Price Gouging

[Hayata]

When CTD gets their .45 Tulammo back in for $15/box I'm ordering another case...relative to everywhere else you can buy it, their's is the cheapest I can find.

Sure it's gone up $2.10/box (roughly 4 cents/rd) from a couple of months ago but the stuff punches holes in paper and clangs steel all day long.

I stopped blaming the companies who charge that much they really are not the problem the problem are the people who are willing to pay that price. If everyone just stopped buying then they would be forced to lower their price

x2! In a free market economy, demand determines price. If there is no demand at the exorbitant prices, they will come down to the level where there is demand again. Economics 101.

The challenge, for me, is not to let my eagerness overwhelm my sense, and not create demand at prices that are insanely high.

Yep, that was my point exactly! You cannot be gouged, unless you allow yourself to be. It's rather like blaming the pizza delivery guy for making you fat.

If some pizza place tried to sell me a $300.00 pizza because nobody else had any cheese I would make a sandwich and never call them again. Then the deliveryman could find a job at a business with better pratices.

I can honestly say I've never bought anything from CTD. I was going to once till I proceeded to checkout and seen the shipping. I just laughed like hell and clicked off of their site.

Still trying to figure out how you "gouge" on sporting goods.

I thought gouging only took place on necessities.

This is where I draw the line. Guns are a necessity. It was so much of a necessity that our founding fathers wrote a constitutional amendment for it. The sporting goods analogy feeds into the libtard argument of "who needs a 30 round mag for huntings or target shooting".

I will accept the prices but please don't put our guns in the same category as golf clubs.

Cheaper than Dirt can keep sending me catalogs- which will find their way directly to the trash...

CTD won't get any of my money
