Swiss at 19? Better buy it.
Anti's ain't doing nuthin,,, it's us folks
(common shooters) that are buying alot right now, it's simple supply and demand.
Local suppliers? Well they have to have special storage,aka;
Metal box with two locks and a cable/chain attached diretly to the ground,,
and pay a heavy insurance rate just to stock the stuff.
19 for Schuetzen is high but only 4-5 a pound, if you understand what's going on right now in the loading world with supply issue and the lack of turn over by small shops it's easy to see why prices are higher.
Example;
Let's say a small shop typically get's 50# a month and sells it in a month at a dollar mark up per pound.
Now all he can get is 20# and his supply house says he won't get any more for 2 months. He's set to loose 80$ but still has to pay insurance.
Raising the price does two things, first it helps defer his expense for storage and insurance, second it stops folks from hoarding the entire shippment and assures that only those that really need a pound get a pound.
And trust me, most shops selling BP also sell many other loading componants that the very same thing is happening with.
A shop that's use too selling volume at low mark up can no longer do so because the items aren't available too sell.
Economics 101.
Don't like it? Don't buy.
