Did they close yet? Only went up there once, just to see the store. I will say, it is the only gunstore where I've ever seen one of the Boberg 9mm pistols actually in the wild. |

Not for much longer. 
Perhaps they should not gouge or lie to customers, and they might make enough money to stay in business. So what is the over/under on how long before the Austin store closes? Seems the competition is much tougher there. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I would love more choices, just not them. Plenty have already said as to why they should close so no need to repeat myself. I know they are a site sponsor (industry tag )on here so I understand where you are coming from. I know people will continue to support them which is fine. I voiced my opinion and I am sticking too it. I am all for more gun stores than Starbucks, just not CTD. I will not support a company that has screwed over gun owners on more than one occasion not only on the sales side of things but on the political side as well. |

I couldn't care less if they are a site sponsor. Some of the items in their online catalog are very cheap, and the fact that they can be shipped to the store for FREE is an incredible deal for me. Shipping charges kill a lot of smaller items, but that's not a concern with this system. I, for one, really appreciate having that feature. As far as them closing: They seem to be pretty busy every time I drive by there. |

The ones that did what CTD did I don't support them either. I used Ammo to go as a specific because they didn't do that. I was not in Texas during the first freak out of early 09. In Colorado there were more than a few companies that pulled the same BS and I vowed never to support them again. I am pretty sure most of them are still in business which is fine but it will not change my mind. CTD continues to do crap like this, even a few months ago they were caught raising the price on a 900 round case of green tip ammo to $1,000 the day ATF released that report. The internets went wild then they magically said it was a glitch in their system. Right now we have more choices out there due to these freak outs which is fantastic. It gives the buying public more options and allows us to find the best deal. Years ago I found smoking deals on CTD and while I was living in Colorado I ordered from them more than once. I'm sure even today they have some great deals, I am not disputing that. I am simply saying I will never buy from them again. I agree with you greed does propel and infect businesses. It is an unfortunate side effect of capitalism. The companies that I see using especially greedy practices on a consistent basis will not get my money. If they gets others money then good for them. Sadly I don't have loads of money and I have to be very price conscious so when I see blatant greed like I saw in all the freak outs I exercise my right to shop elsewhere.

My thought is, I still hate to see jobs lost. - especially here in Texas.
The guys that work in the warehouses, shipping and store clerks had nothing to do with any business decisions by the owners/managers. I prefer American made products, but it's hard for me to dislike the Toyota Tundra & Tacoma since they are made/assembled in San Antonio. |

If in the unlikely event CTD goes belly up I can only hope that their employees find new/better jobs quickly. I don't want to see hard working Texans out of work. The nice thing is usually after stuff like that more companies pop up in their place. I know a few people laid off/took huge pay cuts from blue bell. It's sad, and I really do pray that those will get a new job soon. |

From what I am reading you don't know the difference between what CTD did versus supply and demand now. Manufactures raised their prices to keep up with demand, which in turn forces prices to go up. Ammo to go did not cancel orders due to "no stock" then magically have them in stock once prices were adjusted. Remember CTD took their site down for 3 weeks to "meet demand" then magically everything canceled was available at 500% mark up. Seems magical that only they were able to get product during that time where as those that honored previous orders could not replenish stock for months. I debated unloading my mags during the freak out on EE knowing damn well it would eventually get back to normal but I choose not to be a hypocrite.. Hell I have a particular powder that is about as common as a unicorn yet in high demand and I have offered to sell one pound of it more than once at my cost which is normal pricing. When did I ever say I supported price controls? I'll give you a hint, never. In fact what you quoted then replied just shows your being an ass. I like the free market and the fact it gives me the option to shop elsewhere. Was that confusing to you somehow? We can agree this has been the worst gun market since that socialist dip shit took power. I remember buying 1k bricks of American eagle .22 for $9 and Winchester WB 9mm for 11.97 for a box of 100. Those days are long over. I will give Obama a little credit as he is the reason we have so many choices in gun stores now. There were a lot of people that purchased at those stupid prices, those that did were stupid for doing it but it was their choice, they were not forced. If they continue to support them than that is their right.

No they are dealing with increased prices from both manufacturers and distributors. Price versus demand is totally different from canceling orders, saying you are upgrading your site due to demand, then magically being the only company in the U.S. With what everybody wants at prices 500% higher.

What do you think paragraphs and line breaks fall under, I'll give you a hint, grammar. Do you normally result to insults when people do not agree with you? If that is your defense mechanism to a conversation that does not agree with you than stay classy!

Good for you!!! So using your logic you are screwing people over just as much as everybody else because I know a box of mini mag is a lot less than $37 or thunderbolt for $40. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Please post a link. I believe the cost was around $29.99+tax for the CCI and close to that for the Thunderbolts.

So I would have to assume you did not click on that link. Your logic is flawed as I showed CTD to be higher than ammo to go at this very moment. Comparing consignment goods to that of new manufacture and at retail is like comparing an M2 to a high point.

I can see by your continuos use of language to try to get your point across this conversation will continue to go down hill. With that in mind I bid you fair well.

Blaming your phone is a weak excuse since many others use their phones and can still use proper sentence structure. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:The main problem was the night Obama was elected to his first term, the instant he was declared the winner by the MSM they doubled the price of .223. They have continued to gouge on ammo and guns prices since.
To say it pissed the "community" off is an understatement. My friend ordered some PMags from them a day or two before Sandy Hook. A few days later he had not gotten shipment notification, so he called and was informed that his order had been cancelled due to price change and he was welcome to re-order at the new price of $60/ea.

Interesting, MidwayUSA did something similar to me. I ordered mags that were showing in-stock during the week before Sandy Hook. Sandy Hook came along and suddenly my order was on backorder. They gave me to opportunity to cancel or wait. In fact I think they gave me a opportunity every few months to cancel the order. I ended up getting them about a year later. Now, they did not raise their price (to me), but During the 12 months that i waited, people on the forum here said they ordered and received mags from them.... Mine did not ship during the same time, but then, I don't know how much they paid per magazine, either. I was apparently a low-priority order. However, I do not advocate MidwayUSA going out of business. |

I ordered a week after sandy hook and got mine in two months, at their same advertised price of 17.99 (I think). I wonder why yours took so much longer than mine???

However, I do not advocate MidwayUSA going out of business. I never really got a clear answer on that, except that I had purchased them cheaper than that. It was a sale price and they never charged my card until they finally shipped. and I remember they did honor the original sale price, not sure what it was at this point. maybe $14ea. The point being, a lot of companies pulled some crap back then. Admittedly, some more than others.
I think the vitriol directed at CTD only rivals what is directed towards Tim Leatherman. |

He has said he did not make any donations to Kerry or attend any fundraisers, but people hate him for it. You can google it if you like, personally, it does not bother me that he voted for Kerry.

Once in a blue moon they screw up on a used gun but other than that why anybody would support them must have gobs of money to waist. |
