Mine today started about 2 weeks ago at Sherburne when i met some old range trool that has to stop at every table to see what's going on...
So he stop's at mine when i'm taking a break and ask about my M1-A.
So to be nice i tell him it's a new rifle and i'm trying out a few reload's to see what she like's, Cool so far.
Then we talk about how hard brass is to come by nowday's and he tell's me his cousin has a drum of Lake City brass that he and his brother had bought several year's ago and now were selling off some.
Ok, I get his cousin's number and call him later that day for price's, 90.00 per 500 and 165.00 per 1k.
Not a great great price, But a fair price. So we set up a meet a few day's later below New Iberia.
Meet the guy and i had my mic's with me so i checked out a few piece's in each bag. No doubt i would need to work it a bit since this is machine gun brass, I paid the man and informed him i may need some more soon,
No problem, Just call me...Still cool.
So, Fast forward to today and i call old boy up and tell him i'm interested in another 1k.....
Old boy tell's me, My brother and i been on the internet and we are charging the same as them.
Me, Oh yeah, How much ?
Old boy, 200.00 per 1k
Me, 200.00 ! Man i'm no longer interested.
Old boy, Why not, That's what the price is on the internet !
Me, Because i can sit at home on my fat ass and order all i want off the internet for 200.00 per 1k
Old boy, ..........silence............. Trying to recover....Uhh....Uhh.... I need to talk to my brother and see if he can come down some....
Me....I'm not interested unless you go back to the same price 2 week's ago....
Old boy, Uhh, Let me talk to my brother...I can call you back after i talk to him..
Me, You do that, You know my price, Later man...
That's my little gouger story for today, I'm not holding my breath on these 2 old mullet's to call back !!!!
I'll just buy off the net....!
