I have used them in the past and always thought their price's were fare. Others?

BREAKING: Texas AG Accuses Cheaper Than Dirt of Price Gouging - The Truth About Guns

File this under things everyone already knew was going on. As we wrote the other day, no one likes high prices, but they’re part of the current market conditions. Consumers are seeing the effects of the laws of supply and demand on a daily basis as they shop for guns and, more acutely...

Nope! Every election, they increase their prices a lot and take advantage of shooters in the current environment. Saw this in 2008 and never supported them. Not that I ever used them anyway.

they are not cheep but they are dirt

Since the last time they DID price gouge, have never purchased from them again.

You could WATCH them pull inventory from "in stock, this many available", poof, gone. 6 hours later, at triple or more of the price, miracle would happen and they suddenly had stock again. CTD are snakes.

They are trash, have been for a while

Hmmm, let’s say 4000 sales at the average price gouge of $500 in the example of the 5.56 ammo, comes to a nice round $2,000,000. Yeah, I’d say the Texas AG taught them a real lesson to continue forth.

Don't get me wrong as I am no fan of CTD but what law determines "price gouging"?

Day after sandy hook cheaper than dirt had ar mags at 99.99$. Never gave them a penny thankfully.

According to the description i read breifly they jacked the price up between when you put it in tbe cart amd when you were charged for it.
I remember looking on their website years ago during a shortage and seeing 50rounds of 7.62x39 ammo for $89 or something ridiculous

Dirt balls comes to mind.........never mind the current economic situation.

 

[jonbearman]

Its about time an AG had the guts to call it exactly as it is gouging.

I guess I'm just of those capitalist pigs you hear AOC and Berney Sanders bitching about. In capitalism the price of a good or service is whatever someone is willing to pay for it. In my capitalist world no one has the right to establish the price of said good or service except the person who owns the good or provides the service. AOC and Berney demand that the government have the power to set those prices. I fundamentally and most profoundly disagree.

Now having said that, I would not pay the price they ask. The price they ask is their choice, the price I'm willing to pay is my choice. And as we pass in the marketplace the invisible hand guides us both and in that, all is right with the world.
