In these days of prepackaged website designs, looking at a site with obvious grammatical errors and bizarre wording should be enough. Further, these days, no one is giving anything away for free, or at reasonable prices...

That site gets 5 out of 5 skunks... in other words, something stinks.
 
Minimum order $200 + $30 flat rate shipping.

1 box of WWB 9mm 115gr FMJ “on sale” for $118.98 for 100 rounds.

I’ll pass on that “sale”, thank you very much.

Lets not forget those "young" folks and the boat load of primers being shipped from far away places!
Or the many new primer factories!:rofl:

Here's a thought - Don't buy stuff on the internet. Cultivate relationships with local businesses. Yes, local might be a long drive for some of you. Pay with cash.

If it's not powder valley, rmr or midway I'm not sending any payments ahead of having the product in hand. There are some good people here to buy/sell or trade and I've done all three. Some random internet site never!!!!!!!

i found 7.7 PPU new brass for $33/50 in sealed bag at a local shop. You guys would love this shop! They “had” Colt .45 brass for $12/100, and I bought it all!

Us older folks are the ones who created the internet. It’s the generation that did nothing, earned nothing, that’s turning it into a smoking heap of crap. Thanks, kids! :cuss:

LOL. I'll be 70 next February. I ran one of the largest websites on the internet for 20 years until I retired last August. There are few scams I haven't seen, dealt with or watched internal security try to pull.
My kid, now 23 has no idea what he is in for. I'll bet that 95% of anyone his age or younger, has even less of a clue. I'm not sayin' everyone with a website is out to get you.... but learning HOW to do research, is more important than anything. They don't really teach that in "build your own website" classes. There is something fundamentally wrong with the way we educate at the foundational level, and it takes a lifetime to undo the damage. Ultimately, regardless of
generational nuances, "...people are born pretty stupid and tend to remain that way, unless acted upon by an external force." -- Alfred E. Newton

I think my buddy may have gotten scammed…. He ordered 10 pounds of Ramshot TAC a couple weeks ago from a site I wasn’t familiar with. He got a couple of legit looking emails from them, but so far has not received any shipping confirmation. I hope he hasn’t blown his money. But it wouldn’t be the first time he’s been scammed…..
 
Speaking of scams, did anyone ever get to the bottom of what happened with the primer import guy? Noah?

Did anyone get their stuff or stiffed on refunds?
