Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Depends. You can charge what the traffic will bear, or for friends, somewhat less. It's up to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanigan Flats Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) 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) Edited May 23 by Hoss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebite Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 100/1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 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. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacramento Johnson #6873 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rance - SASS # 54090 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) 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.. Edited May 24 by Rance - SASS # 54090 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Around here most folks would be happy to get them at $100/1000. Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) 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 Share Posted May 25 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
