Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Midway shows Winchester USA Ready large pistol or small pistol at 79.99/1000 Federal Large pistol magnum at 99.99/1000, large pistol at 89.99/1000, small pistol magnum at 79.99/1000 CCI small pistol at 89.99/1000, Large pistol magnum at 79.99/1000 Brownells is similar. Powder Valley is about 75/1000 for most brands/types Of course none are currently available. Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dog Doug Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I was happy to pay $750 for 10000 small winchesters now I just hope I live long enought to use all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Sorry to hear you are retiring from CAS. I would price them at the best prices you see at the biggest online retailers like Brownells, MidwayUSA, Natchez etc. You will be doing them a favor due to no shipping, hazmat, or tax. Plus actually having them. If they think that is too much, then they may find themselves shooting .22's before prices maybe come down somewhat.

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Reasonable is what they were selling for when they were in stock. Normal right now is closer to 100.00/1000 if you can find them. Kind of depends on how long ago you bought them and if you need the money, or just want to give some of your shooting buddies a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Depends. You can charge what the traffic will bear, or for friends, somewhat less. It's up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanigan Flats Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Ike please PM if you have any large pistol primers. I’ll be your Huckleberry for all we can afford. Probably need small pistol to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 100/K seems to be going rate. And I’m sure you will have buyers at that price, especially with no tax/shipping etc. But…..if you have 35/K in them, selling to Pards at cost would be a nice thing to do. I sold 3K to a teacher shooter for 33/K back when they were really stupid, (in the 300/K range) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 For me part of it depends on how much you have. If I had a substantial number to get rid of I'd prefer to split them up to more people as opposed to someone wanting every primer you've got. If I'm giving someone a really good deal it's for them to continue shooting matches, not so they can flip them for $100. I could do that myself. I've sold a couple of thousand to friends for $40. Before Christmas I put 2,000 primers in a plastic grocery bag and quickly put them in the shooting cart of a couple that I enjoy seeing out shooting together. I said Merry Christmas but don't mention it t o anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Haller Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Got a friend getting into shooting and reloading in Sparks, please let me know when you decide to sell; I'm sure she'd like to buy some small pistol primers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rance - SASS # 54090 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I was asked a couple years ago from a friend about this very thing.. I had some Federal small pistol.. Like now you couldn't find them anyplace.. I told him I would check 4 different dealers prices.. (all of them out of stock of course) and average their prices.. he agreed.. said it seemed fair.. We did business.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Around here most folks would be happy to get them at $100/1000. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Why not locate a few new shooters and sell them for what you paid for them? Yes they are worth twice what you paid for them but locally we have more than one new shooter that cannot shoot because they cannot find any primers at any cost. Good Karma is always repaid 10 fold.

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 There was a time when primers could not be found. While one's favorite primer might not be available, there are VERY often usable primers available now (right now Natchez and Midway both have CCI small rifle, which is what I'm currently using). People may not want to pay the higher price due to hazmat and shipping, but that is their choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.S. Sooner, SASS #73526 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 A local shooter wasn't reloading anymore. He had another shooter bring them to a match last summer and sold them for $40/1,000. Wanted to get what he had in them and help other cowboy shooters.

Three Foot Johnson Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Scheel's in Great Falls last week had the shelves full, but only CCI, Cheddite, and Federals. CCI large & small pistol - $84.99/1000 CCI small rifle - $99.99/1000 CCI-41 "machine gun" primers - $109.99/1000 Federal large pistol - $84.99/1000 Cheddite shotgun/rifle/pistol - all $69.99/1000 Depending on mid-terms and 2024, I think we'll see prices settle around $59.99 in another year or two.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I would say a fair price would be $60:/1000. That’s cheaper than most places and you’ll make a little money depending on when you bought them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a Cowboy that had back surgery and has been selling his for $100/1000 and those who need them are glad to get them. I don’t think you’ll have any trouble selling them at that price.

I did the same, letting others have some primers to play with to then replace them someday. Out of 10,000 only about 3,000 are still out there. If I had been that concerned that I wouldn't get them back I would not have "loaned" them in the first place. Gets really lonely shooting by yourself so keeping your pards in the game is worth it in spite of having a few primers go missing.

Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Sell them for whatever they can drive to a LOCAL dealer, WHO HAS THEM IN STOCK, for whatever the LOCAL dealer is selling them for less sales tax. That would be a very fair price. Doesn't matter what dealers on the internet are selling them for, because when you get done paying cost plus shipping, hazmat, and sales tax, will probably be more than buying them from a local dealer. Doesn't matter what the price was pre-Covid, just like what the price was for gasoline or food or homes or anything else. Heck, that price may be less than you paid for them if you bought them recently. I am a large mom and pop, brick and mortar retail store dealer in AZ, and I just paid $63.82 plus HAZMAT for Federal #200 Small Pistol Magnum primers. And was glad to get them.

If you doubt my word, ask those in Texas that received Fed Primers as shooter prizes from me. I never sold South American primers that had a realized failure rate of nearly 10% for $100/1k.
