SMALL PISTOL PRIMERS
Can anyone in this group recommend an honorable online vendor that sells small pistol primers that you don't have to jump through hoops before they'll sell them to you?
It's easy enough to find a few that still have them in stock but, those "Few" require you to buy more stuff than you really need before they'll sell you just the primers themselves.
Two or three of these online vendors takes payments through a Zelle money transfer but, even though I do have a Zelle account tied to my banking app, dealing in this way sort of raises alot of red flags in my head.
Virtually no local brick and mortar vendors have small pistol primers in stock in my area that I've been able to find. I've even posted ads in my local classifieds hoping to just trade straight across for some small pistol primers. I have three boxes of 100 large pistol primers that I don't need any more so, I was hoping to be able to just trade them straight across for some small pistol primers.
So far, I've had a couple of interested people contact me about it but, they live way far up in the northern part of our state. They ask me if I ever get out that way? If I do, they'd be happy to do a trade. I guess there's a primer shortage up north too. Unfortunately, I'm not desperate enough just yet to spend about twenty or thirty-bucks' worth of gas for a two- or three-hour drive just to trade for three boxes of primers.
Have any of you guys purchased reloading components online from a vendor using the Zelle money transfer app, or crypto currency?
I have plenty of everything else for my reloading needs. I just need to replenish my small pistol primer supply, and I don't really want to have to buy over 150, 170 or whatever their given minimum purchase amount might be in order to buy the primers.
These prices are becoming eerily similar to the prices that big pharma is charging for the drugs they produce, and they seem to have no real incentive to ramp up production to meet demand if they can just keep raising prices on the production-runs they're getting out now.
