SOLD/EXPIRED Brunos Bulk BR4 Small Rifle Primers - Lot of 15,000

[Earnhardt]

I wish they'd quit charging so much for primers.
I need to buy some new biking shorts and training wheels for my next bicycle ride.
Need to show off my bulbous buttocks ya know...

Just saw BR 2s for $145.99 at the LGS. Still cheaper than retail plus shipping plus hazmat maybe.....

 

[kaseyfied]

By next year those may have seemed like an amazing deal.... Not good at reading tea leaves, but I don't think, this administration has even started with it's gun control agenda yet, and when it does things might get ugly fast.
Not a huge fan of Bruno's though. They were infamous for this type of pricing during the last scare.

Lol... the administration has nothing to do with the greed of this country. I'm sorry, but there is just no way its costing an additional 100 bucks per brick... it's just greed at this point.. more taxes and laws yes, which if you stop and think is a couple bucks more per box of ammo.. or brick of primers...

The major and most impactful component of inflation is in oil and fuel costs. That ripples through the whole supply chain multiple times.
Once in manufacturing and raw materials both on energy cost and petrochemicals. Then there is transport through the distribution system. Then there is hazmat and shipping costs to the consumer.

I do think that on BR and match primers the manufacturers are tacking on significant premiums beyond actual cost for "Quality Control". I think a chunk of this is marketing hype......greed if you want to call it that. Part of it may be the higher cost of labor in a Covid world where no one needs to or wants to work......but likely not all of it.

The fuel and labor components are driven by policy and laws.....and what they do is get the ball rolling in the wrong direction. So then greed becomes more possible and more probable as a tack on.

It all goes the wrong direction.
And leadership and policy drive that bus. But, the components of inflation are both real and phsycologically ( greed and fear)
driven.

Bottom line, BR primers are way hyped on cost vs. actuals but
the fuel, chemical, labor and transport cost increases
are all real.

I'll swallow price increases in comparison to other things but not 300%.
You can account for 275% of it to people willing to pay.
500% on gunbroker and 475% is greed and willing to pay.

It amazes me people are willing to just swallow the new "normal" its only that because there willing to pay the prices.

And it amazes me that people are willing to just swallow the new "normal" when it comes to super awesome "custom" bullet prices.

And it really amazes me that people are willing to swallow/believe the new "normal" when it comes to custom/wildcat rounds that are are out there.
Staggering velocities with LESS than SAAMI/recommended pressures?.... ya, right.

To each his own fellas.

I will not pay $70k for a pick-up, when my 10 year old pick-up works great.
I will not pay $60k for a boat, when a 14-16 footer with a tiller works great.
I will not pay $2-4k for a bike, who rides a bike besides kids anyways?


But an increase from .04 to .12 per primer is worth the griping.....I guess.
An $.08 increase per primer is worth this?...I guess
On a barrel that gets 3000 rounds on it, that's an increase cost of $240 over the life of the barrel
On a barrel that gets 2000 rounds on it, that's an increase cost of $160 over the life of the barrel
On a barrel that gets 1000 rounds on it, that's an increase cost of $80 over the life of the barrel
And the total cost of the gun/scope is $2-$8000?
$80 is worth the griping?

No complaints about food prices or propane prices though?

Sarcarm on...
Now I'm gonna go build me one of them Super Magnum guns, that can handle an undisclosed amount of pressure...
and I'm gonna shoot them custom bullets in it, that cost well over a dollar.
And I'm gonna do it with glee and total acceptance of cost

Sarcasm off...
Do I want to pay $.12 per primer, nope
But am I going to?...all day long


In Marvin the Martian's voice...
"That $.08 increase in primers is really making me mad"

The cost of meat is way up.
And its all the fault of the cattlemen and meat companies.

The cost of gas is way up and its the gas companies.

The cost of fertilizer (petroleum based ) is way up. Its the fertilizer companies and the diesel fuel companies causing farmers to raise prices.

So corn, wheat, beans are all up.

Have you stayed at a hotel lately.....Used to be $70 to 80 bucks, now $125.

Its those no good greedy hoteliers.....

There is a root cause or causes for all this. Policies and leadership matter. Making bad decisions and blaming business and industry is easy enough, but look behind curtain 1, 2 and 3.......

Not saying cost increases in reloading components is justified
or not due to greed or profiteering.
Definitely dont buy anything from Gunbroker unless you are just life and death desparate.

But, when you shut down drilling, you close approved and even existing pipelines, you have a Holy War on the energy business and on whole industries and businesses and employers with the cost of labor or inability to hire anyone, you raise taxes, spend like drunken sailors, and cause general economic mayhem, and then say,

Hey its all your fault....You cant raise prices! That steak, bread, corn flakes, gasoline, nor powder and primers cant go up!

You bad people for raising prices cause I took away yore fuel, your labor, and hurt your business.

Business tries to survive by raising prices. Farmers and Ranchers too.
It all snowballs into "expectations"
Prices are going up. We have to stay ahead of it. This is an inflationary cycle driven by govt. policy and decisions. Sure there is greed and "glom on". That's part of the cycle physcology, and a whatever the market will bear result of inflation.

I have said before and still believe, this is not going away until we change the govt., change direction, and bring in the firefighters and rescue crews to fight the flames of inflation.

Its not transitory. Its become endemic. Its gonna take a war on inflation to tamp it down......

But, my point is dont make bad crazy decisions at high level that drive inflation and then turn around and blame businesses for having to raise prices......

There is some greed, yes, but it did not start there, and its not the root cause.....that part is a "glom on" .

Talk to a cattleman.. you may retract that first little bit

Talk to a cattleman.. you may retract that first little bit

Here's the graphic. Look at last 5 years for Live Cattle.

Average price probably 110 to 115 on the hoof, what cattlemen were getting, now up over 140 ish. see link below.

https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/commodities/le

I know Cargill, and others in the industry are under fire for gouging, and there probably is some of that glom on going on, but
the basic cost to produce beef is way up at the grass roots level---no pun intended

 

[zr600]

Farmers don't get to choose there prices. It's market price. Sure they can sign contracts specially with crops.

Ya know, I'm from Texas and I know lots of cattlemen.......my cousins raise some cattle. They was only getting like 70 cents at one point per lb. and was just belly aching something awrful! Now look at them, new boots, new spurs, new saddles, hell they are
regular drug store cowpokes with a chaw can in their rear pockets!

But, I don't like it one bit when I go down to the specialty butcher for a big occasion, and I want to order some bone-in Tomahawk
Ribeyes to smoke on Pecan, and they tell me it will be $70 a steak for the 2.5 inch thick steaks I bought 2 years ago for $30 each.
$70 for a cut of raw meat and it aint even that fancy Waygu bull! No way, I smoked a honey glazed ham instead!

My ole truck has over 212,000 on it too! Yep, I do understand and get impacted by inflation and greed everyday, and its not just
reloading or shooting either! My HOA wants to increase dues by 100% this year! Talk about glom on! I don't need to see no
street butification! Every one of us has a cross to bear in this life.......and only a few gets chaw cans in their rear jean pocket.

The cattle guys are still getting hammered. It's not the ones raising the cattle making the money, it's the 5 people between the cattle auction and the meat shelf at the super market that are getting rich!
