I looked into this when I thought about selling some. Seems to be very hard to do. Evodentislk from what I read it is more than just taking sone class. I saw $1100 quoted somewhere as the cost to be a compliant shipper. It seems the issue with primers is the possibility of chain detonation. Some of the Gunbroker sellers seem to be individuals, so I am betting they are shipping unlabeled or labeled as ammo. That carries legal penalties if caught. Seems a few people said some buyers were reporting people. So I decided not too sell any. Good luck

You hear it every once in a while. I am betting a guy with ungrateful kids or none and a good amount of money. A really good gesture no matter what. I just hope it really helps some of the people. The cynic in me wonders how many had stuff in there that really shouldn't have been because they have more critical things to pay for. Either way Merry Christmas to them. Been a while, but I remember the days of layaway to afford a surprise for the kids or wife.

@CrosbyStills After your safe pics... I now must hate you...

My wife would use one to drown me if I told her it was her Christmas gift. Seen the same think here, Oddly on a recent Dollar General stop almost all the paper towels were gone, but the TP was full. I have bought more than we used to keep of both, but it is mostly due to storage space. Also humans survived a long time without either, so I am not too worried about it. People need to worry m9re about stocks of food. I see people rushing to buy TP that I know have less than a week of food MAX.

That is very depressing to hear.

I ran into Win M855 5.56 at Academy in Johnson City last night at $10 per 20 round box. Limit 3 boxes. Not far off from what pre-panic prices were since this is not the cheapest stuff. But I bet the 50 boxes were gone before they closed. My normal pick up there used to be Tula or their Monarch at $5 or $6 per box. Not as cheap as buying bulk, but sometimes easier to swing 5 boxes of that at a time especially after all the online places had to start collecting tax.

And he cannot lie..... Please return to your regularly scheduled discussion

I read that with no context and I did not take it AT ALL like it was meant.... @bersaguy Good looking dog. The Lab/Sheppard mix we have had just less than a year and is still in full pup mode. Too much energy for me some days. Glad my son is the main caretaker.

We did just the immediate family at home since my in-laws understandably canceled theirs. Splurged and got a prepped meal from an upscale place. Took the stress off the wife and got some different stuff. The wife did make her homemade holiday rolls. Meal said it would feed 6, but we will probably still get 6 more meals out of it after we 4 ate. So we had turkey, mashed potatoes, macaroni & smoked gouda cheese (with bacon ), chestnut oregano stuffing, green bean casserole, sweet potatoe casserole, and white chocolate cheesecake. Kids were a bit bummed not seeing everyone, but that is the 2020 mood. I will take bummed and healthy over the alternative.

That they suck, but are still the largest platform online to sell things at the moment. I have been able to sell everything on there from an old Harley gas tank to a prepaid cell phone. Right now, I can sell it, print a label, and put it at my mailbox and never have to go to the post office. That is why people are still selling on it. Plus, same as Gunbroker in that I don"t have to go meet a guy in a parking lot and the potential buyer pool is much larger. I see them staying the dominant auction platform for a while. Like corporations in other industries, they tend to buy or run start up competitors out of business. They have a 25 year headstart on everyone else. Starting back then was a huge advantage. Now just getting seen without tons of money and social media is hard, let alone getting remembered.

Well I found large pistol magnum primers online today. I didn't know the difference either, but I bought 500. lol

Hope you are well soon.

They tend to knock ads off when other people complain. I had some software I was selling at one point and I really think a competitor reported the item, not some software company that had been closed for years. And all their things seem inconsistent. I sold a phone as non-working/for parts in THAT category and when the buyer complained they tried to make me refund him. They would have if he had returned it to me, but he could not because he had already shipped it out if the country and was just fishing for a free item. If he had I would have been out shipping. One move eBay is good for is to pull your auction right at the end after it has a bunch of bids. Even had one I bought pulled AFTER I paid. Luckily seller followed through.

Yeah, that is cool. I probably have enough materials around to make it. Wife keeps talking about moving the treadmill to the basement. Maybe I need to move that along. I am no where close to needing that much capacity right now though. I have yet to load my first cartridge, so maybe I wait until I see if I need it.

I have a treadmill, it about shakes the entire house. Not sure the wife would like that. Interested how it works though. Got any pics? I had read about the lizard bedding. May have to try it, not finding much media locally. Ever used any Harbor Freight media. Also, can you just use corn cob to do it all? I was thinking of putting the tumbler in a plastic bin with a small hole for the cord and setting outside the garage. Unfortunately that is right below our bedroom window, but would isolate it from the house slab and flooring.

So since I have ventured into reloading, I find that I need a tumbler and media before I start using a lot of the range brass I have. Not much to discuss on types because most are sold out. I can find these 2. Anyone got experience of reason to go with one or the other? The Hornady is $20 more where i can find it and says it has a sifter. Other than that look the same to me.

Yesterday (11-18-20) at Academy in Johnson city there was NO ammo on the shelf. Normally there has been a box or 2 of some odd stuff but not even a box of .350 Legend. The other night I bought a pack of .22 short and saw a couple boxes of odd ball calibers.

Just ordered 1000 Large Rifle for $50. Barely got my order in before it sold out. Got 500 Large Pistol for $25 too. Maybe I need ot put them on Gunbroker. lol

My neighbors hate my huge mature trees. I gave up and have to bag I have so many. Mulching just doesn't hack it. Never thought I would be bagging 1.5 acres... If not I pretty much have no grass left in the spring. Wish I could get out in the woods. Looking like my annual hunt with Dad will be a no go since it requires us to travel, stay in a hotel, and eat out for 3 days. I don't want Dad exposed to anything the way his health is.

And Jeopardy will never be the same...

Or a good AK back when they were just import surplus.

Shame on you...

I have a .357 Rossi too that I like along with a few Winchesters. Plus a Marlin Model 39 Carbine made between '63 and '67 because those were the only years they made it.

I will have to remember that. Of course with the new Gun/Auto/paint counter in one of our Wal-Marts, it is now wait for them to get done with the 8 people checking out at auto so they can go out the back door. Does anyone else have a Wal-Mart that made that counter setup change?

We ended up with ZERO like usual. Pretty much normal here. First few years in the house we decorated a bunch, much to the horror rest of the street that thinks Halloween is evil. Over the years we just stopped. Since the rest of the street is a bust, it is a dead end next to a much larger, wealthier subdivision, and no one can see our house from the main road, we get no one. In about 20 years we might have had 10 kids. Part were family and I think 5 came one year. The apartments we lived in right after getting married had at least 50 every year. My kids are too old to Trick or Treat now. So my wife bought some of the pottery you paint and drop off to be run through the kiln. 3 of the 4 of us painted several Halloween themed items. Was fun. We did similar at Easter.
