What did percussion caps cost 10 yrs ago?

[short_start]

My memory isn't so good and maybe I'm getting accustomed to outrageous prices, but I'm trying to remember what a tin of 100 caps cost in the past. $6 sticks in my mind, but even that might be high. Does anyone remember what they went for?

If I get the Way-Back machine working, I don't want to get ripped off

2010 $4.19

Yikes! Prices now are more of a rip that I thought.

How much are they now?

I recently bought 1000 CCI # 11 caps from Basspro. I think there about $ 5.50 per hundred. Last year at Walmart they were $ 4.88 per hundred.

I had 500 old #11s and when I sold one of my sidelocks this last spring I gave them to a young kid.. kinda wish Id of kept them now with them being so hard to find, still have 7-800 but wont last long if I start shooting a lot.
prices are just getting insane and people are paying it there for driving them even higher.

Kinda sounds like rape to me.

Found some at Gander Outdoors and they are $6.05 per hundred, last week.

Its the same with .22s. But you can't shoot what you don't have. Like I tell the wife. These things won't get 1: cheaper and 2: more available anytime soon. If ever...

Nobody likes high prices but the fact is if they went up for sale at $40/1000 they’d be gone in a minute. High prices insure that people only buy what they absolutely need.

I remember buying a tin of 100 CCI #11 caps in 1982 for $2.50. I still have the tin (use it to store patches) with the price tag on it.

 

[deermanok]

I remember finding some at a Walmart store a couple years ago. End of season mark down. They were 1 dollar for a tin. Of course, I bought all of them.

 

[deermanok]

I found some today online for $ 7.00 per hundred. The hazmat fee is a killer though, $ 28.00 plus shipping costs. OMG

I just paid $59 for 200 musket caps online.

That's crazy!

I would love to see an insert that could make a spark that uses a battery. It would have to be cheaper. It should not be too hard neither.
