Where are the primers

Last week PV had wolf's in stock for 25.50 per 1k. I was looking in the for sale section and saw someone selling them for 40 per 1k. Pretty tidy profit. I ordered 10k from PV, 7 for me 3 for friends. If people would quit paying twice as much for primers as they were worth people would quit trying to sell them for that much.
 
Notice that Powder Valley used to list a 5K price for each primer type, but that's also gone now? Guess we're stuck with either no primers at all, or buying them 1K at a time...:barf:

I am sure they will get back to it when they get cought up on orders and people quit freaking out thinking Obama is going to take all their guns and ammo.
 
Things are getting better that is for sure. But, perhaps some of the newer and some of the whining reloaders will take note to learn to stay a head of the curve, and not end up behind the curve. This is not hoarding, but rather proper planning!
 
Not to give the wrong impression, I too have an ample stash of reloading components - some dating back to before the Clinton years. A couple of the boxes of Winchester 1k small pistol primers that I just used were marked $7.25, if that gives you an idea of how long ago they were purchased.

But I'd like to be able to replace what I use, even if it would cost me $51.00 to replace what I once paid $14.50 to buy. I guess I'll just put primers on my shopping list, and wait until prices come down and availability goes up. It's the best one can do under trying circumstances.
 
I'm fortunate that I have enough SP and SR/LR primers to get me through another year. I would certainly hope that things will return to normal by then!
