Today I attended the quarterly gun show at the Cow Palace in Daly City (close to SF). When ever I go, my goal is reloading supplies and I was able to pick up 3 lbs of powder because I waked in the door 5 min after they opened. There were no primers where I bought the powder but the guy said that someone came around just in the last 10 min and bought all his primers. I thought to myself "well, you snooze, you loose" and went on my way. I heard the same story form another guy and again I admonished myself for getting there late (relatively).
Then I came upon a guy that had about 8 bricks of Federal primers and I thought "Oh good!". He told me the price was $80 a brick and I almost died! He then said …"well it hard to find primers these days so if you want them it is $80". I told him where he could go and what he could do to himself.
About ½ hr later, I came upon another guy selling reloads and supplies who said that he was all sold out and that, just before the show opened, there was a guy who came by a bought all his "Federal" primers for $35 each. So……this guys buys all the primers in the place before anyone else can and then marks up the price 100+%!
There ought to be a law….but then we do not need anymore laws restricting things like this.
