Primers and Powder Pricing

[PSmitty93]

Hello! Looking for assistance for my mother-in-law. We have recently moved my father-in-law into our neighborhood because of his diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's. He was an avid reloader and has an amazing setup that will no longer get used. We will be having an estate auction but wanted to see the value of the primers and powder that are part of the collection. Let me know what you think the current market might be for:

Powder
IMR 4064-32 lbs
IMR 4198-6 lbs

Primers
Large Rifle Primers-CCI and other manufactures-11,000 +
Small Rifle Primers-CCI and other-15,000
Large Pistol Primers-700

Thanks!

Do you want to sell it? Or do you want to squeeze out every possible penny ?

Deleted most of my post.





Edit to add: I originally missed the auction part. I see you want to squeeze out every penny. Never mind.

BYW, let me (us) know when the auction occurs.

I’m not trying to screw over the market. Would consider selling without going to auction. I’m not sure their current house is in a gun friendly market to get a good price for. Most of the buyers will be there for the furniture, antiques, etc.

Any reputable auction service would advertise to the appropriate market.

$25-35 per lb for the powder

.06-.10 per primer

Price depends on how fast you want to sell it.

Low end it will be gone in an hour. High, it will sell eventually will take longer.

Wish you were closer


List it here. Consider what the auction premium will cost you.
It will probably go quick

IMR 4064-32 lbs -35 a pound unless in 8 pounders then 255 per 8
IMR 4198-6 lbs -40 bucks a pound
Primers are going to matter on manufacturer, but generally about 75-80 fair market value per K right now.

Thanks!

Takes a special license to legally ship primers and powder. PBramble's pricing is fair. Listing on this board might be best. You could price a "take all" and a piece it out price. All should go quickly at a fair price as none are readily available commercially.
