It was $38 at Graf's n they got lots of them in. They sold out in 3 days, some big deep pocket folks bought them to resell for a high profit. Dang scalpers !
Or maybe people who just wanted to shoot their guns or hunt this fall ?
Thay would be lots of caps 100,000
I ordered some and Graff's would only let you order 3 cans. It seems to me scalpers are not involved.
Rws has always been over priced. Still have some and they offer no performance increase.
Better start checking your Walmarts for caps…this store in Northern KY has 6 tins available…$5.62 per tin.
I have plenty, I’ll leave them for you.

Mine in east Paducah does not even carry ML's anymore. They have those other type of boom sticks
That’s a mite presumptive.
I, for one, bought some because I plan to use them. Other posters plan to do the same.
Maybe , but 100,000 caps sold in 3 days. Of course they could have had that many buyers. Yet i have a good sense that people being what they are n so on !

The speculators as I call them, probably had family and friends buy more caps for them. Same situation occurred in the great 22 shortage around here. In one instance, the sporting goods MANAGER was in on it! She would tell customers there were no caps, 22lr, ect. Then hold it for her friends to buy up when they got to it. She then got her cut of the $$ later.

I hear that.
No Walmart that I have ever been to has sold caps of any make or model. I can't understand why Texas doesn't have enough demand.
Wouldn't happen to be near Florence would it? I work up the road in Erlanger.
That's only 100 people buying 1,000 each, not a large purchase for a shooter at all and some shooters use well over a thousand caps a year. My wife and I could use several thousand per year when we both were shooting all the skirmishes held at Ft. Shenandoah and practicing too. There are folks who have been watching for caps to come in for a long time and they jumped when they became available. If I remember correctly Back Creek sold out their first shipment in a weekend.
Now that caps are becoming available again the days of gouging should come to an end soon and the only folks getting gouged will be the ones not doing their homework.
I found some tins in Florence and the Alexandria store.
