Exactly. No sense getting bent out of shape about it.
Stuff will usually sell either way. Lots of guys out there with more money than brains!

I agree.
How would you know if one dealer is buying from another dealer??????
You don't, Yes some prices at auction ate silly, but that is free enterprise.
I had a fellow say that if I bought ammo when cheap, I should sell at that same price, to him.

Some dealers buy from other dealers because they can’t afford buying the whole lineup of guns. Also some brands restrict how many dealers in a certain area.
Mfg don’t supply retailers goods to sell to public to build up consumer loyalty so retailers can sell to another retailer to gouge people. It’s not good business practises it’s shady as #####. I’m good for two years but all the rats involved in this will never see a dime from me.
I'm not sure which business the OP is taking about as there are lots of auction companies but SFRC Auctions is a totally separate company with different ownership than SFRC. 90% of what is in an auction is from customers and other dealers (lots of dealers send in used firearms, discontinued items, etc), the other 10% is dead stock. I'm not sure why people think it's all from SFRC. With the prices being the way they are, people who had stock piled reloading supplies, ammo and surplus guns are dropping it off by the truck load as they know they will sell for good money. Pretty much all the powder, primers and used presses for the last 6 months has come from one customer getting out of reloading. I can assure you that neither company buys from other dealers to resell things. Feel free to pm me if anyone has any questions as I prefer not to post about auctions on here as it's not part of CGN.
Edit: Someone just told me who it is.

If you think he has nothing to do with the auction site you are very naive. This is the same guy who regularly runs illegal lotteries. If all you needed to do to avoid scrutiny was offer people buying tickets some insignificant item then gun clubs and charities throughout the country wouldn't bother getting lottery licenses.
I don't care if a retailer auctions off his own stock, or sell stickers or popcorn, but when a retailer is buying out other retailers to put those items up in an auction for personal gain, that is the issue, large brick and mortar store gets in a few hundred pounds of powder and a few thousand primers and he's buying up the stock and gouging through his online auction........2 weeks shipping roughly since cabelas had H4350 in stock, so in another week and a half I bet we see H4350 in the auction along with all the primers he purchased from another retailer in alberta......I hope I am wrong, but I do know he wiped the other store out of primers, got that info first hand from a very reputable store clerk..........
Could someone PM me the name, since people refuse to just say it? I assumed it was Extreme Range Outfitters out of S'toon, based on the goofy high prices I see, but the "along with all the other primers he purchased from another retailer in Alberta" post above suggests this is an AB shop.

True, extreme range has lost my respect.. they were selling Winchester shotgun primers only 100 per customer for $9.99, then a month later my boy was going to Saskatoon so I thought I'd get him to grab me more 209 primers.. they at that time, would only sell 25 primers per customer and wanted $5.00 for 25.. I told them that I will not bend over and get it dry from them, told them they can keep them..
Im starting to see their dirty tricks and think I will be shopping elsewhere where they have a little more integrity.

A Friend is #####ing when paying 1.3 Mil. for a Property, then #####es again when he wants to flip her without any further improvements 3 weeks later and cant find nobody biting at 1.6 Mil.
We flip a Coin whom pays for the Coffee and Doughnut at TH.

I've bought and sold several batches of stuff at Extreme Range Outfitters. I think they're a wonderful service.
Sold stuff at good prices and low commission.
And bought a few things at what I thought was quite reasonable prices, and some other items at somewhat high price when I couldn't find it elsewhere and needed it. I didn't mind paying the top bid for those items.
And I also passed up a lot of bids on stuff that was selling too high. For me.
That's how markets work. No need to whine if your pockets aren't deep enough.
