You ain't gonna belive this

Went to the gunshow and and saw a sign that read remington small primers $29 for 5000. I told my wife that the sign was wrong and meant $29 a thousand. I said to the guy hey you mean $29 per thousand right? He says no per box. HUGH? You sure I asked. He says yes. Well, I am the proud owner of 30,000 remington small pistol primers for the princely sum of $184. I pinched myself to make sure it wasnt a dream. The best part I sold 10,000 to a friend for $215 and have 20,000 for myself. Thats the first time I have gone to a gun show and made money

LOL
Do you even feel the slight's bit of remorse ?

I know I would have , for at least 2 seconds

I wish , just once
I would walk into a deal like that at a gun show

Good deal and I would have done the same.................................I love to hear of these things even if it will never happen for me.

[Heavy lead]

Don't you just love capitlism, whoofrickenhoo.
Holy buckets buddy good goin'.[smilie=w:

[hedgehog]

did you ask after you paid why such a low price?

[parrott1969]

I just paid and ran, I only ask once if someone is sure the price is right. If they say yes I grab and run. I call it the Mississippi Code.

[ghh3rd]

Wonder if they meant $29 for 5000 or 500 :-)

[451whitworth]

good for you! after all the nonsence i have heard about primers in the last two years that is poetic justice.

[parrott1969]

I don't know. All I can say is he took my $184, gave me 30,000 primers and let me make it out the door. You might call that a clean get away!

[George Tucker]

LOL, did you wear a mask during that transaction?.

[chris in va]

Did you ah...open the box yet?

How old are these primers?

Perhaps 'Chiguhr' placed a transponder in one of the cartons. Don't rely on your deadbolt.:Fire:

[lwknight]

I bet whoever was running the table got a royal chewing when the seller found out what happened. There was definately a failure to communicate.

...............They probably came from New Orleans.

Quick, buy a lottery ticket, before your luck runs out.

[Charlie Two Tracks]

Very good Parrott1969. You should be set for awhile. Glad to see you get a deal like that.

[mrbill2]

Didn't you hear about the recall on Remington Small Pistol Primers. I don't remember if it was 300,000 or 30,000.:kidding:

dude where was the gunshow???
you mean i missed out on one i could have racked up on

[DLCTEX]

Some vendor lost money at that gun show. I was in Las Vegas in '86 and went into a Yellowfront store for some socks and underwear. As usual I took a gander at the sporting goods and noticed they had 22 magnums. Having just bought some in Oklahoma for $4.99 a box i was surprised to see them for $1.59 a box. A check with the clerk confirmed the price, so I bought all they had, 10 boxes. Checking them on the drive home I found that the first two boxes were marked $1.59 and the rest were $4.95. By that time I was in New Mexico and, no, I didn't go back and make it right.

[captain-03]

Glad it happended for a Mississippi boy!!! Great score!!

[cabezaverde]

The primers are all once fired.

[Russel Nash]

you didn't get his business card, did ya?

does he ship?

[dragonrider]

I have to agree with L W Knight, that fellow was running the table for someone else. And I'll bet that someone is p*****d.

[Dillon]

very pissed! Theres no way thats right unless that guy was trying to give to charity. someone lost a lot of money that day. I just wonder how many they sold for that price.

[jdgabbard]

Dont know, but I would have bought quite a few myself. You're right, someone is very upset.

[No_1]

The lesson learned here is good deals can be found if we spend the time to look. I myself would have walked past the table without a second glance thinking they would be way over priced. I guess this is a reminder to keep my eyes peeled.

That rarely, if ever happens to me. All I ever see at gun shows are overpriced parts and used guns priced the same as I would pay for a new one at a sporting goods store. Good for you! I am envious.

[Hardcast416taylor]

I come up with a figure of $174 for the total. You must have a grudge with you friend for gouging him that way.Robert

[BrianB]

Your luck must be rubbing off on me. I ordered a set of dies and some .243 WSSM brass yesterday from Jeff Jones on this site...$20...can't beat that. So this morning, before I went to my lease to do some load testing, I addressed an envelope to him and planned to stop at the PO after shooting some. I got to the PO and went to the back of my Landcruiser to lock it and there, in front of me on the street, was a $20 bill. Yep, free dies and brass, all I had to do was pay the shipping!

I am using some Katrina primers and 99 out of 100 go bang!

[splattersmith]

What did your ex-friend say when he saw your post?:bigsmyl2:

[parrott1969]

These are new remington primers. Guy told my wife that his uncle over ordered and he was going to be very happy that he sold all the primers. I tried to explain that the price was wrong but he was certain that price was correct. As my granny used to say You can lead a horse to water but if you can not make him drink ride him till he falls down. As for my friend, He got a great deal 10000 primers for $215! If the shoe was on the other foot I would have been very happy to have paid so little.
