I would have thought hard about grabbing it that's what like 25 bucks a pound at this point I'd rather pay a little more and have it than the opposite side of the coin and not have it
$200 for 8 lbs doesn't strike me as that bad considering the prices a while back were 2,take it or leave it. I picked up 8 lbs of Red Dot near the end of 2014 for $160. At that time in my area any powder that could be used in 9mm,38,45 acp etc were almost non existent.
If you need the powder, the price isn't that bad. If we get a Democrat in the White House and things hit the fan again, you'll kick yourself for not paying a little more and having the powder. BTW, what is your time worth looking to save a dollar or two a pound?
I found an 8# jug of that in Idaho for $200 a few months ago. Bought it. Depending on what you want and what's available, that's not a bad price. Capitalism is what it is.

Didn't lose any time , and doub't will kick myself as i'm sittin on 10lbs+ of HP38. I was just passing along an FYI as I know a lot of other guys seem to prefer the 231.
I got an 8 pounder of Win 748 about 2 weeks ago from a large, popular LGS in southcentral PA, probably same one you are referring to. Price was $200. I did not even look at the price when I picked it up off the shelf, but was kind of shocked when I looked at the receipt out in the car and realized what I'd just paid (I got a bunch of other stuff so the total was pretty high). I was mad at first, but then figured that if I'd bought online, and paid for shipping plus hazmat it would have come out to pretty close to that $200 per 8 pounds anyway. Sure, I could have bought more and spread those ship+hazmat fees out, but still would have had to pay the price to get what I wanted. I have been through several of these shortages/panics, and have learned long ago to buy what you can when you can so I can be worry-free during the panics and in the end, I don't really care much about the price (within reason).
Last time I bought W231 was just before the crunch and I bought it for $64/4lb jug. Anything over $20/lb these days I would consider too high. I would buy a 1lb jug for $24 if I needed it but you are supposed to get a discount for buying the big jug.
I visited a shop yesterday and all their powder was at least $30 a pound. For pistol cartridges, that's only about a penny a piece difference than if the powder was about $16-20 a pound. I have so much I can afford to be picky.
I just opened my last 8 pounder of H335 last month and finished it last week. It still had the $97 price tag on it. Been crying ever since as I think about replacing it. Still have an 8lb keg of W231 to open.
