Why LR Primers not in stores? , auctions are better money

[jimmerp]

Just watched the desperate chase for LR primers go down on an online auction.

SFRC auctioned ten or so new bricks for 240-280 a brick.

Then add the 15% buyers fee and tax that total to whatever province you are in…….

If you lived in NS it came out to 317-378 BEFORE SHIPPING.

Guess its better than in the store at 150……..

Remember, almost all the items in the auctions on any site are from consigners, they aren't business items. We don't control what someone puts in an auction. Lots of people with large stashes of stuff are auctioning it due to the current prices.

was this regular LR or the more expensive BR stuff?

Naaaah! Business people are very honest. They would never use their friend’s, family member’s or store employees’s names to put items on auction to make chit tons of profit. Even if they did(by mistake I’m sure) they would never….ever bid on their own items to jack up the prices. Happens never, said Trudeau…….lol

Any primers we've gotten in the last year have gone to Wolf Bullets to load ammo for us and I don't think we've received more than 50,000 primers in the last year.

At least you now admit it isn't a separate business.

It is a separate business and I clearly said "any site" in reference to any auction companies website.

Separate as in you aren't the direct owner.

These gun shops that do these auctions are all pretty greasy....I liken them to a pawn shop or used car lot.

Yup, any association with auctions or a habit of "sticker draws" is a very good indicator of a scummy business.
