When I drove up 97 last time I was saddened to see the Guns Girls and Liquor store was defunct. Used to always stop there and buy something even if I didn't need anything - gotta support that place!

I'll be there in a few minutes for some other things and check it out!

Hmm...I wonder if our Bimart, the one I was in yesterday afternoon, got some primers today?

 

[RVTECH]

Yep - looked just like the OPs pic!

0nly had SR & LPM but it was good to see them!

Beaverton's BiMart had zilch today.

BiMart in Bend had a small amount of primers early last week. Two trays of 100 per customer, so I picked up a couple. First time I had found any in a store for a while.

I certainly hope primers start showing up, if only in spotty amounts. It will hopefully start to dry up the online scalpers and people who already have some on hand will have the optimism to wait it out.

1st time I've seen federal primers on a shelf in 2 or 3 years.

Are you referring to just Federal brand or any?

I saw Federal, and most other brands up to early summer of last year at most places.

Well bummer!

Let's stay optimistic however for what little we are seeing and hope its a sign of things to come!

Then once the bubble pops and primers and ammo are readily available on the shelves again, 95% of the people panic-buying now will go back into complacency and stop buying, because they're readily available on the shelves anytime they want them.

It seems that for many people scrambling to buy, the motivation is simply because it's unavailable.

Except for the 5% of us who buy for personal use, keep enough for the 'hard times' but don't fill the basement for eventual profit during times like this.

Some of us got caught adding a new caliber during these tough times.

Exactly, except one thing to remember- those guys who might fill their basement during times of plenty, with an eye towards profits during times of lean, they are actually good for the market. As much as everyone hates scalpers, these guys are not scalpers, even if their prices are high like the scalpers.

They aren't the ones waiting for the ammo shipment at BiMart with their wives, kids, cousins, and neighbor's former roommates to clean off the shelves and resell here for triple. They bought in times of plenty when the shelves were full and available for everyone. When they resell now, it adds to the available supply and helps moderate prices.

Want to fill your basement during times of plenty, for whatever reason suits you? I say go for it. Just be aware of safety and fire codes, but otherwise have at it.

I would think it would be the same for art work or pretty much any other product. I hope this time around buyers continue buying until they are well stocked so the next this happens the product will stay on the shelves.

What are the legalities concerning the storage of Flammables and explosives at home

Don't store all your eggs in one basket (or location) is my motto.
