cheaper than dirt has a reputation of price gouging in times like this, or at least they did the same thing last election cycle.
Why many people won't shop there.

I thought Texas took them to court and tore their buttons up for doing this???

I heard that too. Apparently if they did it didn't have lasting results.

What a pirate outfit Cheaper Than Dirt is.
Just like the people that hoarded toilet paper. Eat it.

- A self serving political gambit for the Texas AG
- With the BLM rioting and 7 million plus new gun owners, Dirtier Than Cheap has plenty of fresh meat for plunder.
- When you look at Gun Broker prices, CTD don't look so bad and you don't have to worry about scammers.

In a free market and something that is not necessary, I wouldn't call it price gouging. I don't like it and I don't think it is a good business practice, but it's their business and they should be able to price their products as they see fit.

At one point I was a gunbroker regular customer. Some people on the site are still OK. The problem is some people seem to have more $ than common sense. They get in there and bud stuff up to waaaaay more than the average person can afford. I was in a store not long ago and saw the Winchester 555 boxes of bulk ammo for 27 bucks. They had 10 boxes left. I took 1 and left the rest hoping someone that needed them would buy them . Could have bought all and sold for a tidy profit. I'm not that guy.

Agreed but boycott is the American way. If everyone would boycott said sites they would get back to earth.

CCI and Winchester could also stop sending them products till they drop down to near MSRP.
I won't boycott them for it, but I won't pay that much for ammo either.

But if I am bidding on gunbroker, I honestly don't care how much the common person can afford. I am bidding based on how much it is worth to me...that is capitalism at work and is not an issue or a problem.

I'm in complete agreement. An auction goes to the highest bidder. It's all relative. I remember refusing to pay 8.00 for a brick of primers. If I found them for that now I would stock up.

This showed the kind of forum this is. I have seen these discussions get out of hand quick in other places. Here, just good conversation. I guess that's why I still hang out even if I'm not much of a long range hunter.
