I was gifted several cans of Vintage metal can Goex a few years ago that I am not even close to using up yet but that did not stop me from buying a case of Olde Eynsford when I needed to make the drive to pick up some parts for a gun a few years ago. Then I have a small bore that prefers 3F Swiss so bought a few pounds. Then I owned a CVA squirrel in flint that I ended up selling but I keep a couple pounds of 4F and Swiss Null B cause I am having a flinter built. Hoarder or well supplied dont really care what you call me but I can shoot what and when I want and I am still south of 70-80 years old. But I did and still do learn a lot from folks that are that age group. And I happily share all that I have if another shooter is in need.

I have all my supplies on hand to do that. Even have Willow logs stored to make charcoal. I'll be ready if I need it.

I am new to flintlocks, and am using Schuetzen. It seems to be working well for me. But reading all these happy posts on Goex, I think I need a pound or two just to see what all the buzz is about

How are people selling black powder at gun shows at all? To sell black powder in the USA, one must have an explosives license.
I see it for sale at every gunshow I am at. Its all fun and games till someone gets caught doing it. I see plenty at these shows but have never bought any of it and will never.
How do the sell Triple Seven, Smokeless, Ammo, Large Capacity Mags, and.......FIREARMS
???I think that is why they call it a "Gun Show"...just guessing

A hoarder* is
1) a person who stocked up on scarce products before they become scarce, that you now want, but can't get;
2) also a person who buys scarce products at prices you are/unwilling to pay (similar to a gouger - one who charges more for scarce products than you are willing to pay).

Triple Seven, Smokeless Powder, Ammo, large capacity mags, and firearms do NOT require an Explosives license to sell (and store).How do the sell Triple Seven, Smokeless, Ammo, Large Capacity Mags, and.......FIREARMS

Well; say you order 50lbs of black, you think you are going to split it between five friends....BUT...You ordered it, You signed the bill, it arrived at Your house with Your name on it....Do YOU have an explosive license to to 'sell' it to your friends and to 'store' it untill they come to get it?
Or; you go to an event with Four lbs of black. Someone there has none (our just a shot two worth).
Can You 'sell' him a pound if you dont have an explosive license?
One last point: where I live I am not required a license to 'store' 50 lbs or less - over 50, yes

How much product does a hoarder have to buy before it became scarce to qualify?
A real hoarder would never consider selling.

You can do anything you want. You can sell guns to minors, sell black powder at gun shows, rob banks, etc.
If one sells black powder one is required by federal law to have an explosive license. I have seen no exceptions for buying and selling BP to friends.

A product is scarce when you have some and I don't.
So theoretically I have 1 lb of powder, and you don't have any, and I'm a hoarder?
Those cases above are illegal, you cannot sell black powder without an explosives license. You can however collect money from your friends before ordering and divide the powder up after it arrives (a group buy). Of course one can always give the powder away but taking anything in trade would probably be regarded as a sale by the ATF as they have no sense of humor. Personally if I hosted a group buy (never have, never will) I might hang on to the the powder for an individual for a week or two but would never store it for them.
If you "hold onto it for a week or two" then you are Storing It for a week or two.
Ya'll like to split hairs a lot around here and point fingers at each other for some of the silliest stuff.
I hoarded Goex right before it went up. Now those friends that did not hoard have dwindled my cap supply to an alarming low.
Just people who like to not pick what others do....I guess they live in Nanny States and resent those who don't
