My understanding is that everything has gone up from the manufacturers to the distributors. I know a FFL holder that told me he sold a 8lb keg of powder for $800 on gunbroker within minutes of posting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like they keep dry fuckin guys but have a solid supply line, so we / they keep letting them. Except for some of the big chain stores who had long-term contracts in place, everyone is pretty much feeling the increase. Manufacturers raised their prices because they can't produce the quantities needed to cover their costs and lower prices. Labor/material shortages/reductions due to large unemployment payouts, actual Covid-19 illness, and politics have created a situation where we are having uneven inflation. When people stop buying due to panic, speculation, and/or actual need the firearm industry will "catch up" and begin to settle back down. Most people by now have sufficient for their actual needs. Some people learned from the past and when prices became extremely reasonable they purchased in excess, not causing any increase in pricing but, buying some of the surplus production. To be angry with them is wrong because they had no negative impact on the current situation and actually help keep current demand off the limited supply chain when they offer some of their supplies. But ultimately, this is a free country and most of what is sold on this site is NOT a true necessity, but discretionary. We are all fortunate that we have the right and the ability to sell or actually afford to buy those items that are NOT available in most other countries in the world. I, myself, am grateful to be here and able to both buy and sell to fit my wants and "needs". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They’re $33 but by the time you add $16 for hazmat and $10 for shipping, it adds up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, if Bruno's does not have as much product to sell at lower margins then they have to sell their limited inventory at higher margins to pay their costs and keep their doors open.

Just seems people are very quick to judge and get nasty, and they forget that very, very, few are actually making a lot of money. I haven't been a huge recipient, have you been? And I know a lot of guys who are scrambling to keep their employees employed. Tough times for everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10Turkeys Report post Posted January 5, 2021 I dont own any stock in Brunos, but from what I understand the reason he has powder when nobody else has it, is that he will pay more to get it, and of course the cost is added on to the consumer. So what does one do? Keep enough supplies on hand, so when something like this happens, it won't matter, pay the going rate, or cry. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Presmyk Report post Posted January 5, 2021 The local Walmart gets h1000, varget, rl19,22 and Imr and the most $ a lb is 32$ a lb for the h1000 and that was 3 weeks ago so I'm not sure who is actually setting these steep prices, unless they have to pay a higher price to be on a priority list maybe?
