I think the Gougers are getting edgey...

[P.K.]

Just got off the horn with a "friend" who has a "friend" that has 365,000 SPP's wanting to unload the whole shebang for $60.00X1000. Told him to keep them and I got hung up on....LOL!

Anyone else know anyone trying to unload their hoard? Seems to me that with that silly twit from CA getting her ban dropped has a few folks getting worried about their "investment."

[Blammer]

when he gets to $25 per 1,000 I'll buy some, provided he pays shipping.

[Love Life]

At 25 per 1,000 I would take a whole bunch off his hands.

Don't invest what you can't afford to eat...

[abqcaster]

Yeah, what Blammer said.

[300winmag]

There is going to be a bunch of people stuck with things they do not need or even use. I will set back and watch!! I will buy or trade in a fair market, not during a craze.

[41 mag fan]

I hope noone buys it from any of those who bought to gouge prices. Let them eat their losses

[runfiverun]

I hope [okay no I don't] he paid wholesale.

$60 per 1K primers, is that the market right now? that is crazy

[Case Stuffer]

I purchased 2K at $40 per K yesterday at a local dealer. I felt that was a fair price as Federal and CCI s are $140 per 5K at Midways USA then there is the hazmat plus shipping. I have a back order placed at another online dealer for 5K CCI SP $154.43 plus27.50 hazmat plus $16.95 shipping for a total of $198.89 . $40 per k plus $2.80 sales tax out the door is likely to be the new fair price.
Wish I had the ones I paid less than $10 per K years ago stolen while I was moving 6 years ago but then all that got was most of my primers,powder ,cast bullets and alloy. Non of my reloading or casting equipment was stolen so I still considered myself lucky.

[Bad Water Bill]

When the bottom falls out and he can not feed his greedy family now living in a cardboard box I MIGHT offer $10.00 per K if I am feeling generous that day.

Otherwise learn your lesson and eat beans.

[P.K.]

I agree with yo'all. I did the math and if the friend is actually him he was bragging a few months back on his "investment." Told him then that I was set and good for him. So much for that "set for life" comment he made at the time.

I just checked my goto supplier and they are still taking backorders at $34.78X1000 for CCI #41's, being as that's the only one I'm worried about I'm good with that.

You need new "friends"

[wv109323]

Any person that bought 365K primers is a speculator. Let him learn that the market goes up and the market goes down. Pay your money and take your chances.

[dragon813gt]

If he bought them in normal times I'm assuming he worked a deal. I would have anyway. So if the normal price was. $25 per K I'd want it to for less. So he should be able to recoup his initial investment easy. If he bought at inflated prices screw him and that's what he gets. I don't need 365k. But I will easily shoot close to 10k this year depending on the weather. I know it's a free market. But when you keep a product out of the hands of people that will actually use it I have no respect for you. The shortage would be 365k heavier if he wasn't sitting on them and not planning on using them.

[John Allen]

I am waiting to see what happens. We all know there are people out there who bought the stuff just expecting the bans to make money. Well I am sitting here with cash in hand waiting for the regular prices to come back.

[gray wolf]

Free enterprise is one thing, but IMHO any person that willfully takes advantage of another person is not a very nice soul. But then again if the people wouldn't pay the price they wouldn't be able to sell the stuff. So what do we have here ? the chicken and the egg thing ?
It's there right to sell and someones right to buy, but I just don't like how some as in many choose to make there money. Just say-in.

[Crash_Corrigan]

The only thing I bought in the last 6 months were 6 Sig SP 2022's and a Dillon 650XL. I am keeping at least two of the Sig 9 MM's for myself and my wife and the other 4 will be barter material for when the Dollar falls and becomes worthless.....

If it does not then I will have 4 Sig's for sale at reasonable prices since I bought them very reasonably.

The Dillon will be used and will have a place of honor on my reloading bench.

[km101]

NO! I try not to hang out with people like that!

The speculators that are not gun people are the ones most likely to get burned. They are not familiar enough with the market to know when to "bail out"........................
