I have some Varget I am thinking of selling , I notice people are paying some high prices . I was looking for some real world numbers of what it may be going for in a "face to face" sale between individuals ? I live in the sticks of NE NY so my audience would be thin for local sales . I have 10 pounds , that may be worth a road trip ? I have never really been into the whole supply/demand thing but will admit this one has me curious .
Thanks for any help folks .

I wouldn't give over $35 a pound if I were buying.
Some are gouging but my 2 guys are right where they should be, $30-40 depending on the powder.

Yes, Varget is a desireable powder. And yes, there are stupid prices being paid (I've seen ASKING price of !00-140 a pound by some scalpers. There are some powders that can be found. All that said I'd suggest you put $50 a pound on it FTF, and perhaps a discount if somebody travels and buys all of it from you. And lets hope that they then don't buy it simply to mark it up to screw other people.
P.S. What I have done is trade powders, pound for pound. I've done that for primers too. Perhaps you need something else?

1 does. Along with H-4350 which is another hard to obtain powder right now.
The guys I know will find an alternative rather than pay $100 per pound.

A fair price in todays market would be $50 a lb. Yes it should be less, but its all about supply and demand just like anything else. imo anything over that would be taking advantage of the situation. I would pay $50 for a lb and not feel like I got ripped off.

I bought 2 pounds from Graf's last week for $34.95 a pound. Good deal as they are within 27 miles of my house.

Varget started showing back up some but you could still make some money on it especially if it’s a desired lot number that someone is wanting. I would unload it quickly if your wanting to sell. A few months ago it would bring stupid high prices.

Fairest to trade, otherwise $40-50 is fair too. If Graf's gets $35, there will be tax, gas, or shipping on top of that.

I traded it to a local shop for some other stuff I don't need . Shop owner can pass it along at a fair price and make a few bucks while the local shooters get some Varget which has been scarce around here according to him . Win win . Thanks again folks, much appreciated .

I would say $40-50 on a face to face would be fair.
