There are scalpers on this forum who try to sell used stuff for what they paid for them, or what they seem to think they are worth. Not everybody but some. For example there is a person on this forum who was selling some used Lee molds. One of which I could have used but he wanted more for it than any Midway wanted brand new. The old saying is buyer beware. Right now there are scalpers every where. I bought primers from Zincpoint.com. I bought enough that the HAZMAT and shipping made sense.
Last week my BinL talked me into going to a gun show in Sequin. He was looking for primers. He had thought that the ones from Zincpoint were too expensive so I didn't order any for him. They had some at the gun show but at $150 a thousand. I didn't pay anywhere near that. But he REALLY needed then so he bought them. Buyer Beware.
I don't believe we will ever get back to what primer prices were two years ago. I also believe that since Federal has bought up most if not all ammunition companies we will never see the availability we were all used to.
I don't think Federal is the company we think they are. Personal Experience.
