    RCBS mold handles $3.62 each!

    While browsing thru MidSouth Shooters Supply's web site I ran across the price of their RCBS mold handles. $3.62 each! Just to find out if I could, I ordered one along with my other stuff and sure enough, she came in last night.

    Don't know for sure why but I'm assuming it's a typographical error on some computer programmers part. The regular price in their paper catalogue is $30.62.

    If someone from their company monitors this forum I've just given it away.

    Right now they don't have any in stock, but who knows, maybe it'll stay like this for awhile!

    I got a nearly 400$ set of rocker arms for my Barracuda the same way for 90 odd dollars. I called twice to check the price before ordering. They had 7 sets, I should have bought all I could. The next catalog came out, and well, not 90$ any more.

    We shall see...they are on backorder now, probably because someone here ordered every one they had!. I placed an order for 10 and if it works forum members here will have RCBS handles available at a discount.

    I ordered several
    I just checked my Back Order
    The handles are listed on it at $3.62 each , as I already paid for them with a credit card


    But they must have figured out their typo
    As the RCBS handles are now listed at $36.18

    I understand the urge to take advantage of something like this but I have to ask if anyone thinks this is honest. It seems to me that us shooters should be above being unfair like the other segments of our society. I've always felt like "whatever goes around comes around". If you do things dishonestly it will come back to get you sometime. Maybe no one will like this comment but I'd hope my "brothers of the gun" would be more honest than to take advantage of something like this. You can rest assured if you ever have any dealings with me that you'll be treated honestly and fairly. I'd rather be overcharged and cheated than be the one who is doing the cheating. We owe it to our sport and each other to be good honest people.

    I didn't, I don't need anymore steenking handles. I think every man has a full time job worrying about his own soul.

    I agree with lovedogs. heard yesterday morning of a lady that worked at a convenience store and every weekend she was lowering the price to penny's a gallon. owner finally figured it out no she faces charges of theft of $50,000 worth of gas.

    Sounds like the scam at Walmart several years ago. They had .22LR in bricks with the UPC sticker for the box on the outside of the bricks. #2 son would ask for bricks and they'd let him go to the front and check out as he had other stuff.

    Now, .22LR for $.99 a brick is a hell of a deal./beagle

    there's a difference in paying the advertised price and Making your own price.

    If it's advertised and a good price I'll buy it.

    I won't 'scam' for a better price.

    Here's my $.02
    I will not scam or steal

    But if a mojor online company offers me a product at 10% of normal price
    I will buy it , even if I am 99.99% sure they messed up the price

    They offered a product at a price and I took them up on the offer

    And the next price will be 25 % higher to recoup the loss.

    I agree in general with Lovedogs' comments, however, I'd like to point out that all that comes around didn't actually "go around" at the start-go. Ever notice that? Too bad, eh?
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!

    Now if I had one of those sets of handles at that price, I might actually buy that .358 mold I have been looking at for 3 months.
    No way otherwise.
    day late, dollar short. . .
    woe is me

    Don't the Lee 6 cavity handles work for NEI, Lyman and RCBS moulds as well? They're only about $12.
    I shoot so that I can handload.

    I guess I'm an old boy scout,

    Midsouth has treated me very well over the years in providing reasonable prices alowing me to obtain more bang for my dollars spent with them.

    Like Midway, Sinclair, Track of the Wolf, Buffalo Arms, and Brownell's the people at Midsouth are shooters too.

    I think the mindset is like the shooter in competition that will take any advantage to be a winner.

    Some of us would rather place last than cheat the rest of you from a well deserved victory.

    Did Midsouth honor the orders at 3.62 or did they claim obvious price error and reneg on the online price?
