I don’t do buy, sell or trade with people who gouge. Just keep it up, make friends, and fare deals will come.Yea I have traded some loaded ammo for primers. Things are kind of all over the place right now and it can be very frustrating. Some people want more for primer than loaded ammo lol.
on a happy note, my range sells brass to member at scape brass price. I bought 35# of 308 for $45 !It's relative, if they want to value their stuff at today's price I'll do the same. Or, we can trade at 2018 prices. I'm pretty much just loading and shooting, helping a few close friends with things they need. Not looking to sell but would trade if we both were happy with the deal. It is very situation dependent. Odd times for sure.
That's why I keep the largest stock of large rifle and magnum large rifle.Doing my first trade for a component in the morning. Trading a brick of CCI SPP for a brick of large magnum rifle primers. I know the pistol primers are a bit harder to get, but I'm down to 800 mag primers and I'm nervous about future availability and hunting seasons.
I'd only consider selling/trading 'I can live without it' stuff, but there will always be those who might prefer making a quick buck.I'd rather trade if I have something I can live without. Like @Ohen Cepel said. Value yours how you like, and I'll value mine the same way.
I recently traded some primers that I didn't really want to trade. But I got the dies I needed without paying inflated prices for them. And since I didn't pay inflated prices for the primers, it worked out especially since the guy I traded with sweetened the pot somewhat. It's a caliber I didn't anticipate needing to load for, so I was kinda caught off guard by the "sudden need" for components for it.I'd only consider selling/trading 'I can live without it' stuff, but there will always be those who might prefer making a quick buck.
I use online Vendors/Retailers for general price/value information. I don't / won't ask 'Gun Buyer' prices as I wouldn't pay that myself.
I have given some primers away recently,
