[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 284785, member: 11717"] Maybe you misunderstand me Steve. I am not in favor of government(communism/socialism) intervention (unless some law has been broken) Anyone has the right in most cases to sell whatever they have for whatever they want to. But I think If someone who sells primers normally for $25-$30/1000 and is already making a profit on that, jacks up the price to $80/1000 because of a shortage situation, then that IMO is greed. One local store here, which I will not name, got some GMFed125M's in and almost double the normal selling price to $50/1000. Maybe their supplier jacked the price on them? I should probably ask, but if they were the ones that doubled the price, I think that's greed and I'll remember it. They have every legal right to sell those primers for whatever they want and I have every right not to buy my goods elsewhere. If all our components were doubled and trippled in price a lot of us wouldn't be able to afford to hand load. There are LRH memebers selling off their rifles because of tough times. When I see that and then I see someone trippling the price for components to make a killing it rubs me, but hey, that's just me. My opinion again is just because it's capitalism and just becasue it's legal doesn't make it right. One of the strategies of the antis is to drive the cost of shooting so high through taxes and regualtions that it becomes unaffordable. Heck, they dont have to bother... we are doing it to ourselves. I'm not sure why you're asking about gas because I think that is a prime example of what I am talking about, only to a worse degree. In that case I believe prices are being manipulated (not fair market capitalism) by greedy corps and oil producers. To some people on fixed incomes, those prices force them to make choices of which bills to pay and which not to pay. For me (a construction contractor) driving an F250 getting 12 mpg, gas prices are a big deal and in some cases it makes me uncompetitive and my business suffers. Once again, I'm not talking about structuring prices. I'm just exercising my 1st Amendment right of free speech to point out greed when I see it. And I'll exercise my right to buy where I want.
