Cap shortage profiteering...

Words fail me...

Notice that there are no bids.

These people will be like my now dead ***** father in law. When the last gun/ ammo panic hit, he cleaned out his savings and bought so much ammunition he had to rent storage space. Wound up giving most of it away when things returned to normal. eBay sellers I have no use for anymore. Well, actually I have no use for 90% of people these days.....

Takes two to tango. If the seller and buyer are happy, who are we to complain. Felt crazy when I bought 5k caps for $0.056 a piece delivered to my door a little over a month ago. Might turn out to be a deal. Jury is still out.

I just imagine someone purchasing these caps and then while he's waiting on them to arrive he stumbles across a bunch at a local gun store for $5/tin.

 

[Smokey Plainsman]

Hey, if someone is willing to pay that much than more power to them.

Quite frankly if someone is stupid enough to buy those caps for that insane price then it’s only their own fault for not researching (and using common sense) to know they’re grossly overpaying for them.

The seller is doing nothing wrong here. He is simply offering an item for sale at a price most informed people would never pay. If someone buys it, that’s on THEM.

If it were for medicine or food, I get it, but percussion caps are a recreational item and are a WANT and not a NEED.

 

[Bad Karma]

He may well sell them at that price. Which is fine I suppose, I just don’t care for folks who would use a crisis, or the appearance of one, for such an insane profit.

My local place for reloading supplies has several boxes of 1000 #10s like 8 or 9 dollars a hundred I dont use 10s and doubt most folks who go there shoot caplock.

 

[Smokey Plainsman]

Apparantly Remington ammo lines are back to production and I’m praying that included their #10 cap. The finest about IMHO.

Hmmm

That's just sad

Jesus Wept.

Scalpers they are..thats why there is a ammo shortage...guys buying them that dont even own guns to auction off.a BIG eastern company K.T.P did a story on this..in october these guys were showing up every day waiting to buy all the ammo that they stocked for the store.The employes started looking at the auction sights and found the ones that were in the stores auction.2 BOX LIMIT NOW.

 

[jj500]

Wonder if he is going to charge the HazMat fee also? Is someone that stupid to buy those,why YES they are,just look around you and see it everyday!

 

[Treestalker]

You said it all, man!

 

[bakerjw]

None of our local gun stores have any. I just bought 2,000 for $150.00. With shipping it likely was about 9 cents each.
but it gave me another reason to pick up an 1851 Navy .36...

ETA... For whatever reason they were shipped sans hazmat fee. No label on the box. NADA... I did not complain as I did pay hazmat for the 5$ of powder the day before.

 

[csaduck]

It is nuts right now what people will pay for ammo, caps, powder, anything gun related. They have bidding wars the last few minutes of a auction.

people that gouge are the lowest form of life
