After Walter posted this I looked at primers on Gun Broker. It's even worse. One guy has 400 Winchester LR primers (4 100 count boxes) for $185. CCI SR at $500 a brick.

a guy on another site showed a link to some federal 45 acp factory ammo, shipping from Federal, at about 1.25 per round.
you know just in case one of the others was looking for some.
all I said was anyone stupid enough to pay that much for 45 acp is setting themselves up to paying 1.25 a round from now on.
I got called snarky, he did point out that if you bought 150$ worth you got free shipping.
I told him even at 150$ worth, a postage stamp would cover the shilling err shipping.
I guess we don't talk anymore.

Man, I wish I could get a dozen at that price... :) I have a good supply of shotgun powder ( my son doesn’t shoot competition anymore) but cripes, I don’t dare to sell anything! Who knows (for sure) if things will ever get back to normal! That and I know I can always work up pistol loads for it. If nothing else, it might be perfect for some bartering down the road.

Last week I post on Alaska List here locally LR, LR Mag, LP, LP Mag, primers, some powders I didn't want and a batch of bullets.
Phone was ringing off the hook. I priced things at current pricing, not wanting to gouge, since I don't like be on the receiving end of gouging.
Sold 20K, primers, 32 pounds of powder, couple thousand bullets. All in all about $3000 in dead stock. It was a busy weekend.

I have always loved that phone off the hook expression.

even when phones had hooks you couldn't ring the phone off it because the hook was attached to the side of the phone.
you could probably ring the receiver off the hook, if you had a shallow hook design,,, or maybe even loosen the screws and ring the receiver and hook off the phone, but even at that the receiver had a wire attached to it so it really wouldn't be off the phone just merely dangling by the wire.
in which case I'm pretty sure the somewhat later phones would stop ringing since lifting the receiver off the hook closed the circuit and allowed you to talk with whomever was jingling the bells.
so the only possibilities left is to ring the hook off the phone, or to ring the receiver off the hook until the ringer stopped.
but not any possibility to ring the phone off the hook....
unless the phone was literally hanging on a hook on the wall, in which case I guess it is possible but more likely to leave the phone inoperable instead of merely on the floor and off the hook.

off the hook...
LOL.
How about "Off the wagon" ?
as in, he started drinking again, he fell off the wagon...
they hauled barrels of beer on wagons in the old timey days,,, so wouldn't the correct phrase be "On the Wagon" ?

I think that wagon is from the temperance movement, when they'd drive the wagons around they'd also have one with a band on it.
so you had a band wagon and a temperance wagon, you could jump on or fall off of either one.
I'd imagine these wagons run 24 hrs. a day except on Sunday from sunup to sundown.
