As many people use forums to vent their various frustrations with the world they can often seem a bit pessimistic so how about this:
Drive 100 miles to my brothers in phoenix and he wants to go to Cabelas....OK sure
There in the aisle are 3 gents chatting who did not know each other. There on the shelf were 8000 small pistol primers @ $34/1000. I picked up 2000 and smiled....these will hold me for a while I said. Each of the gents was holding 1000 and one said to me that he wanted to buy 2000 but did not want to be a pig. I said if you bought them all to sell for 100+ per thousand would be one thing but I didn't think anyone would think that extra 1000 would be hoarding. Each of the fellows picked up 1000 more and we all left carrying 2000 each with 3000 remaining on the shelf.
My brother being something of a cynic said I might as well have taken all the primers............someone else would.
I said "maybe but none of the people in that Isle did and I like to think what we left on the shelf brightened another day or two"
I hope you find the primers of your choice because the other guy made sure to leave them there for you.....Dave
