One last question. I’m pretty sure I’ve got a 1000 at home that I’ve had for ages with a $39.90 tag on them. If I chose to sell them should I only sell them for $3.99 per 100 ? Where does it stop ?

Kelton...I said years ago...and still stand by it... the SINGLE BIGGEST ISSUE with the housing market,is that people are in it to make money.... NOT a home,its an asset to be traded to make more $$$$$
no problem with someone owning a home and selling it and buying another....it the price goes up,well and good...realestate firms are raking it in,the higher the price the more they make....marketing a house as a "good investment" money to be made etc etc is the issue as I see it.
Ive swapped primers with folks on here to see them right....given away projectiles too for same reason....bottom line I dont give a flying fcuk how much $$$ i can make doing so...would much rather see someone right.same deal with some lambs I had spare.....
I bought a couple of scopes on here and resold them/traded them later..same price charged and I let origonal seller know I had done so.
nothing pisses me off more than selling something to member at "mates rates" so to speak,then seeing it put back up at much inflated price.
so far it hasnt happened...long may that last.
I believe your a good enough fella,that you would use your judgment at the time....fair retail price is just that..no one would begrudge that price being charged,you would be supplying a scarce commodity to "help someone out"Quote:

Another example ( albeit extreme) was late 2021 we were getting $5-6000 more for a 12 month old wildtrak done 10000kms than the rrp of a brand new one. Again supply issues. What is one supposed to do? Admonish the buyer for paying too much ?
Admins can we delete this topic/thread? I don’t want people on here chewing each other apart! Just wanted to access and ask a large chunk of the shooting community reloaders to not pay $65 for a hundred primers going forward (no demand prices come down)
Clearly there is yayers and nayers. Point(s) taken.

Yea I noticed that too! But we’re talking 500% markup with the example random primers aboveQuote:

If you need some primers pm me your name and adress. Just promise me you won’t be wasting them on targets and will knock holes in animals. No charge.Quote:

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. ;)
Thats really easy.........................Salesman or retailers generally make statements like this when they really should just say ...................nothing if they are unsure or don't know!!Quote:

100% dodgy as fuck, looks like someone got greedyQuote:

Was at reloaders last week getting powder, they said no more shipments out of Australia this year, they still have small rifle but no large rifle
I picked up 1000 cci large rifle primers from a club member who had come across some. He was moving them on to other members at the ole price. Good fulla and decent of him.
Do all your components get shipped to NZ via AU?
I don't believe so. I think he was referring to any more shipments of ADI powder that we get direct from the Australian manufacturer.Quote:

Yes was referring to ADI powder only,

or if your in Auckland maybe a wet dream???? (too soon???)
Where do you buy from then? I need LR primers and all shops appear to be out. Is there another option?
I want em too. But I don’t actually need em, I can just wait for resupply. We all should try that. People are paying a $1 a primer now. It’s idioticQuote:

According to a guy at the local shop, quite a few people have or are changing to Palma/SRP brass for those cartridges you can get it in, 308, 6.5cm etc
