8# Bullseye

[headednorth]

So my uncle in AZ who was an avid reloader passed away a while back. My aunt called tonight asking what's a fair price for an unopened 8# jug of Bullseye as friend of the family out there is looking to buy. I havent bought much powder since prices blew up and it doesnt seem to be in stock anywhere (Ammoseek came up with zero returns for Bullseye). I did a quick search, came up with 6 prices (the lowest being $200 and the highest being $279) and came up with an average of roughly $240. Is that in the ballpark? I know that prices for OOS items tend to be all over the road. Appreciate any help from NES.

TIA

Regular retail is about 240 from what I've seen. If you see it

That would be the correct range and average, IMHO. +1 regarding this stuff can be at times in the unobtanium class.

I'd pay up to $400 for it and snort a line or two in between loading up some 45acp. However, most might max out at around $300-$350.

Last time I saw it in stock it was $400 plus shipping and hazmat.
Although it looks like Grafs had it in stock most recently at $240

$400? Yikes. My uncle is cursing me from above right now, lol

Does she need the money?

As long as the friend of the family is not trying to take advantage of your Aunt. If truly a friend I would say $25.00 a pound.

If she is destitute than sell full retail to a non-friend.

Wouldn’t there need to be a discount as it would be a powder of unknown storage conditions?

And how do you tell if a jug is “unopened?” There hasn’t been a seal on anything i’ve ever bought from the store. It’s not like the seal on ketchup (or mustard) that you have to peel off and could clearly tell about tampering.

Idk, other than he bought it new and never used it.

I didn’t mean to come across as rude and rereading it, I realize it may have.

It was more of a general question to the more experienced reloaders here.

Really? All powder I’ve ever bought had a thin styrofoam cap/seal that I had to peel off.

Well, it appears I open my caps too aggressively. The top little seal always comes off into the cap. I just opened a new bottle very slowly and the little seal didn’t get pulled into the cap.

Huh…interesting. Definitely not sealed like ketchup, that’s for sure.

Friend of the family? No more than $25/ lb...

Good point about the sealed lids on bottles. They dont seal all that good.
