Small Pistol Primers reach $1,800 per 5,000

..on Gunbroker.

Have more than you need? Time to sell.

 

[ole442]

Darn, might be time to sell ...LOL!

You could easily get $200 / 1,000 for small pistol, small rifle, CCI #450, #41. Others ~$175+ per 1,000. Can't ship them legally without the proper license.

I'm only bartering for what I need / want. Guys like me aren't going to pay now for just a primer more than we paid for factory loaded rounds 1, 2, 5 years ago. But others...full-blown panic it appears.

Just go to Gunbroker, do an advanced search on 'Completed Items'. It's shocking what a couple of pounds of unopened desirable (for .223) powder is selling for.

That's insane! Last week I scored 10 small pistol primers in a baggie from these dudes and they were only 15 cents each...




Heck, they even had loaded ammo reasonable.

Sold 5k wolf small rifle and the buyer stood me up had to file with gb.and that was when I sold them 50 bux a thousand final bid.
Now they are back in storage.
Kinda glad they didn't sell bought a handgun that uses small rifle primes.

I think I'll just keep them, not worth the headache of spending more time trying to get listing fees removed for items that were not paid for by window lickers that buy items that cost more then they make in a two week check.

That's one thing ebay has over gb they handle the non paying trash for you right down to relishing.
To bad they are socialist commies when it comes to firearms and related stuff.

Slimshady ill have to get those dudes pager numbers from ya so they can hook me up on the down lo

Time to sell and pick up a transferable MP5SD that I always wanted. LOL

Slimshady, I hate to say it, but this is where we are headed as a country...

8lb keg 75lbs total.

 

[ole442]

So....was the auction for just an 8 lb "keg" or was it for a total of 75 lbs. ?? Big difference.....but then I haven't had coffee yet!

It was both. Lol

8lb keg(s) totaling 75lbs.

 

[ScottinTexas]

Well this is odd.

First, 8 pound 'kegs' can't equal 75 pounds no matter what math you apply. It's either 72 pounds for 9 kegs or one is opened and not disclosed.

Second, the Seller has only a single 'F' feedback for apparently trying to screw some guy who only bought one keg. https://www.gunbroker.com/a/feedback/profile/2784477

Either way that's roughly $70/pound for a LOT of powder in inconvenient containers. That SOMEBODY really wanted...

 

[cajun 22]

Item characteristics says 8lbs

 

[ole442]

Heck, That's outrageous! THe seller has to actually get the money in hand before it's real!

Sold a guy a case of Wolf 7.62x39 for $500. He was using it for reloading components.

The gun show yesterday several tables had primers 5k boxes were $1200. Powder was $45 a pound. Worst price for powder was one guy with it marked $75 a pound. I scored primers and ammo at Bass Pro at normal price by just walking in at the right time. I suggest don’t panic buy and be patient.

Last week I drove about an hour to meet a guy who was selling a lot of powder, brass and bullets; he is moving out of the country and his prices were fair.

We met at a Bass Pro and I walked in to browse. Figuring the answer would be "No" I asked the guy behind the counter if they had any primers. Turns out they did and I bought all 1,000 Federal 205M for $54.00. Weird.
