers and will send you notifications and sign up for the first level notifications instead of relying on someone else to do it for you.
It would depend.
Like the ammo thread here on MDS, I have posted things that I have found, that I did not order first, because I did not want to buy any.
I have no problem with a bot to notify. But people are obviously running fully automated bots that place the order.
A simple Captcha stage would stop that.
That would be nice...
It is probably too much hassle for the merchants, but if they wanted to go the extra mile to ensure fair access to as many people as possible it wouldn't be a limit of 1 per person day. They'd do something like limit 1 per person per month per type of primer. That should severely limit scalpers and hoarders (run it based on address, NOT account or name to keep scalpers from registering multiple accounts. If they want to go to the hassle of having multiple mailing addresses, well I guess more power to them). It would still allow most everyone else to get that box or case of SPP, LPP, etc. Yes it probably would screw someone who is a competition shooter and reloads several thousand rounds a month. On the other hand, all of the regular reloaders who can't get a thing because it is in stock and then out of stock in a few seconds because of scalpers and hoarders would likely actually have a chance to get what they need.
