Cheaper Than Dirt sued---price gouging

[samnev]

It's about time someone put the hammer down on CTD. Well done TX AG.

[Crippledtrigger]

All the "it's free market" and "your stupid not to have bought when it was cheap" screamers should read the AGs filings. This is about actual gouging practices and not price changes with market fluctuations.

If you dont have all the info you are ignorant of the facts and should consider looking smart thru silence. The issues aren't that prices went up as the supply tightens as that happened everywhere, i.e. free market, and many of their price increases were not the issue.

Things that were at issue were the price advertised and final price at payment were almost doubled. Prices manually raised after government declarations when no increase in cost or other market fluctuations were shown. In other words actual gouging. When Texas listed Ammo as a necessity they should have got the hint. One could say this is mostly deceptive business practices I guess.

This is only a half million dollar hit to them and only to refund actual victims of these limited practices cause many of their price increases, as stupid high as they are compared to other retailers, didnt rise to that level. That said they closed a store front after the last shortage cause locals hate them and I hope they suffer a nice funeral pyre soon, figuratively ofcourse.

Anyways the actual AGs filings are easily found if anyone cares to look.

Oh, a fool and his money...

And

Piss poor preperation on your part...

Yeah, if people actually paid the inflated price, I don't feel sorry for them.

Supply and Demand! But any a**hole can sue for any reason.

So, someone’s failure to properly prepare shouldn’t cost them?
I guess anyone that feels that way should sell me their precious metals at 1970 prices (Gold $35.xx per Troy ounce).

[Rock Hardson]

I can understand raising prices a little, because who knows how long it will be before you get more Pmags (or ammo, firearms, etc.) from the manufacturer, but this is ridiculous to do to your customers. It shows just how much CTD values their customers.

Fu/ck Cheaper Than Dirt. I hope they fold up like a wet taco shell and blow away.

Stupid pricing for stupid people. Check out the Federal HST .38 SPC $/rd...

2.80 for a round of 147gr 9mm? That is laughably sad.

[Suck My Glock]

Well,...it IS HST, after all. I've been hunting for 147 grain 9mm JHPs myself to load up. I've seen people paying $1 per PULLED projectile!! Virgin HST 147 grainers go for more than that. So factory loaded 9mm 147 HST,...I'm not surprised. Certainly not worth THAT much, but I can see it.

Just secured the winning bid on 1000 pieces of Remington 147 JHP grainers at $.25 cents each. That's almost double what I would have paid a year ago, but awesome these days.

[Old Jeff H]

Gunbroker is certainly winning with this situation. I can't even imagine what they're making from the fees.

[Manitu]

Sue the sh!t out of them.
