Let the gouging begin

Cheaper than Dirt is at it again just like the first panic. Looking at AR15 magazines. Five dollar Thermolds are $19.97. Twelve dollar gen2 Pmags are $29.97.

If people are paying this how is it "gouging"?

 

[Lammchop93]

well that's not cheaper than dirt.

Cheaper than Dirt never is. Went to Elmores and Highsmith today, Pmags are the same price as always just fewer of them.

my local shop pulled all the high capacity Glock mags today and the price went up - he said he didn't want to sell 50 of them to any one person - but $$$$$

Looked around and found magpul gen2 with the window for 13.38.

Send them an email stating your displeasure with their practice and that you and 26,000 of your friends won't be buying from them.

Just my opinion but raising prices two to three times retail to take advantage of a situation is gouging. Unless they're trying to keep inventory until that becomes the average price. But it's also at the expense of customers.

Gouging tends to refer to things that you NEED... Gas, food, etc.

They are still sending me their crap catalogs after me telling them to **** off a few years ago. I just get em outta the mail box and throw em right in the trash.

Just go to DON's gunshop, he will give you a good deal

I did last time. Funny, they didn't answer. It was interesting watching a different site where others were getting banned daily for voicing their displeasure on their forum.

Why would you buy from cheaper than dirt if your local guy has them?

I don't. I try to buy locally as time and gas prices allow. I just found the timing of their price raise interesting.

Where is Elmore's?

Where is Elmore's?

In Greenwood on Meridian near County Line road. It's not near Greenfield, I went there today because I had meetings at IUPUI and just went there from downtown.

Inconceivable!

Shaming people for buying things not from local vendors is BS. It's good to support your locals but no one should be shamed into paying more or not being able to experience the convenience of Internet shopping out of some false sense of duty to locals. It's amazing to me that comments like this show up on the same forum that extols the value of free markets and liberty.

Gouging and fear mongering are as American as Apple Pie and what now pass's for baseball. Turned into a national pass time in 2008, standby for more of the same. Have a nice next four years.
