[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 2129620, member: 112192"] I hate gouging as much as the next guy, and generally won't support businesses that engage in it after things settle back down, but I do understand it to a degree because it's pretty basic economics where the consumer sets the price. If nobody would pay over $50 for a brick of primers, guess what the price of primers would be? We're our own worst enemy in this ... or at least those of us paying these ridiculous prices are. There's also the issue of small businesses needing to increase prices to keep their doors open. They used to sell $40 bricks all day but with supply being so low they would quickly go out of business if they maintained that price point. I don't like it, but I also want my local shops to be there on the other side of this. The fall out from Sandy Hook is all it took for me to understand I needed to be my own supply chain and therefore I'm prepared to weather this storm and resupply only when things calm back down.
