Thread: Primer thieves

Retail is fair not 3-4× retail that is my opinion obviously you are entitled to your own, scalping primers at $100-$200 a tray using your analogy, that would be like me selling you my house for 3-4 × "current market value" no I wouldn't expect you to buy my house for what I paid 10 years ago, but likewise I wouldn't expect you to pay 3-4 × the current market value.

Sadly it is what it is and as mentioned as long as people pay these exhortationate prices then there will be people willing to sell, it just screws the rest of over who cannot justify that kind of mark up.
There is meant to be a shipment coming of RWS primers said to be "enough to satisfy demand for all of NZ" but still no confirmation of when this might hit NZ. Currently I have enough to see me through a bit of load developement and freezer filling hunting, I consider myself lucky, personally I wouldn't be selling any no matter how much the price gets inflated as we just can't rely on when more will be available.

Further to that I don't think anyone would sell their house/property for less just because its "fair", most will sell for the absolute maximum they can get and who is to say thats wrong. We are all free to decide what we will pay.............................or not.
