How Ridiculous is This?

[snakebit]

I would buy mine at local Wall Mart. One year a guy from the hardware store bought them all and marked them
up %150 in his store. The next year when they came out I bought them all right in front of him. He started whining
so I pointed out what he had done. He whined a little more and followed me out. Thought we were going to get
into it in the parking lot, nothing happened. He was parked two cars down and went back to the hardware store.
I know because I followed him. This year Wall Mart employees told me they were not carrying ML stuff anymore.
All they have left is two inline MLs. This sucks.

I hope people found out about this and a spend their money elsewhere. I'm all for supporting small businesses, but when they do crap like that, makes me wonder.

It is stuff like this that keeps my flinter working overtime. I use brass shim stock to roll my own for the six guns. I recently added an inline that uses shotgun primers.
Things are getting silly!

It says they are magnum 11s I don’t see magnum anywhere on them.

The seller is obviously referring to the Price!

What thickness works best from the brass shim stock?

And the seller Thanks you for leaving them on the hook at Walmart!

I think your smart to cover the bases at this point in time. If you limit yourself to one traditional niche disappointment can follow. While I will continue to shoot mostly flinters, I too want to insure I have other options.

I bought some #11 at Bass Pro about two months ago!!!!!! $13.00/100. Purchased online, shipped to store free.

Geez didn't know about this. I shoot only flintlocks. But a year ago I bought out an estate and their was several # 11 tins in a box, maybe thirty or so of mixed variety. CCI, Remington an others. Guess I best hang on to them...

Yep. Legalized gouging. Remember when all the "get rich quick" guys were doing that with .22 ammo.

That is not gouging. I consider it a tax on the stupid. More power to the seller!

 

[B P Arn]

I was going through the milk crate with my shooting supplies. Found 15 tins of CCI's I forgot I had. NOBODY wants to know what the price on the boxes was. Probably better for my health if I don't give that info out.

I couldn't care less what you paid for them.

You can not tell someone else how much money to make. But you do not have to help him make it.

perhaps they meant 34.99 and got fumble fingered?

Have anyone been to a live auction that has any kind of guns up for sale. I was at a auction today and a 22 heritage pistol that you can buy at Rual King anyday for under $150 dollars went for $350. Two Rugers 22 went for even more. These were used guns to boot.

started making my own during the not so pandemic pandemic Now I get 1500 for $20

Not surprised that folks have ‘high’ asking prices, though I am a bit surprised when items sell for those prices. But not real surprised. The market will set the price paid, that pesky supply and demand thing.

Then the Irish made an example of one Captain Boycott, coining a new term in addition to making an example of him; seems to have been forgotten nowadays; athough more recently in New York City......

I quit going to auctions many years ago. The last one I went to was ridicules prices. They had sold an item and came back after putting up a couple more and asked for the guy who bought to come up. They told him it wasn't supposed to have been sold it was broken asked if he still wanted it. He said no so they put it back up for sale pointing out it was broken. Well same guy was high bidder again only the second time he bid even more than he bid originally.

There is a very occasional auction nearby. I like it because you can preview the guns before the sale starts. If none of them interest me I skip the sale.

Sometimes auction turn into a competition and things go for crazy amounts.

I don't trust myself at auctions.
