Cheaper then dirt price gouging

[Norman89]

So texas is really showing they have a pair, anyone interested in being refunded money from cheaper then dirt for their latest price gouging efforts may be interested to call the texas state attorney general

Why anyone would want to get into the firearms industry is beyond me.

The margins on manufacturing components is very small.

Liability on  completed firearms is huge.

Theft of intellectual property is very common and encouraged by distributors. 

And now this.

I can't see how anyone can think they are due anything when they bought something this day and age when everyone knows what the normal price should be.

CTD has been doing this for years every time there is a run on something, the first time I saw it I quit buying their stuff, pretty easy to just do that then buy and cry about it.

[Norman89]

They don't owe me anything they don't get my money nobody that price gouges gets my money I wasn't built to do it to others and I won't have it done to me. But figured the information is out there I may as well let others know if they don't follow the channel. But I understand they can ask what they want for a commodity and that is there right. It's just not how I believe business is to be done in a healthy manor

CTD has been on my boycott list since sandy hook.

"price gouging" is a funny term to me.

If I want to sell you bullets for $10/ea, and the guy down the street wants to sell them for $1/ea, who you going to give business to? 

In the world of Google, it surprises me that this is a "thing".

I refuse o pay hiked up prices for anything. Cheaper then dirt is one on the do not buy from list. They take advantage of unprepared gun people. Dicks is another do not buy from. It they gave products away they can shove that stuff where the sun don't shine.

As far as sueing them,  no one twisted these people's arms to buy these over priced items.
It boils down to stupid people paying stupid prices and wants the courts to reimburst them for thier stupid decision.
Don't be stupid, just wait it out and buy smart.

There's nothing remotely wrong about selling something for a high price. If the price is worth it, people will pay for it. If prices are kept low in a high demand situation, shortages will occur.

Profit incentive drives suppliers to make high-demand products available in the first place - if you remove that incentive then you run into shortages.

What's better, (high-demand item) is available but expensive? Or (high-demand item) is completely unavailable?

Funny how often there is a hard line drawn in the sand on this issue. I stand to the buy cheap stack deep notion, and remember who tried to profit off a pandemic or election and not buy from them. Maybe it's just my moral direction but I don't believe in ever charging anything unnecessarily. That's how I run my business and my father runs his business. It is not uncommon to refund a customer if we came in far under bid on a project. Those customers remember things like that and will return to spend that money with us again and again. Instead of being the dirt bag that says my bid wasn't right and I need more money to finish the job or I need more money or I WONT finish the job. Idk. Respect to a customer reflects back to respect for me as a business owner and I hold that in high value

I'd definitely remember that sort of behavior if I were a client of yours. I'd also be willing to pay more for your services on the next go around because of what you did the first time.

Because it isn't legal in most states if it is considered an essential item. This is to protect consumers from retailers that exploit a situation where people need to get the basics and there is a limited supply.

I wouldn't care if they were charging a premium but $60 for a box of 9mm is ridiculous. Legal or not it's just lame and I'm not going to support them.

[h20hunter]

Devil's advocate here......fyi I'd give a sleeve of primers away before taking advantage of pricing......but a box of 9mm isn't essential.  You can survive without.  Ammo isn't food, shelter,  medical related.....
