I was sent a couple links from a friend noting that Varget is going for 80 bucks or more a pound on gunbroker. Needless to say this is insane that some people are paying prices like that, however, my question is...

What's the legal ramification of selling stuff like that? I had heard, but not verified, that you need a Federal Explosives License or something along those lines to sell an 8lb jug of powder.

I find it a little hard to believe all the people selling the jugs on there are ammo or components wholesalers do you guys? I just wonder if there's going to be some people's asses in a crack. It's a big temptation but the whole 400% markup just makes me feel dirty inside...

Makes me feel silly for giving a pound of it away last week. That was like $100 worth of Varget!!

I just bought some from Powder Valley. I ordered it about two months ago, and it arrived last week. Two eight pound jugs, and no price gouging from Powder Valley.

I just got 8 pounds of Win 748 from Powder valley . Rounded out my collection nicely but they did get me for about 25 bucks more than everyone who didn't have it in stock was priced .

They only bill once its shipped. I just got 500 Lapua brass I had on B/O from them today. Just put in a backorder and wait, thats the best thing.

Re: Varget Resale values

I will trade 4 8-lb jugs of Varget, never opened, for a nice GAP rifle.

Would also consider trading a jug or two for high-end optics such as S+B, USO, or Premier.

I have 210M and 215M primers also, so we may even be able to strike a deal on a complete rifle/scope combo if you have some really nice shit.

If you really want to play hardball I even have BR2 and BR4 primers.

Let me know what you have got...

Yeh.. I'll trade about 2k of BR2's and 8lbs of varget for a M82 barrett and I'll even throw in a few Federal match 210M's just because I'm a nice guy....But I will only do this with a pristeen rifle.....Laugh !!!!!SmokeRolls

Shit guys Large Rifle Primers are easy to find . What can I get for 2k CCI BR-4's and 200 Federal F205M's ... LOL

I really like the new Dodge Challenger or a GAP M40A1 complee build by Eric Reid

Re: Varget Resale values

I figured I would trade out the unopened case of LRmag primers and 8lb of Varget for a new Prius, maybe I can offset the carbon and lead footprints we're all guilty of creating from our evil sport...

It's ridiculous that people are not only pushing prices like this, but that people are actually paying it. I would just switch powders, I can find something else to shoot before I spend 80 bucks a pound on powder.

I was just trying to figure out how to capture the expended gases from my rifles and sell them as used gun powder ?

The idea of it makes me feel crappy about doing that to another shooter.

Personally, I'd just switch to something else. Varget is good stuff, but it ain't magic.

Agreed! I smell a rat! Consider the following:
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=129213174

The buy-it-now is $550 and no one is even bidding - not even the "bidders" for the above ref. jug that have bid HIGHER amounts and been "outbid". WTF!?

Yeah, I'm starting to wonder myself now that it's been mentioned. That's only a 1 day auction though and it's been up for barely 3 hours, so I am curious to where it will end.

Looks like people are starting to jump on the "sell your Varget, QUICK" bandwagon... 2 days ago only 2-3 users had Varget for sale, now it's dozens. Maybe this will drive the market back to just gouging instead of butt raping.
