I"m sure by now most of you have noticed the slight price increase of primers let alone finding them. 100 primers going for $50+,1K $125.,5K $750 on GB.??.
That’s insane. I just ordered 500 large rifle primers for $20 from Cabelas. I’m having them shipped to Hanover bass pro and supposedly they are on the way. I know what kind of reputation bass pro has though so we shall see. I miss old school Cabelas.
Matt, if it falls through let me know I’ve got plenty.
I just picked up 3k cci small rifle primers for $33 per 1k at the local hole in the wall. They also have shelves full of powder I grabbed some h335,h1000,varget and reloader 15.
Primers are going for crazy prices on GB. Well over $500 for 5,000.
I could make a quick 3 or 4 thousand dollars if I put all my supplies up for auction.
There is only one thing stopping me from doing it.
I'm not a price gouging asshat who is a opportunist prick. Other than that I could make some coin.
I understand making a dollar or 2 but that is total BS.
I have sold primers and powder to a couple members and a neighbor lately, and I sold them at MY COST. Didn't even jack up the price for the "hazmat fee". Some may say that is foolish, I don't take advantage of people I know.
I have too much faith in karmic debt to do that
Now almost all primers are gone. They are selling for upwards of $300 per 1000 on gunbroker. The only place I found a few were at Clyde's and those were Magnum large rifle, basically useless to me. With the election coming up I suspect things are going to get a lot worse before they get better (if that even happens)...
You can't gauge anything from GB. I've heard it said a few times, just venturing out away from large cities and towns, you can find supplies and ammo. These small shops don't have their inventory online and you may have/want to call ahead, but it's still out there.
