Don't remember this kind of reloading supply shortage before

[Bc'z]

Scalping concert tickets is not capitalism,
Neither is buying components and marking them up for profit.
That's called price gouging.
Most states have laws against businesses doing this.
Individuals feel they are exempt.
I pray they get left holding the bag so to speak.
I'll continue to help fellow shooters with what I have to spare at my cost.

I will as well my friend and appreciate all the help others have given me. You are right about price gouging ,... that’s not right I shouldn’t have said it in that way, I shouldn’t even be commenting just get tired of the sniveling!... there’s things I want I can’t get right now too and it’s not all just gun stuff.

@bozo699 I appreciate you for helping others and for not thinking my last post was directed at you.
I was being my normal opinionated self.

Thanks for looking out for your fellow shooters.
If we all stick together and help one another, we'll all get through this.

It was the same thing with toilet paper. People hear there is a shortage so they buy TP even if they dont need it. Finally when they decide you know I’ve probably got enough TP to last 6 months and they quit panic buying lo and behold supply catches up. Calm down. Buy something if you really need it not because your afraid you wont be able to get it and things will get back to normal much quicker.

Wel,
It’s funny you mentioned that!... when the toilet paper pandemic hit our area I never bothered even looking for any! I live with two women so I’m always prepared!... I would conservatively say I have 200 rolls here at the ranch in my store room and that many more paper towels!... they don’t know I have it and she’s the type to buy 1 roll at a time so she was in a panic!... I never told her how much I had on hand but I would bring her a roll each day until it was on the shelves again lol
I have several cases of baby wipes as well that has no alcohol in them,.. I don’t even know why I have it but anyway I was at cosco getting dog food and this young couple was frantically looking fir non alcohol baby wipes as there baby was allergic and toilet paper too,... there was none on the shelves!... I asked them for there address I think they thought I was weird but they give it to me,... I showed up that afternoon with a case of baby wipes and toilet paper!... that poor young lady started crying and everything she couldn’t believe someone would do that for someone else and even more when I wouldn’t take anything for them just told her to share with her friends if they were in need as well. Got a super nice Christmas card from them the other day
Happy New Year to you all.

You sound like a hell of a guy, thanks for being one of the good guys and giving me a little more faith in humanity for 2021.
I had an older gentleman reach out to me yesterday looking for some Retumbo because he knew Ive been looking as well. I found 25 pounds this week and I gave him a couple pounds for free and I thought he was going to cry. 2020 has sure made some grown men act different, some for the better and some for the worse but if I die tomorrow I want to be remembered as a giver and not a taker.. God Bless everyone and may 2021 be the best year of y’all’s life!!!!
