Just looked right now. CCI LRMP - 500 primers for $77 plus $10 ground shipping so lets say $180 Per K (auction # 900924766) 26 mins to go
Another one - same seller as first one - 1K primers $176 plus $10 ground - so that's $190 per K (auction #900924777) 24 mins to go
Another one - different seller - 5K primers $407.50 plus $65 shipping so that's $95 per k (auction # 901667387) 24 hrs to go so price will def change
Yes its pretty easy for us long time reloaders that are sitting on 10K + primers of every type to say your not gonna pay the high prices. But the bottom line is first time reloaders that have never had the chance to stock pile primers will pay that price.
Until ammo gets back on the shelves and STAYS on the shelves, the price of primers will not come down in price.
All the manufacturers have been running 24/7 to produce components so unless they bring on new production lines they can't increase the amount they make per day.
btw its up to $88 for 500!! they keep bidding, like I said the market will pay what the market will pay
Agreed. I might sell to a friend, someone I know that NEEDS them, at a price that is where things were, but not to anyone else. I wouldn't know if they REALLY needed them, just building a supply or would in-turn resell at current market rates.Quote:

a store might sell them for 50 bucks WHEN it can get them. its only price gouging when its an emergency and nothing is available, right now you can buy all you want for the 100 buck range at shows. like I said before if you think its wrong to sell an item at the current going rate then you need to sell me all your silver at last years price.
Powder shows up pretty regularly. I’ve purchased AA#9 and HP38 8 lbs both under $30 to my door, but I guess you can find someone who would pay $50 per pound.

If selling to someone that is not a friend, sell close enough to going rate to lessen the chance that they will be back on the market instead of being used. No reason to let someone else make a profit on them.
LGS, Hagerstown Md. LRP $20.00/500. Limit 2 sleeves. You may have waited too long, the prices are starting to return to reality.
Price gouging!
Sell your stuff for what you can if that’s what you want to do. 1st edition Superman comic was originally $.10. Now its $3m. Why would anyone expect to get it for $.10 now? My point is the sale is between the buyer and the seller and what they will sell/buy. It might cost you 2x to buy it back next year
Reasonable pricing at Hendershots? Say it ain't so.Quote:

get a table at the local gunshow and price your stuff $5 or 10 less then the other vendors.
Also, I've had numerous "friends of friends" contacting me to see if I have any primers for sale...it always ends the same way, they think I'm out of my mind for the prices I mention, and I tell them to buy 'em at the LGS. Of course, they already know there isn't any, at any of the LGS's in my area.
It’s true that having a 10K + supply of the primers I use is better than having none. Pre-panic my current stock would last close to a year. Not knowing when / if the shortages will end I went into conserve mode to make them last 3 & 1/2 years. About now primers for $45-$55 per thousand is beginning to look good. Not desperate enough to pay $125 - $150 yet. But like smoking, very few smokers quit because cigarettes got too expensive.Quote:

$37-$47/lb is what powders are at here today.
