Agree but coming down a bit is a far cry from what it cost just three years ago. If a pound of Folgers was $6.00 in March of 2020 and was $11.95 in march of this year but is now $10.95 and on sale at $9.95 (today) it is down a bit but still 50% over what it was three years ago. Ammunition for the common calibers has come down a bit. 9mm that was $9.95 a box in March of 2020 went up to $20 a box or higher. Saw it on sale for $14.95 a couple of days ago. So on sale it is still 30% higher than 2020 and that is on sale. I seriously doubt we will ever see prices like they were just a short three years ago. I honestly feel that or should say have no doubts that the retailers could sell it a lot cheaper but are keeping the prices high just because they can and people are willing to pay it so they will keep doing it.

Have posted this on multiple threads Muzzle-Loaders.com has CCI #11s in stock, have bought from them multiple times and they are very reputable. Caps are a little pricey but as of 10:30 pm on 7/18 they still have them in stock

I was buying gold for around $1300 per oz a couple years back - buying a few ounces here and there when I could afford them. Now it's almost two grand an ounce! It seems like everything is up about fifty percent. I'm not sure we're ever going back to where we were just three or four years ago...
I don’t think there’s a problem selling caps to one another? But if there is then forget this. I have 6 cans of RWS no 11s. I’d be happy to sell you a few as i don’t shoot my colts or Remington at all anymore. When I do shoot I shoot my flintlocks which as of late I don’t shoot as much as I would like to. I just try to maintain some proficiency with my plastic unmentionable. There too not enough range time. Send me a PM and I’ll sell you a tin or so. You can pay me after you receive them after all your a member by default I trust you will pay me. What ever it was I paid recently through Gaffs great family business. When you buy powder or caps only purchase from a reputable suppliers. There are so many today id bet most are scammers. Stick with Gaffs, Buffalo Arms, powder valley, midway I think even totw sells powder Dixie and other popular dealers. Problem is you will have to wait until august as i don’t keep caps and stuff here in ny. I’m going to the free state at the end of the month. The capper you purchased works i actually bought a small roll of copper the thickness of a soda can which I think is a better option than the aluminum which I think is too hard but they do work. McMasters and a search on the internet will find you the copper I prefer if you choose to go that route. If I can mail them you are welcome to them.
or Hunting or Camping or putting food on your table or taking a vacation. You name it. It COSTS more $$$ than it used to.
That big 4 pointer that you traveled MILES to hunt comes out to maybe $50.00 + a pound?? Better be worth it AND, it better be good.
My question would be whose ammo was it? What type? I've recently stopped using round nose ball ammo simply because it's not what I'd hopefully have loaded in time of emergency. And the $10 per box ammo shoots differently from the $150 per box of 50.
Just did an internet search for 9mm and the price per box of 50 starts at $10/box and goes to $165/box. For me I'll go with my carry round and order that. In the end I'll have a stock of what I want for carry and I'll be well practiced with it. Makes keeping track of my ammo supply a bit easier too.
Who has the strongest economy right now?

If its not the price or fear of being scammed - its that the shipping and taxes that are now prohibitive. Every thing i consider buying now goes through a cost/benefit analysis. Then there's the "I ain't paying that" mindset that many rightfully have even though they can easily afford to. Many small vendors are reporting low to zero sales which again affects what they buy. Wonder where this will lead.
Missing an important number, the populations generating the above numbers. How much of each GDP can be attributed an individual?
China has a GDP a bit more than 2/3 of ours. But they do it with several times the number of workers than we have. We're all things equal China would have a GDP several times larger than ours. That is a serious threat.
No, in order to get a Darwin Award, you have to die or render yourself incapable of reproducing. It might qualify for Honorable Mention though.

The good old days are gone, you want to participate you pay up. The bad part is even if things would go back to supply and demand the prices won't come down, perhaps a few cents here and there, but do we really think a seller who is moving items at today's prices will cut back prices in the future. Reason of thinking they paid this then so they will pay this now. Business owners are in the game to make money. I shoot a lot both BP and un-mentionable, seen this coming during the last election debates and stocked up, sitting right good for all my shooting needs and continue to add to the stock.
