What’s the current value of gently used, once-fired primers?

Shut your eyes.... dont look at it
That is pure insanity! I laughed at $40/k primers last week. F that noise.
I just happen to have some gently removed once fired small pistol primers for sale. Somewhere around 3300 pieces. I just decapped them in one sitting, about two hours.What’s the current value of gently used, once-fired primers?
Let the bidding begin.
OP
I got about 50lbs. Maybe I’m rich and don’t know itWhat’s the current value of gently used, once-fired primers?
I just saw a article from Jim's gun shop in Fayetteville stating that primers were the main reason they can't find ammo they're saying that it could be possibly three to four years before ammo gets back to where it's supposed to be All depending on several things. I sure am glad I stocked up early and not wait till the S hits the fan and then go crying cuz you can't find nothing. If I see ammo for sale at a decent price I'll buy it but if it's exorbitant I'll pass
It maybe true. We really have no idea at this point. There also seems to be a bottle neck at bullets. Bullet manufacturers cannot get them made fast enough. Lots of places have stopped taking orders so they can catch up.

Glad I stocked up a while ago. Also I have not been able to shoot much this summer. Hopefully that will change in September and I can get back to the range.

I was at Hyatt's today on the off chance they had any primers. They had large pistol, but they said they weren't expecting to see any small pistol for 6 months.

I think it was $39/k for Federal? No CCI. You can call them or check their web site. They have a dedicated guy to reloading. That's who I was talking to. He does their reloading ordering.
On a side note, He said he had a guy drive down from VA, who had bought 10boxes or 115gr Hornady bullets off their web site, thinking they were loaded ammo. He still had trouble comprehending it when he came to pick them up.

At $40/k Hyatt’s isn’t gouging...that’s 25% off the regular price.
I kid. Last week they had large rifle magnum in stock as well as large pistol. I was buying a few pounds of powder, now I don’t remember what.

I heard the same thing quoted by 2 different ammo manufactures here in the Carolinas. Defender in Fayetteville and Precision One in Charleston. Defender people told one of our friendly dealers that they had over 5 million primers on back order and no idea when they were coming in.

Bass Pro has a bargain at $61.49 per 1K. Of course they are out of stock. 
Geez. 62 bux a K...
I grabbed the las 1k of cci400 at 40bux a week ago at a place local to me, and was glad to get it..also grabbed 2 of the last 3 lb cans of h335 at their normal price.
All they had left primer wise was LPP and LRP from various makers.
