If you sell something for 5 times the price of what you paid for it that sets a precedent which others will use as the yard stick to sell something for.

I never claimed nor have I claimed you've- overcharged or ripped anyone off.

I can almost guarantee I've got more primers than you but whatever floats your boat there.

Got to keep this in perspective. Really, this only involves a few shooters nattering on the internet (here) and at the most a bigger handful of shooters who buy shooting consumables off Trade Me. It means nothing and sets no precedent. Most hunters and shooters don't use trade me, never visit a forum or particularly give a toss. The high consumers plan ahead and the casual shooter scratch around and get what they can from the retailers.

Primers will come. They will be more expensive because of freight costs, labour costs and inflation. Not 'cos someone was naughty on Trade Me.

I personally think you are off with your 1990s vision. A huge majority of the new Gen hunters are internet savvy and do a lot of there shopping online and trademe. Literally 1000s of hunting gear and kit sold daily on trademe, let alone what’s sold online (why do retailers have websites I wonder)

Just saying. If many pay $65 for a 100 primers. What becomes the new normal price? And what do retailers want to now charge?

I guess I want this thread to head you all to not buy in. Just wait if you can.

I’m not a rich guy and to enjoy my sport I want to be as fair and reasonably as possible.

We all mocked the toilet paper people right. This is similar.
