Cost of Varget is $56.00, plus 60% is $90.00.

You can price your stock as you please.

If you noticed, I removed my post.

Always remember though, some will forget who does the price gouging during these times of shortage.

Others will not!......:(
 
Since you did not read the first message, please re-read.

Send us a PM telling where we can buy wholesale and have that type of markup please.

Preferably somewhere that does not involve a time machine.

Throwing numbers around and the reality of supply is not the same thing. Currently there are plenty of auctions taking powder and selling Varget for $150-$220. It would be easier, faster and much more profitable for us to send the powder to these auctions if we were only after dollars.
 
Wish I could order some from Manitoba. Missed some from another retailer (Tenda) only due to their cart system as it wouldn’t let me check out fast enough (asked for gun club information, I mean really, common!) and it sold out to someone else before I could type fast enough.

Hello Frontier,

I apologize if I offended you guys. This was not my intention. It was a kneejerk reaction to your $90.00 per pound listed price for Varget gun powder.

However, we all buy reloading components from the same place. BowMac Gunpar, Big Rock Sports and North Sylva. You and I both know we pay $56.00 per pound of Varget at wholesale. If you add 60% to this, it comes to your asking price of $90.00.

In saying this, you can ask whatever you want for any in stock items, it is not my business. And yes, you can get up to $300.00 per pound at auctions and other sites where people are desperate. Does it make this right? Only you can answer this question.

If we price gouge because of high demand, people will not forget while trying to run your business when the shortage stops.

Again, take this with a grain of salt, it's your place to do as you please. Let's not spew lies though about the cost of items like gun powder.....:)
 
We will repeat the question, where can a dealer get powder and actually have it delivered at a price that allows for a 60% mark up? A price list in a spread sheet that than becomes a back ordered item that never arrives is not the same thing as delivered product at the price listed.

Still no answer or PM in our inbox.

We are aware of the prices that were on our booking sheets at the end of last year before the price increases took affect.
 
Post deleted, since you still cannot post a source that will deliver powder at a price you claim (either here or by PM), your posts on gouging serve only to take up space in our thread.

That's still $77, so your saying you have access to Varget for $56/lb Canadian? $41usd[/QUO

No, not at all.

I said dealer cost on Varget is $56.00 per pound. With a 30% markup, this puts an average retail price of $73.00 per pound.

Individual dealer markup can run between 30%-80%. Every dealer has a different markup.

When shortages occur on product, some dealers or businesses drive up their retail pricing.

I believe it's called supply and demand. When supply goes down, demand goes up, thus causing price increases.

That actual retail price increase will depend on that particular dealer.

I posted exactly what you asked for, you deleted it because the truth will hurt your price gouging.

It's unfortunate, I even apologized if I offended you.

You would have scored more points with your customers by leaving it up.

Why PM you when we can keep all in the loop?

You run your retail pricing as you choose. The truth will however always prevail.

Cheers......:)

Reduce your margins on powder to let your customer shoot. You’ll have much more success that way and you can keep up with your other margins as you’d like.

There is absolutely no justification for 60% mark up on powder. 25% is plenty enough
 
With the price of powder, bullets, primers, and brass it may be time to rethink my hobby of shooting.

If I don't practice, develop accurate loads, confirm drop and windage ... a box of 20 rounds could last me easily 10 years for moose hunting AND there will no longer be a desire to buy multiple guns each year saving me a crap load of money! :)

Ha, nothing like an industry cutting off the hand that feeds it! LOL
