Well when I read there was a shortage on primers I had less than 3 bricks total on hand. I picked up about 15 or more bricks ranging between $22 to $39.99 per brick in the last month. Three bricks of Remington 7 1/2 and 9 1/2 at $22 and the rest CCI at $39.99. CCI’s in SP, MSP, MLP, LR, and MLR. I did pick up a brick of Federal LP primers for $39 as well. I lost count buying them to be honest. I don’t shoot competition but I can say now I will not ever have to worry about primers for a long, long time now. I at least have enough to trade back and forth for differ sizes if it ever gets really bad. Probably could sell one brick on GB and make enough profit to pay for all the ones I bought. If Biden wins the election the primer buyers will panic even more so I’ll wait till the panic peaks before I decide if I want to part with any. I’m sure I won’t. I can bet you after the panic is over you’ll be hard pressed to to see an average cost of a brick of primers under $39.99. My LGS has been selling them along with Cabelas for $39.99 a brick for the last 3 to 4 years as do 99% of the other places I shop. The prices of the 90’s and early 2000’s are gone in afraid. You can always camp out at Sportsman’s warehouse like your trying to get concert tickets for the low ball internet prices they offer with no inventory or buy cheap on line and get gouged double the price for hazmat. Especially now with Remington being bankrupt. We will see if who ever buys them decides to ever produce the unicorn $22 a brick primers again that Sportsman's wholesales to the public . I will just keep buying them as long as they are under $40 a brick whether I need them or not because imo they will be equivalent to the price of gold in few more months.
