The demand for primers is so high that nobody is going to sell them at or below cost. Nobody.
At $69 / K, we can be sure Clark Sporting Goods is making a profit, their price would have to include shipping etc.
That doesn’t make Norma’s price of $90 / K look good, even if their offer includes ‘Free’ shipping.
My point is, if a brick and mortar store like Clark can make money at $69 / K, then Norma, Academy, Brownells, Midway, etc. can too.
If and when we ever come out of this ‘shortage’ we ought to remember who the gougers were when we are replenishing our stock of components.
