So all the people saying price gouging, will you sell me gold ou bought years ago at $100oz, or will you sell it for market rate ?
Stop being hypocrites.
It's price gouging when someone tries to sell you something at a higher than previously typical price. When you do it, the term is "market rate pricing".If you turn to the six people holding out their G-Notes and say, "It goes to the first of you who offers $1,200," are you "guilty" of "price gouging?" And, for those inclined to answer in the affirmative, exactly how do you define "price gouging?"
People love to bitch about gouging, without realizing that high prices help with availability concerns.It's price gouging when someone tries to sell you something at a higher than previously typical price. When you do it, the term is "market rate pricing".
If the power is out for an extended period of time, would you rather have generators available for $2K or not available at the normal $1K?

I mean, CTD is probably the only vendor you could reliably order ammo from right now if I had to guess.
Nobody's saying people should be selling ammo at $3/box because that's what it cost in 1969. Would you buy gold right now at $2600/oz because OMG IT'S HAPPENING?
They gouge in good times and bad. They prey on the stupid. Is it legal? Yes. Should it be legal? YES! Is it moral??? No. Scum of the earth. They could reduce their prices and still make a profit. Probably get some goodwill going there too. Instead they F everyone.
If I ran a mail order ammo company and was not constrained by law, my pricing would be "normal + $xx" with the "$xx" being donated to pro-gun orgs. It would keep availability up using the most effective rationing (price), without destroying me reputation in the business.They gouge in good times and bad. They prey on the stupid. Is it legal? Yes.

Oxymoron alert on the business name.Except TSUSA. And Brownell's. And probably Midway. Natchez? Midsouth??? Those were off the top of my head.
As I said above, it's not that CTD does this during crises. They do this ALL THE TIME. Their prices just blow. They aren't sitting around thinking about grand economic theory. They are trying to take advantage of a market. Bleep them.
He's saying it's worth what it's worth now. Supply and demand.....as long as some jack wad is willing to pay $800 for a case of blazer it's not gouging. Don't like the asking price don't buy it.Nobody's saying people should be selling ammo at $3/box because that's what it cost in 1969.

No they don't, I was just curious to see who Still had ammo. And it who was jacking up the prices
I've ordered prescription sunglasses from Optics Planet and never had a problem with an order. Their prices are fair and they seem to be one of the only ones that carry the AO sunglasses I wear with glass/polarized lenses.Never noticed anything bad about opticsplanet, even during runs on stuff I find their prices are discounted and they tell you shipping times - I have ordered an upper, parts, etc that took 3 weeks to arrive but the price was right and they came through for me. Would rather be able to square an order away for when stock is available versus having to constantly check.
Lizard?What's their NES username?
