That would be good news. For me, the primer situation is just now stabilizing, but it’s still difficult when I want to buy the occasional factory box. Let’s hope that retailers open up their hearts so that we can open up our wallets!
Eh? I just looked last week and 1000ct boxes have a starting bid at $200. Basically, I have $3000 in primers on me.
I watch r/gundeals for primers as they come up. I’ve been able to get about 12k in the past few weeks for just a little above retail price.
Not a lot of good options for ammo here in NY. I don't even think WalMart sells it here anymore.

Seems about right. A Google search could not even get Google to “auto complete”
After pressing “return”, you get this warning:
Meanwhile in MN you still get pages of gun stores to choose from....
The last time I lived here, I went to the WalMart to buy ammo. It was ensconced in the back near the auto center, you kind of had to know where it was to even know it was there. Once I finally found someone to help me, they insisted on my showing a concealed carry permit before they would sell me any ammo (who concealed-carries a 12 gauge?) Well, I don't have a NY pistol permit. I showed them my expired CT one and that was apparently good enough. I don't think that stores sells ammo at all anymore.
Reminds me of that meme, "If Biden get elected, nothing changes. I either buy my guns in a retail store or in a parking lot."
Same same for NY ammo. ;)

Was able to pick up a 200 round box of 5.56, 55-gr at a local retailer tonight for $90. It's Winchester White Box, not my favorite but better than virtual rounds and I wasn't gouged on the price. Limit one box per customer.
It wasn't on the shelf, they had it in the backroom. I called to check availability before stopping by. May try to grab another box tomorrow.
Still no handgun ammo to be found.

Considering thats cheaper than the going rate of 9mm, I'd have friends grab one for me too.
I feel like lucky gunner in the past 5 years has gone down the shitter with stock and price.
