Primer Prices in 1993-94

[Stealff]

I've come across a deal for nearly 20k primers that were purchased back in 1993-94, before the AWB. I'm curious as to what the going price was per 1000 back then, if anyone can recall or still has some with the price tag. I'm looking to purchase them, but want to make a fair deal with the guy.

They are Remington small rifle benchrest and Fed 210.

I still have some of that vintage.

$1.79/100 was the average sticker price around here. Per 1k they averaged about $15.00

I can remember paying $16-$17 a thousand at the local gunshops.

I remember buying primers off the shelf for $0.65 a hundred. But I think $10 to 12 is the time frame close to what you're looking for.

When I started reloading I was paying around $14 for CCI and $12 for Winchester. That would have been around 96 or so.

The prices quoted seem about right, my best guess was $1.75/100 and $16/1,000. I checked to see if I had any old stock that might have had prices on them from that era with no luck. Whenever I buy a case of primers and jugs of powder I now label them with the date I bought them, I date them so I use old stock first. I think I will start putting the price on also just to be able to compare.

Imagine, merchandise with a price on it...

As opposed to the common practice today of straight from the deepest part of the anus pricing!
