    Yeah and there's also a time honored saying of; treat others how you want to be treated.

    If you want to make a quick buck and be a cun+ yeah sure go for but in turn expect others in a small community to take note and treat you like one when you need something.

    So next time you need something and it's doubled, trippled or worse in price and it's for sale just remember you aspire this kind of carry on.

    Cripes there is some paradoxical thinking here.

    So what if primers were posted on Trademe for $1/100 with no reserve and they were run up by buyers to the same sorts of price or greater than what kicked this thread off. Who would you lambast then?? 'Cos that's the demand side playing out in a tight market. True Act market love.

    On the other hand we could all agree on what the maximum price for primers should be and lock up anyone who dared to sell primers over and above that. We could control the primer market. That's true Labour market control.

    The primers I quoted were not $1 reserve bidded up to $100 that is the start price, for clarity if people want to bid up to unreasonable prices that's on them. I don't agree with what is quite clearly gouging at 5x retail cost. Last I'll be commentimg on this thread, clearly there are 2 schools of thought on this and maybe I'm old fashioned but charging people 5x the cost of a reail consumable (not a collecters piece) just doesn't sit right with me.

    NZ is incredibly high up the list of private gun ownership per capita/country. I think in the top 20. We are a serious hunting and shooting economy for vendors, suppliers and distributors.

    Irrespective of where we sit on gun ownership per capital, I would suggest that our consumption of ammo is so inconsequential that were we to completely stop consuming for a decade it would not noticeably alter the profitability graph of any global supplier. Five million people at the bottom of the world are simply not that important to any global supplier of anything.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Understand that. I was making a comparison to illustrate a point. A "no reserve" auction might well end up over $100....

    Not a Labour's supporter, so I don't go about "aspiring " to anything. Feel free to find someone on this forum that can claim I overcharged, ripped off. Took advantage of......... Pssst, keep it on the quiet, but I have a few trays of LR primers I was thinking about selling now the price is getting up there - you want first dibs? $50 a tray seems fair.....��

    I could actually spare a tray of LR primers to test the dollar reserve idea, see if I can angrify a few Karen's......

    @Burb122 Not if Labour has its way.......They cannot control the population if the population is not dependant on them. And they will never depend on them for food if they can hunt for it...

    Primers are due in the next month or so according to outdoors supplies, but not federal i think they will be a brand that we haven't used before.
