Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
There's already a couple threads going about this in the Bear Pit.
One guy reported speaking to a "higher up" about their price hikes and was more or less told that they increased prices because of the incredibly high demand.
If a ban does come through, I hope that they end up sitting on a shitload of merchandise that they have to eat the cost on because they can no longer sell it! F@#$ing ASSCLOWNS!!

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
Just looked at the web site ............ The firearm link on the left is gone.
Also if you get to the firearm pages though searching it says "CheaperThanDirt.com does not sell firearms." on everything.
I have bought guns from them before.
It is sad...............

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
Those fuckheads can go choke on a bag of dicks...they fucked up an order of 6.5 Grendel Ammo a couple years back. They basically charged my card in full for a case of ammo knowing they didn't have it in stock (web site indicated in stock).
It took them over a month to issue credit back my card, after I canceled my order, multiple phone calls, and escalating to management. This was the first and last order I placed with them.
Buyer beware

If people are willing to pay it then it's simply the law of supply and demand. If no one purchases it at that price they'll lower it until more people are willing to buy. It's basic economics when people make a run on a commodity.

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
Cheaper than dirt is less than 5 miles from my house. I NEVER shop there. They are a bunch of fuckheads and price gougers. They also overcharge for shipping, and the price is higher on some items if you go to the catalog window to pick up an item rather than buy it from them online and pay 2x what shipping actually costs.
FUCK CHEAPER THAN DIRT!

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
Looks like they finally couldn't take the heat. Pulled the 59.99 listing and are now down to 29.99 on some of the others.

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
They did the same thing back in late 2008 and early 2009 with $699.00/1k of 5.56 ammo.
To me it's an insult. They think most of us are stupid and willing to pay their high ass price.

I hope no one. If they were selling at $60 a mag, I doubt they would have pulled the ad and dropped the price by $30. They probably would have bumped the price even higher!!!!

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
I'm sure some of you remember last time there was a run on everything gun related when BHO got elected. They pulled the same stunt, jacking prices sky high.
I understand the economics of supply and demand, and I don't mind a business turning a profit. I do not appreciate, and will not support, a vendor that is gouging.
I chose not to do business with them after the last price hike. Fortunately their prices never came down to a level that even tempted me to.
Screw these guys. They are not supporters of the sport. They are blood thirsty sharks.
In addition to ripping people off, they're giving the anti's ammunition by voluntarily stopping sales of "Assault" rifles.
I'm glad my dollars are not supporting their business practices.

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
Companies should be standing up for themselves and their consumers at a time like this not rolling over. Not getting my monies. Midway is not price gouging, they can have it instead.

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
I think we someone should file a suit or do something. It's legal to do it to gas stations. I hope CTD shuts down completely! I have saw some gun Co's that shut down a day or 2 just in respect for the Families. if they don't rip you off on the purchase, they always do on the shipping. Midway had them in 20 and 30 today, but would only sale 2 per customer.

+1. I actually didn't mind buying somethings from them when they had reasonable shipping prices but now shipping adds a shitton to the total.
The price gouging is ridiculous. Now they have ruger 10/22 25 round mags for $50!
All this commotion about potential bans and putting all the blame of the actions of these psychotic murders upon the firearms they use and using sensational claims to put all firearms and their owners in a bad light is just a shame.

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
They were the worst gougers after the 2008 elections, ammo, mags everything. Can't believe they stayed in business after that. Stupid friggin sheepeople keep going back for more. Unbelievable.

I haven't used CTD ever since their last price gouging incident but this one takes the cake. On the other hand, if you guys would like a few laughs at their expense, take a look at their Facebook page. They're getting ripped a new one by many of their now former customers.

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
My best friend ordered 60 (yes, sixty) Pmags from CTD at ~$12 per on Sunday, Dec 16th; the mags were intended to be paid for and split three ways.
A couple days ago, he got an email saying Cheaper Than Dirt was "drop ordering" 50 of his magazines and they would be refunding that expense to his credit card.
The fuckers effectively put a limit on his order, AFTER his order was placed, so they could sell them at f'in ridiculous gouge prices.

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
It's sad. I live 5 minutes from them in Ft Worth and they have such a bad reputation for gouging no one I know will shop there anymore. The same day they wanted $59 for a pmag 5 miles up the road at Cabelas you could buy them for $12.99 a piece. I live that close here but I still shop at Midway. What does that tell you about their reputation around here?

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
Never been a fan of CTD with their ridiculous pricing but they do have a decent deal on ammo from time to time. I stopped by on Friday just to see the craziness for myself. They had some 5.56 ammo listed in the January 2013 catalog for something like 8 dollars and some change and had it in stock. I was actually going to buy some until the guy at the counter informed me that it was now 25 and some change a box. Needles to say, a professional but pointed couple of comments were made in regards to the price gauging. All the salesman did was shrug his shoulders. They've always been a bunch of arrogant pricks but this just tops it.

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
Stopped buying there when they gouged the shit out of ammo prices last year. Also, they've always been high even before the stupid freak out. They've had some basic AR's running $100 and sometimes $200 over what prices should be. I spotted two 1911's that were about 50 bucks over MSRP.

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
That is ridiculous, and I'll take my business elsewhere. I refuse to compromise my principals even if I needed the mags.

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
I won't buy 'em because I have a stockpile. However, if I didn't have any I'd pay $60 a piece to guarantee I ended up with some and not think twice. This is how free markets make sure that those who need them get them, and those that don't don't wipe out the supply.
This is exactly why it's irrational not to let gas stations gouge. If I need that gas, I'll pay a lot more. Instead, people that don't really need it go dry the gas station out 'cuz there's no disincentive not to do so, and thus the gas is poorly allocated.
That said, CTD's prices always suck. I'm not sure how they sell anything, ever.
I note the firearms sales are back on - what kind of shenanigans were they playing?

Re: $60 PMags at Cheaper Than Dirt!
They were letting everyone else run out so they could jack up the prices.
I told 'em to fuck off. I backordered through Brownell's instead on some 7.62's I needed, they'll have 'em in a couple of weeks now most likely.
Heard Magpul is making 300,000 mags per week now, read on some other site that came up in a search. Shouldn't be long. And when I called them, they said Brownell's is one of, if not the, biggest distributor for them, and that they'll be getting dibs on what goes out first, hence why I went with them.
Sure hope so.
If you need mags, look over at M&A Parts,
m&a parts inc.
They have some I posted about on here for various prices. $20 20rd. Pmags were in stock, a guy here ordered some, another some Troy mags. They even have 50 and 100 count metal mags for marked up, though not nearly as high, prices. But they won't last.
