I just got my last crate of 76N from Dan's. I'm pretty sure they jacked the price from when I ordered to when they shipped a week later but their order confirmation email didn't include pricing info. I was watching the prices pretty closely. I've emailed back, but haven't heard anything.

Similar experiences anywhere?

I think Dan's has been $409 (or close to that) plus shipping for a couple weeks.  They took it off the site last week to fill all the backorders.  I think they put it back up yesterday.  There was a thread/link on here that has the old price posted.  Let me see if I can find it.  I've always heard they had a good reputation.  Now if you were talking about CTD, they would have just cancelled your order, said they were sold out, and posted it for 2x as much over the weekend.

Yes, he raised prices a week/10 days ago when he got the last batch in, post-ban.  He didn't jack anybody, all one has to do is look at the web price then go to the shipping calculator.  

Still the cheapest on the web, if it's still there.  21 cpr, as opposed to 7.62x54 at almost 29 cpr.  Not sure what else is out there in CF milsurp for under a quarter a round these days.

I ordered a crate from dans on 4/2, got a confirmation from the auto responder and faxed my DL and called to make sure they got it (which they did). I never got a shipping notification and assumed it was because they were swamped after reading the message on the web site. Thinking maybe I should call again on Monday....

I know Dan himself personally, believe me he is not out to screw anybody. Two things to consider;

1) The 7n6 market (supply,demand and price) is volatile right now. Dealers are paying more as well and don't know what they will be paying tomorrow, if they can even get it at all. Thank ATF for this.

2) Dan's Sporting Goods is (almost) a one man operation (Dan). His overhead is low and that is how he keeps prices low. Please cut him a little slack.

You may have a bad experience with him but I believe the overwhelming consensus is that Dan is an honest and fair Dealer.

Disclaimer- I don't work for him or make any money from his sales.

I have delt with Dan, and tho he is a bit slow to respond and ship I got what i paid for. In my book he has a stand up buisness.
