Not uncommon to run through 10k-20k a year of small pistol primers.

Do those things wear on your shoulders.. ??
I don't condone people selling primers for such high prices but at the end of the day, for some the cost is not crazy in the overall scheme of things, so I don't blame them.
For me it is crazy as I average around 200 rounds of pistol and or 50-100 rounds of rifle down range most weeks.
I buy in bulk and am well stocked due to being caught short a few times over the last 30 years.
I can imagine for the average deer hunter, a 100 rounds may see them right for a year / years.
In the realms of the overall costs of firing that one shot to secure a deer, $0.65 cents would be one of the smallest costs associated with doing what we do if your round count is low.
It was mentioned earlier in the thread that we're a very shooting oriented country & as such represent an attractive market. I'm a bit out of touch but going back to days before H&F were a thing & GC was but a single shop in Chch, a friend who worked in the retail business said that the whole NZ market was smaller than some big gunshops turn over in the USA & as such we were pretty small beer. I doubt that has changed much. I haven't shot much for a while but now I'm retired hope to get out more. I think I've probably got enough primers to see me out. Better go & have a count though. ;)
Great news! 80 cents a primer! Fools! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...43d82fbb9e.jpg

Yeah but whats really kinda funny is the top bidder says "Shoot! My bid was supposed to be 600. Please remove quick"
...and of course it was not removed so he jumped the bidding $210 in his last bid. Wanna bet they get relisted? Hell, even 60c each is ridiculous!
