New Primer Notification Tool

[BigJohnson2]

And if people would stop paying the ridiculous prices the scalpers are charging, you'd see the prices drop
dramatically.

And if everyone would quit smoking, drinking and overeating our health insurance costs would drop significantly. None of this is going to happen though.

 

[BigJohnson2]

Can anyone explain how the scalpers are getting the drop on most everything? What exactly is it they are able to do?

it’s their “job”, they have nothing else to do.

There’s a guy on discord who brags regularly about all the money he’s making buying and selling primers. He probably has multiple accounts/addresses to get around limits.

I hope my brick of primers actually ships from Brownells. It's still being processed and shows it being allocated plus the notification this AM for a few more CCI 400s might mean they had a few left from yesterday. I got my fingers crossed anyway. I want to be able to give some primers to my friend that I built an AR for. I got him to watch the reloading series by Elfster on Youtube and he's raring to start reloading. I gave him some powder, bullets, and brass so he just needs primers.

I think there are guys on the Hide also using Primer Primer and several of them got their order through but later got an order canceled email. Looks like most of those were guys ordering the 5K box. Maybe the scalpers all jumped on the 5Ks and made it tougher to get those?

I ordered a number of 5k boxes and there appear to be allocated and processing.

Spoke with brownells and they said if your order is in progress and allocated there's a very good chance it is getting to you.

Reading your comments here it appears that you and your friends are buying all the stock that your customers are paying you to inform them about. I could be wrong but that’s my perception.

Brownells had 2.5M+ primers in Yesterday.
I wish I had enough purchasing power to make a dent in that.

No doubt, I use the service, I built it because I needed it.
But be rest assured, there is no unfair advantage, or anything where it texts me first, then y'all.
I am just signed up as a user just like the rest.

Additionally, I only purchase from Brownells.

I just checked Brownells and the status changed to shipped!!
Just sent an email to my friend that I got him some primers.
Next I hope I can get some Fed 205s for my BR and PPC.

Thank you, Storm!

Love to hear it.

Thank you for your support.

And if IFS were buts and my aunt had nuts, she'd be my uncle too!

Hi all,

The new distributed notification system is now up.

You should have gotten a text just now from a 1-8XX number, that will be your new PrimerPrimer number.

This should increase our throughput of sending by a really good margin.

Hope y'all have a relaxing Sunday.

Dam......I didn’t recognize the number so I deleted it.

Storm, was the alert yesterday a fluke or something? I opened the link within 4 seconds of receiving the text but they were gone. Just wondering if you had any info thanks.

Yes I received the alert on the new number also. Out of stock.

Midway had a few different primers this morning but no texts were received.

cci 500, 200, BR4, 41
Fed 100, 205, 205MAR, 205M,
Winchester 1 1/2, 6 1/2,

prices a bit high...

So the Midway ping last night, at around 7PM central was an error, to prevent further error pings I took down midway so I could edit the code and fix it.

So when midway appeared to get a primers in stock this morning the midway portion of our scraper was not running and down for maintenance.

Bad timing, sorry guys.

 

[Storm_]

Oh well, stuff happens but what a bad coincidence since primers coming in stock hasn't been happening very often. But maybe primers will be like powder and the frequency will increase. Thanks for the hard work Ben.

Thank you

I almost got the CCI 41s from Midway just now - was at the last step before paying and they ran out...

Also FWIW, PrimerPrimer beat the email alert by about a minute.
