Filed complaints, I must have missed the lawsuit part.

I bought from them once years ago, never found a good price with them since so they never got my business after that. I finally even stopped looking at them for ammo because they were always more expensive...not living up to their name. False advertising.

so is it price gouging if you don't sell or buy, if you are stupid enough to buy at inflatted values, wtf.
just saying, how dumb is that.

Exactly, let the market decide...price too high no one buys.

I agree .. I am sick of stupid litigation. Hate the price .. dont buy it .. hate the company never buy from them again and make sure you tell everyone you know.

Really "need" the stuff and will pay what they want for something that is difficult to get and you have the scratch .. that is your prerogative.

Enter lawyers .. lets protect people from their own decisions

Economics 101, supply and demand. I find it hard to believe that people find themselves in a position where they suddenly need ammo in the middle of a panic buying time.

Capitalism at its finest. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Yay, more frivolous possible lawsuits where the only "winners" are the lawyers.

Don't like the price - don't buy it. Let their reputation suffer (as it has already, and has for years...)

You would think with all the past panics, people would have already stocked up.

Price gouging is only for manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. It does not apply to private sellers.

Sue the sh!t out of them.

Last time there was a shortage ctd jacked prices up. I am surprised they are still in business

[Pale Rider]

That's one of the big problems with "merica". There's a never ending supply of dumb asses that will buy from a scumbag company no matter how rotten they are and keep them in business. I saw what they were decades ago before the internet when they advertised in Shotgun News. Cheaper than dirt my aching ass. Never bought a thing from them and never will.

[AZ Husker]

Cheaper Than Dirt is the Harbor Freight of shooting supplies. They have been caught misrepresenting, selling old stock and seconds, and often advertising stuff they never had in stock. Buy cheap, get cheap.

I've told this story a couple times but not here on the latest site so....

During the last panic session, one of them anyways, I went into their store cause it was close to where we moved. They had a couple dozen pallets of the federal 556 ammo on stripper clips in cans, 420 rounds I think, in the wherehouse with 2 on the floor on this store and atleast that many in ft worth so they had a crap load and more coming they had already bought. I know cause I asked. They thought I was worried they would run out.

I grabbed a can at 130 bucks and shopped then noticed it was priced at 170 bucks then 190 bucks. All within half an hour. I got it at 130 cause I'm a bastard and raised a stink and well they didn't want a riot.

2 days later that s*** was 300 dollars a can and rising with lines out the door. We all know the outrageous prices they charged plus the games the played with ARs and the rest. 556 ammo at 1 dollar a round. And more.

They have a right to get what they can, its capitalism and the order of things and I'm not faulting them for that. That said how they operate and treat their customer base knowing the demand is a travesty. It is gouging if you consider access to that commodity essential and the way they mark it up.

The other part of free markets and free society, for the time being anyways, is I won't ever support them as a customer again and will take every chance to remind the gun folks just who and what they are.


Well I take part of that back. I may buy from them again if it's at the going out of business or BK sale if they are forced into it buy lawsuits. Fitting justice for those bastards. Not much different than Dicks in that regard.

Phuck em.
