Gents, let's not gang up on all the local dealers (I am not one, by the way). Keep in mind that the local guys have bills to pay too, and do not move the volume of supplies that the well known internet suppliers move. They also may not be able to obtain the same volume discounts either. They are smaller operations and have to make a little more per item to cover their expenses.

One of the local shops in my area has two sizable shelves stocked with primers, at a reasonable $27.95/k. Not as cheap as online, but figuring 29.91 including tax, that isn't bad against the internet suppliers and their shipping/haz-mat fees.
