I'm on their waiting list.
Money isn't the problem. I search every single day for Primers with no results.
Mr Wick, I get the feeling I failed to explain the issues well with my previous post regarding why you should try a third party automated search/notification service rather than just putting yourself on those wait lists at different supplier web sites. There is a night/day difference.
Like you, when I didn't find what I wanted in stock I used to put myself on those notices. I was typically already doing those things for as long as those web sites had the function and before this nonsense started up that more or less worked okay.
Along comes the start of the panic ahead of the last election, which was then followed with the escalation of the results and then again another escalation with Covid.
Like many who were used to the cycles and had anticipated these shortages, I was all set... or so I thought...
Along comes a parade of friends who suddenly want to load for odd calibers or friends who wanted to start loading for pistol. Their timing was bad.
But I already was familiar with the web sites and thought since I had notifications running I would eventually find what they needed. I was wrong.
By the time you get the email, stocks were zero and you were left in the dust.
Then some folks started using dedicated search servers to set up third party notification the second stocks of components were dropped, meaning available on those web sites.
To put it more simply, by the time you get a notification from those web sites, you are typically already too late.
The answer is Shootingbot.com coupled with Telegram. Even then, you have to jump and immediately order when it comes to certain primers or bullets that are very popular and in short supply.
You will get a Telegram text within milliseconds of the availability, with a hot link to the item on the seller's web site.
I suggest you know what the price should be and be ready because items disappear in minutes if they are things like primers at a fair price.
So, unless you feel like waiting till things roll back to the next new normal, you either learn to play the new game or you wait. YMMV
