Before EBAY turned to the ANTI's, we could find many bargains of components from individual sellers. Garage Sale Items & etc. It seems as if Gun Broker is now almost totally dominated by Commercial sellers who set such a high price that they just wait for a sucker cause there is no listing fee. I compare cost with Graf & others and find that "there ain't no bargains on GunBroker"! Looking today at a Gun Broker Search on "284 Nosler"! 2 pages with only 1 bid! All Dutch auctions by commercail sellers.

Is anyone aware of an auction ( or webpage ) where shooters list their unused, extra and over bought relaoding stuff? Like EBAY was before?

Umm, you might try Swap & Shop.

It's on a website called Hunt Chat.

Theres a concept! Also try hitting up you local pawn shops, particularly old well established non-chain type shops. I once found three boxes of nosler partitions for a buddy in 308 in one for $2 a box. Have also found dies and all kinda stuff in them.

Good hunting.

You can still find a bargin once in a while if you check the comerical dealers often. Right now I`ve got afew 1,000 rounds of .223 ammo loaded that I have abt. 19 cents a round in. That includes 1 fired brass. If I have powder shipped to me I always get as clost to 50 lbs. as possible to get the max. out of that rediculous haz-mat fee. I buy bullets 500 to 2,000 at a time for most of my rifles, and handguns. If you do alot of looking at gun shows you can find some bargins there also. Our local club has a traders day every summer for just the members and you can never tell what you`ll find there, but there are always alot of bargins. What you really want to do today is keep stocked up on every thing and when you find a bargin buy a pile so you can hold out till you find the next bargin. ;)

Ya know, Skeet wasn't kidding on looking at garage sales..
especially the older folks. Look around garage for items used in hunting or camping....for guns and ammo stuff, ya gotta ask for em. I've found a lot of stuff that they hadn't thought about but
would get rid of, they just don't think about it.
