yea I hear ya it was not one of my wisest purchases ,but I have not seen pistol powder for sale at any price in 6 months,cost me 200 bucks for 4 lbs today , kind of like those Danish garands that were 99 bucks now 2000 or valmets that you could not give away for 500 now are 3500 , it sucks but im getting tired of only shooting rimfire pistols
Budget is within 10$ for a keg as well. Ridiculous watching the price jump on powder. I have a large enough stash to wait and support the people with reasonable prices.. If thing ever turn around I remember those who gouged.
I agree...the dealers that gouge can get stuffed...I will not support them in the future. Consumers need to do alot more talking with their wallets.
Cheers!!
Shibby, most retailers have a set margin for almost everything they sell. If powder in expensive at retail, it is because it came to the retailer at a higher price frome their supplier,, you clearly are not cognisent of this widely known fact. FS
Its not always the "suppliers" who are at fault in price inflation!
Often enough, retailers try to take advantage of shortages as well.
Generally, People at all levels of sales/business can get a bit "GREEDY!" If each level of the commercial buisness chain want to get a little extra during lean supply times, that equals a big shift in prices.
Some times a buisness gets a little too aggressive with thier profit margin standards/percentages. Some items get higher profit magins than others. Its the risk of the retailer, if they increase an item price higher than the industry norm. It may sit there much longer than normal, reducing "potential" profit yields.
I for one, dont mind occasionally paying a little more for an item that is harder to come by. Its all how much you want/need it.
