Default Loading die shortage?

I wanted a set of FL RCBS dies last week and could not find them anywhere except ebay. The ebay sellers had found a sellers market and dies were going for stupid prices. Some new FL die sets were around $100, many used sets had bids of $60 - $70 and still had a few days of auction left. Guys were offering #3 shell holders for $40! Shipping prices (USPS) were around $9 - $10. Price gouging is really offensive to me, but obviously there were eager buyers.

This morning I ordered new dies from Cabela's for the normal price, minus my military discount. Free FedEx shipping ( my order was over $50). I still need a neck sizing die but I can get started with the FL set.

This buying panic is crazy.
