The irony

[Josh89]

Abour a month and half ago I put some primers on here for sale $150/1k. People lost there bubblegum about it. Made plenty of snide remarks and we're just general dicks about it.Now there's some for almost $300 with multiple people in line to get them. I find it rather funny.

I find it rather sad. I'm not sure what is causing the panic but I am concerned that people are feeding into it and feeding the panic like this. The ones selling were smart and stocked up when things were affordable. IMHO, it's far too late now. I'm wholely unprepared but I am going to be able to manage if I cut back my livefire time. I'll run out of primers long before I run out of bullets. I have just under 4 minutes of trigger time in 45acp projectiles. About the same in 9mm projectiles. Only a few K in primers.

So did they sell? If so are you still deeply hurt that someone made some negative comment? 1st world problems that this still is bothering you to this day
I take it you must be fairly new to the net. This site is so mild it's not even on the meter compared to what the old un moderated groups on Usenet used to be. So if they sold, great. If not, looks like a grand time to try again. If you want to play on the web really need to learn to let stuff roll off a little better or only play in some of the super tightly moderated groups. This one is moderated but is very lightly done compared to some others.

There's always D bags lined up to make a quick buck off from people's fears.

Those people I would deal with. They are vultures.

No different than people out there scamming old people.

Hopefully you get your judgement some day.

I know everyone has their own opinion of this but really? The people who ignored the loading stuff when the shelves were full and the stuff was on sale I get it, they are angry. We are still not talking about food or medicine here. The only reason there are some making bucks is some are willing to pay. If those people offered up the stuff at "normal price" it would be gone in seconds and then what? Panic shortage would still be going and there would still be none to buy. This is the free market working and a great example of first world problems.

Do you stop by used car dealerships just to give them a piece of your mind? They actually fit your description of the above rather than a random person with an ad to see what the market would bear.

People have been selling fear since we put rocks in a circle and sparked a flame.

Just my opinion.

Even if I have something to sell, I'm the type of person to just get my money back.

I can't stand people who prey on others.
and that's what their doing.

Money can't buy happiness, time, or a clear conscience.

would you sell your house for what you paid for it?even if the price were to triple.

A dollar today gets you less purchasing power than a dollar 10 years ago

Edit. The value of the dollar is dropping like a rock compared to even two months ago relatively to ammo and ammo component prices.

Economics 101, supply and demand. It's happened before for some types of ammo, it's happening now, and it happens for other items not related to firearms (e.g. real estate or housing as mentioned by @Josh89 ).

exactly. It's funny how even people on our side are all for capitalism until it really affects them. Then it's screwing people over.

I honestly didn't even need the cash when I put the ones I had up. It was a couple weeks before Christmas andsaw the price primers we're going for and thought man I'd sell a brick of these snd go buy the kids one of them newfangled Nintendo boxes.

Nintendo sucks. Get them an XBox Series X or PS5.

Vent your spleen but let's stay away from the personal jabs...thank you.

we have the Xbox already. I honestly wanted the Nintendo so I could play the old Zelda games.

doesn't hurt me at all. I still got the primers to put In new cases.Seems like it bother someone else tho. I'm guessing your the new one since you think your opinion matters to anyone else but you.

Boy a lot of people getting butthurt over OP being or not being butthurt. You'd think he robbed a store or something. To me it's like porn: Don't like it, don't watch it. Almost nobody will like all of it, but you probably like some of it even if you won't admit it.

I'll just save some time and go ahead and lock this. I wasn't trying to start a debate or argument. I was just pointing out that I found something funny.

Edit:I guess I can't lock it
