Primers - At what point would you sell?

[Snowwolfe]

Was reading a similar topic on a different forum so thought it would be an interesting topic to discuss. Even though I am not trying to sell primers, I would sell any size for $250 a brick, cash, face to face sale. The last 1K of any size I would keep for myself and hope to restock when prices return to normal. Which is a gamble given the current situation.
How about you?

Funny you mention this because I was thinking the same thing the other day

Right now with instability, I am not letting go of any primers period.

I'm seeing them selling for over $200 for half a brick on Gunbroker and will admit to doing some quick calculations as to what I could make from selling off some of mine. But as you stated it is a gamble that things will ever return to normal again. Most likely they will but nobody knows that for certain. If sleepy joe shuts us all down for good, having a few thousand $'s in hand would seem like a mighty small gain for having lost the ability to make your own ammo for good. So for me, even if they went to $1,000 per brick of 1,000 primers I'm hanging on to everything I have as I always have. Heck, I just last week threw out the toothbrush I used in college.

I have a 1000 215 Gold Medal Match I might trade for some BR4s or 205 GMM but but I don't have any primers for sale for any price

I have absolutely nothing for sale. Wasn't that what the village idiot on Mel Brooks 'History of the World' was yelling?

Learned years ago never to sell anything I have. Would cost too much to replace it. With the shortage, this could take months.

Me personally, I wouldn't sell components right now. The money to be made will seem like pocket change if things really go south and you need them to make your own ammo. Just not worth it to me.

Plus, if I keep them, I can help a buddy or two out if things get worse.

My guess is they'll come back or if not it won't matter. Reloading supplies is on the banned list.

Probably the primers you have are the last you will ever have....unless you buy some from another reloader...

Never will sell anything related to shooting, hunting or fishing. Have done it in the past and regretted it ever since.
