There's been times where no vendor has had 223 dies in stock lately. Ever spend an extra $20 to get something you want? Hell, I know I have. Not the case here. Several "vendors" have the same dies in stock. Ok, if "here" is the case.
Critical thinking not needed.

People do this with everything. They think their stuff is rare and special. I was looking for Hogue Monogrips not too long ago, and people on ebay are TRYING to sell their used ones for more than you can get a brand new one for... including shipping. Whatever, dude. Like Pawn Shops and Estate Auctions. Suckers pay 10% more for used than new.

So why the hell does it matter? Free market economy. People get jealous when other people make money. Instead of bitching, go to Amazon snd buy 10 sets of the $36.00 dies, list on ebay, sell for $56.00. $200 profit, easy Peasy. Well, s hit. I'm a year and a half from retirement after a 47-year career of daily drudgery, misery, and general unpleasantry...and I find this out now... so I figure I got sumpin to bitch about. No one bothered to explain free enterprise to me, I thought we had to work for a living. LOL. Dimocraps know better and appreciate you, dont they Leroy and Suckermore?

When Ebay first became big a co-worker of mine got his kicks showing me all the weird stuff you could find on it.
First I challenged him with “ find me an human eyeball” ... sure enough someone was selling Glass eyes !!!
Since that was there I went for Broke —- Find me a Breast Implant -..
LOL... Breast Implant Barbie came up ... someone had modified Barbie to look like dolly pardon.
Needless to say - he won!

I have posted Lee RGB dies here. Got $19 into them. I can't sell for less than $27.30 shipped. Are they worth $19 or $27?

.223 SB die sets at BiMart today for $45 BiMart got stuff? Shelves bare? Black Bird got stuff? The BiMart here had .45 auto FMJ for the first time in a while, some 9mm Hornady Critical Defense and not much else. Die prices are up, 3 die sets are $59, no powder, no primers, few component bullets. I go and look but I really don’t need anything.

A marketplace version for me today.
Listed a flatscreen tv late real early this am for $75. Had a little spot where there was a burn in the screen (small dark spot off to the side).
Guy immediately offered me $50. I responded to him later and told him I would sell it to him. Just anted it done today.
He responded, would you do $40.
I replied that I wouldn't sell it to him for $200 now.
I despise people that do not know how to consummate a deal and live up to their word.

For those types of people I ask if they want special pricing. Always entertaining.
