    OMG! eBay has just bumped CTD out of top price guaging site

    All I can say is charging the $10 shipping on the Lee 2 cavity mold you are selling for $124 seems.... words fail me. Wow. Wonder if it comes with flowers and chocolates?


    Lee TL356-124-TC .356 124 Grain Double 2 Cavity Bullet Mold 9mm 380 38 Brand New
    Condition: New

    $125.00 + $10.00 Shipping

    Est. Delivery Tue, Nov 3
    Ships from United States
    Daughter in Law picked a bad time to buy a 9mm Sig because my components for 9mm are more accidental, just in case, or because maybe someday I will use them. I don't load for it. I had to find some dies (got Hornady new retail for same price as Lee) have a few hundred .326 bullets and brass which is good because buying that stuff right now is nuts.

    I watched primers go up during scarcity periods and post scarcity (market saturation) prices came down but not ALL the way down. I'm seeing $5 per hundred prices now which is a pretty significant price increase from the high 30's and low 40's prices recently available.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

    They will get a rude awakening after casting up their new boolits, then trying to order primers.

    As I just really can't see a long time reloader spending this kind of money on a Lee mold.

    I have a number of Lee molds, but I assure you, I didn't give $125 and shipping for them, well, maybe 5 of them together.

    Who buys primers 100 at a time! I can't even imagine me doing that. I have some moulds I just don't use, maybe it is a good time to e-scalp them.

    I’ve never paid more than $25 shipped for a 2 cavity lee...and still won’t. I did pay $40 for a 240 grain HP .430” used from a member here a few years back. With bow hunting season go on and gun season coming up I wouldn’t have time to mess with the amazon back ordered mold till it arrives anyway.I bought a brick of SP primers the other day for $39. I might go buy a brick of SMP for the same amount since that’s all they have in stock. I’ll just keep my loads under max with the magnum primers.

    If you look on ebay and just about anything 9mm the prices are all jacked up. Lee die sets are $150...and then some...on a few listings.

    Im just looking for one to modify myself but would prefer one that for some reason is no good but can still be used to cast plugs. But I never paid more than maybe $30 for each of mine. Im sure I don't have as many as others but I do have prob 15 or so.

    I just ran over to the LGS and bought the last 700 CCI SMP primers they had for $33 tax in. They had 8 bricks there for the last three weeks and are only open 2 days a week. I didn’t go there last Wednesday. Between last Wednesday and this morning someone cleaned them out even with one brick per day purchase. I have a brick of CCI SP peoners I bought two weeks ago from them for $39.99 so 1700 should last me a while with only 2 pistols in my arsenal that require them. I figured at the rate we are going if I don’t need them I could make a house payment with the profits.lol

    Why even bother at that point? Buy a 5 cavity Arsenal mold and you'll still have enough left over to take the family out for burgers.

    You would think people would have sense enough to at least look up the price of what they are bidding on before paying 5 or 6 times what a new item would cost. But, ebay constantly proves me wrong.
