Not sure if this is allowed, but I'm going to put this out there.

I buy n sell a massive amount of reloading equipment, components, presses, etc.

I love coming here on VGT to find deals, swap, trade, sell, with local guys, especially powder and primers.

Unfortunately I continue to see for sale ads, with constant bumps, sometimes for months and months, with no movement.

When this happens, your pricing is too high, we are NOT in covid anymore. Everything has come back down. I just bought 20k primers, shipped to my house for 3.5 cents a piece. $60-$80 per 1k primers are long gone.

I have a ton of stuff that I would love to buy in here, but the pricing is so unreasonable, I dont even want to make a fair offer based on other comps. (Other forums, mewe, brian enos, 1911 forums, ar15.com, etc, etc)

Just my 2 cents, but its not just one person, for some reason, this forum is usually crazy high on pricing.

Hope this helps some of you move some items, and look up pricing on items for comparable sales.

Thanks for my ted talk

Many folks base their pricing on what they see on Gunbroker, but sellers on GB increase their price to cover the fees. So if a VGT seller is basing price on a GB item it will tend to be higher than the " book used" price.

I think you're only seeing the ones that are overpriced or rare, there are lots of things that get posted and bought/traded the first day.
