It IS free enterprise. If you feel that it's taking advantage, so be it. If you were to sell your primers for a good price, say $80 per K, is that gouging?
So you sell them for $80 per K and the purchaser now goes out and sells them for $160 per K, is that gouging?
There are many circumstances that can dictate the price, among them might be how hard up a person is that is doing the selling. If the "gouger" hasn't worked for months due to the Pandemic and needs rent money or food for his kids, you don't think that guys going to get all that he can to feed his family?
There are many other instances that lend themselves to the stated "gouging", many that have similar stories, a true need.
Not everyone is "gouging". But even at that, it IS free enterprise!

They will eventually. This won't last forever.
Local SW had primers this week for $33 last week. Hopefully the hoarders and re-sellers have to eat theirs...
Today I picked up 200+ primed 45 acp brass at a LGS at >$.25 each. Pretty happy with with my find.

Well I certainly learned the hard way I guess, I've been hand loading for almost a year exactly...
I struggle to find primers to keep this passion burning...
Just the other day I paid 200.00 for 2500 SPP not my finest hr but it will keep me moving foward, I lucked out and grabbed 1k srp #41 for 80 shipped...
Maybe free enterprise is the proper term maybe its not, I would simply look at that price tag and go on my merry way....
It may be a question of morals, BUT and I say this BOLDLY they are his and he can do what he pleases, if somebody wants to pay his price.... so be it...

I guess I agree. Asking ain't getting.
One is free to put any price they choose on their property.

Primers is not the only thing going through the roof. I received an email from Sig today on 9mm bullets @$39 a 100+ shipping. Add the $30 a 100 primers and it makes for one expensive round. I can still get 9mm ammo from my local range for $54 a 100

Seriously , if Jake1945's local guy will ship , I am essentially devoid of SP .
$100 per Hundred is a new level , but $30 per Hundred is common .
In a Free Market , Selling Price = The intersection of Willing Seller and Willing buyers , and that's a better thing than any imposition of external controls .
That said ; To Me , @ $30 I will stick with what I have . For hypothetically $10- ish . I'd get a few hundred SPP specifically for experementing and actual Hunting loads , but not waste them for bulk loading .

At the prices listed before the end of the day his shelves looked like Mother Hubbards cupboard. Larry
What's the going rate on used primers these days?
'Bout the same price as lube grooves!

Well, if once fired brass is good, once fired primers and bullets must be, too! Once fired powder is a bit harder to come by.
Sir,
Any chance that you might consider sharing the identity of the merchant with primers in stock?

any because I bought a supply the last time but my shooting buddy ordered some today.

Be patient. It will return to almost normal again in a few more months, soon as all thr new gun owners get a few boxes. Same thing has happened before, multiple times.
