My mate got some of that but doesn't want to do the experimentation required so is intending to sell it again.
What are you using it in?

It's not piracy where there is no negotiation. That is restricted to bandits and Governments.
It is more like pure capitalism as in 'I got it, you want it, take it at my price or leave it'.
Sadly, having lived through the galloping inflation of the 70's, I think it is something we will gradually get accustomed to for various worldwide reasons and it will not be restricted solely to shooting requisites.

Back when things were cheap a few years ago before Covid, I bought tons of stuff and I think at this point I could probably shoot until the 2030s and not really worry too much. On occasion I buy a few things to try out, maybe a new powder or some bullets but really don't need to.
Everything is cyclical so at some point things when settle again. When they do stack as much as you can. Thing is when stored well, reloading supplies can last for decades.

If I went to a gun shop and didn't see anything I wanted I'd grab primers and powders anyway, the shop makes a sale, and I have stuff I'll use eventually. I'd get emails from online shops with brass or bullets on great specials so I'd buy them, even if I didn't have a firearm to use them in yet. I'm pretty sure I have enough stuff to see out my life time, except .22LR ammo, I'm can't afford to stockpile hundreds of thousands of rounds of that stuff. And I have to grab some more
blackpowder next time I find some.

That's the thing, once you have a good amount in stock and needs are covered, you can have the patience to wait for excellent bulk deals or sales.

Problem with that is we cannot ship powder and primers in this retarded country I live in the country therefore we never see specials ever on consumables you have to go to the capital cities for that
