Wealthy?? Hahahahaha
Retired I am. not hardly wealthy. I don't really owe anything though. The bullets I bought in the trailer were truly worth what I paid. Some broken or opened boxes. But I made a profit and didn't even really have to mess with them. I cherry picked some stuff out of the trailer and sold the rest to a guy that used to be a friend...LOL!!He's cleaning it all up. And will certainly make a good profit. I truly do buy the stuff I post about. At the present time I have a large amount of reloading items. Nowhere near as many guns as I used to have but mostly better quality which means more value. I keep many items out of the things I purchase and sell the rest. I have more than 150 presses of all kinds..but am surely thinning the herd and hope to be down to 30 or so very soon. A collector is coming to buy many of the ones I have. At the gun show this last weekend I bought approx. 25 moulds..Sold many. Typically I double what I pay for moulds..quite often much more profit in fact. One of the other vendors at the show came over to my table while I was setting up. Had 2 moulds I bought them for 50 dollars and within 25 minutes of the opening of the show I sold them both for 110 bucks At the last 4 shows I have one customer who has purchased 1600 dollars worth of moulds. The next show I do will be in a small town in Wyoming and I usually sell 30 to 40 moulds there. These are not Lee moulds now. I also sell and buy dies of all kinds and sell powder primers some ammo..just got into brass in a big way and some bullets Usually don't sell 22s but have sold a few thousand in the last 6 months. Before the SHTF I was in Cabela's and they had a sale on 22 ammo. 4 525 packs in an ammo can for 65 dollars. I bought 50. Figured I could make a small profit on the ammo and have 50 free 50 cal ammo cans. Then the SHTF and ammo prices have gone berserk. I have sold some 22 ammo but the cans are almost all gone for 15 dollars each. Have more than half of the ammo left and have shown a small profit or a bit more. And the way things are now I should just dump the rest of the ammo for 40 bucks a brick and buy something else..but things are hard to get and I do need more things to sell. An older fellow from just north of the State line is coming by on Thursday with, as he said, about 40 moulds he wants to sell. As well as some older reloading items. He is just getting out of the hobby. As I guess we all will at some point in time. I am hoping to purchase his extra lead too. but will have to go pick it up
