Lee products recent cost

It's made me at least consider picking up the LnL shell plates that I know about (brand new in a store no less) for $30 and sticking them on ebay. But then I'd be no better than the people some of you are complaining about. So I left them there. They had 2 #45's a #1 and a #10 last weekend.

That's a long way from my 24 cents p. round. 2 years ago. Glad I bought a bunch, and they came in an ammo can. and Free Shipping

I remember when Cheaper than Dirt was actually good. Before the internet I bought tins of brass Russian match ammo for what they were selling 2 bricks of .22 Remington ammo for. I bought 10 tins and shot up most of it that summer (97?). Then I found years later what it was. Really can't blame some of these fools for trying to profit and at the same time sad for those that are desperate enough to pay those prices. Have patience this too shal pass and things migbt go back to semi normal.

As others have stated, Amazon allows 3rd party sellers to set any price they want. I have complained several times to Amazon after seeing 3rd party prices for reloading tools that are 3x or more the manufacturers price and Amazon will not do anything about it. When you do a Amazon search frequently there will be a option on the search result page for seller on the left side of the page, select Amazon and you will not see the 3rd party seller offers.

I got a Lee 4 carbide die set 9mm for @$62-63 a month ago from Midway. Got the 38/357 carbide set from Powder Valley(I think it was) for $43 about 3 months ago.

Supply and demand, supply and demand. Dont feed the gougers folks and they will eventually choke and go away. I peraonally can't wait for that.

Did you mean to put a smiley somewhere in there and then forget?

CTD is the poster child for jacking up prices during shortages.
