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.
