    Cheapest Primers EVER! Wow

    Sooo, it wasn’t me unfortunately, but how do you think the first guy to come across these primers responded to what he stumbled across???

    ... did he look around for cameras to see if he was on a hidden camera tv show?
    ... maybe he peed his pants from excitement?
    ... hopefully he didn’t smash thru the glass w/out thinking and grab them all as fast as he could??

    Or maybe an employee grabbed them before a customer even had a chance, who knows.

    There is no reason to feel guilty whatsoever about buying ANYTHING mismarked! It is not the consumers duty to fix a price that any competent outlet should be responsible for. There is a reason for everything. On the contrary, I wish I could find some of these!

    Looks like Mills Fleet Farm price tags...

    Feel the same way and thankfully the marked price has to be honored here. I’m wondering if that price is per 100 or 1K. Because the 4.95 price next to it would be an excellent price for 1K. And a poor one if it was for 100.

    I told my LGS about primers for 15 cents, but they didn't have any. They said they usually sell them for 10 cents when they don't have any.

    Stores here no longer have to honor mispriced items.
    Sometime back someone took a store to court, and loss.
    I've went to check out a few times with mispriced items.
    When they rang it up at the regular price, I would question them.
    If they didn't give it to me for the marked price, I started to play a game.
    First ask for manager. If that didn't work.
    I would wait till they rang everything up, then started deducting items, then adding them back.
    After going round and round, I would just tell them....
    If you can't honor the marked price, I don't need anything.
    Don't know who it is in the lower 48, but we have some of the most stupid cashiers in the world here.

    From what I can tell the 4.95 primers say 150 at top left and the .15 primers say 200. May or may not be the quantity.

    I’m assuming those are the primer type numbers. Federal SP are 100 while CCI is 500.

    Yeah i think those numbers are type. JBinMN is right a Mills Fleet Farm, a midwest company. They have one aisle for reloading and there’s always odd items being clearances. From RCBS tools, to Hornady dies, bullets, etc. This is the first time I’ve seen primers. And yeah many of the other prices are this crazy as well. I don’t know if it’s old stock, over-stocked, or what, but I look each time I’m there. -Brad

    Looks like a cruel joke by a sadistic store clerk....Never had anything in that row.

    When I bought my chargemaster at cabela’s, it was on sale the week before for $269. I went in to buy something else. While there, I decided to look at the chargemaster, and it was still marked $269. I brought it to the checkout, and it rang up $389. I told them it was marked differently, and they honored the price. Hey, I only missed it by 2 days.
    Due to the price of primers, warning shots will no longer be given!

    I would have casually gathered them all up and strolled right on up to register and paid for them like that was their normal price...then I would speed all the way outta there a mile or so like the cops were chasing me!!!!

    Not mine! They won't honor hardly anything mis marked. I've left stuff on the counter there and at Bass Pro in LRock

    The cashier had to get the manager because it was over $100, but they did it.
