Remember when Cheaper Than Dirt (CTD) charged high prices for PMAGS in 2012?

[Lazyfaire]

NWArmory was selling a 3 box limit of 9mm the other day.

Guy interviewed on FOX today said he got 6K rounds in and they were gone in an hour(not NWA).

Supply and demand, baby. This is why a one toothed crack whore charges $1000 for a wink in Alaska.

 

[1371JarHead]

I saw on another website that there 9mm per 1000 was going for 399, unbelievable, sigh oh well.

Exactly the same thing they did last time around, if anyone still needed some reason not to order from them this is it.

Came here to say this.

It's fashionable to mislabel ambition as greed but this, this is just good old fashioned greed.

Yep. Those that don't like it are free to go to a society with price controls. I can all but guarantee said locale will not be conducive to the private ownership of firearms though.

Lower than dirt

The last time I ordered from CTD was when they were selling 5.56mm 62gr Mk318 MOD 0 ammo.I didn't know any better at the time. I paid $17.99 maybe a bit less for boxes of 20 rounds. I am not really sure since it has been years ago.

If you need to buy ammo now, you didn't learn anything from the last 'shortage.'

OC Costal farm and ranch out of pistol ammo period, i wonder how many new guns are bought only to find out there is no ammo for them on the shelf. Glad got another case of 9mm last week i didnt expext this.

I remember last time, our local gun shop wouldnt even sell .22wmr ammo unless you bought a gun in that caliber. They had so little it was just for people buying the guns to be able to actually shoot them.

I wasnt aware of CTD price gouging in the past. I recently ordered a bunch of stuff from them. But if theyre going to be bubblegums then they wont get my business in the future.

Im fine with them making a profit and capitalizing, i raise my prices in the summer to but usualy 5-7% not 120-150% overnight thats just gouging imo and i wont pay it, ill wait till it comes down and if that takes a year then theyll miss out on selling me several cases of resonably priced plinking ammo.

More like those that dont like it are free to go to a business that isnt trying to shaft their customers. And theyre free to talk about it in the hopes of making them lose more customers.

I stockpile but i dont like to use from my stash, i like to buy a half or full case go do some serious plinking and put whats left in the stash and rinse and repeat.

Sometimes they are cheaper than dirt and I order from them. Sometimes they really arent and I dont order from them. Picked up a Standard Manufacturing 45 Colt SAA from them last year for a full $500 less than I could have from anywhere else. It was one of those "Are you sure thats the price ? deals" I would never order ammo from them a tthose prices but theres no reason why I would need to.

Yup. So there on the first. Haven't cared about the latter in a long time, but to each their own. Cheers.

Even more expensive than it was a few days ago. And there's not a real shortage.
The way they act, I'd betcha they contributed heavily to Billary's campaign, and are now donating heavily to Creepy Joe and the Bern Socialists.
With vendors like that, who needs Exes?
Edit to add, you see some dirtbags on this forum coming out in the classifieds already.

I was just going to comment about what I just seen in our own classified section but you beat me to it with your edit.

proud card holding cheaper than dirt boycotter since 2012

I gave them some business many years ago, and my experience wasn't to good! Have not and will not ever give them business again!

If you guys didn't have high capacity magazines you wouldn't have to buy so much ammunition. 6 in the wheel should be enough for anyone.

Can I get an Amen?!?!?

Supply and demand, baby.

Well, there's supply and demand, and then there's supply and flat out greedy price gouging. As I posted in another thread.......
