All goods are scarce, some just more so than others.
I just wish the retailers would be smart enough to raise prices to control the panics rather than let their shelves go bare.
Unfortunately the shooting community gets angry and vengeful instead of being happy that products are available and go where they are valued most.
I'd be happy to pay $50 a pound for pistol powder right now. And if this continues, I'd be happy to pay $100 a pound.
that's about ass backwards, inmo, of course. why would you be happy to pay 4 times what any product is worth. A hack dealer at the last gun show in Raleigh had 8lb jugs of autocomp for 340.00 as bad as I needed it, I told him where he could put it. the following week I found some on the shelf at a local shooting supply store for 165.00. That is who I will gladly do business with, not the butthole doubling the price.
