Lowers are still dirt cheap -
Uppers are the same, if not cheaper. Not sure what you're talking about? But personally I'm looking more at their CHF offerings. Which no one comes close to in that price range. |

Just wait a day or two, everything goes up and down. There are still lots of deals (lower build kits for $79 and $84 this week)

personally, its harder for me to find better deals than i ocne did, as the deals i find are things not needed anymore. its a fishing game.. you have to be patient and find something you need on sale.

I don't think they have great prices on ammo anymore(but then it's hard to compete with SG) but I think they still have the best bang for your busk on AR stuff.

I think things are already dirt cheap anyways considering what it was just a couple years ago.

I'm still happy with their prices. I've been a customer since they were a new company. I will continue shopping with them. You'll find screaming deals if you have patience.

I think prices have gone up 5 or 10%. I have just bought all of the AR parts that I need at the moment. I do need a CHF PA10 upper though in the 20 inch flavor!

ive bought from them since jamin was a table at the local gun shows. that being said, times have cahnged greatly. prices, events, availablity, product selection.
some prices are way high. some prices are great. I personally shop like i vote, with my wallet. this means, i buy low and ignore the high priced things. |

just an example, lowest price of complete upper now is $279, WITHOUT BCG and CH, it used to be easy to find $199 or $189 for that
brick of 150rd green tip now is $89.99+shipping, that's gander moutain price (minus shipping) |

Gas used to be under $1 per gallon. Milk used to NOT cost $4 per gallon. What's your point? Prices across the entire industry have gone up over the past years. So has the cost of living. In some cases, wholesale prices are higher than retail price was on the same product even 5 years ago. Welcome to supply and demand and the world known as capitalism.

the first lower i bought was $125
the last 10 lowers i bought were $60 (shipped and ffl included) 
last 10 (at one time) bcgs $79 (free shipping on orders over $100)
shit a year ago you couldn't buy either one, nor ammo everyone, everywhere was out of stock. these are still the salad days. |

EXCEPT the US workers wages. |

inflation, small scare over m855, gas bounced back up $0.50 which eats into the profits they were earning on inflated shipping, and they're still usually the cheapest around.
I can't complain. Wait a week for a sale. |

This is the LOW price days for AR stuff (get it while it's cheap!). That being said, with a saturated retail market, PSA prices seem to me as good as always. I think what you're seeing is OTHER retailers catching up, price wise. AIM, DSG, Primary Arms, etc are all matching (if not slightly bettering) PSA prices on CERTAIN items. That's just the nature of the beast. We've hit "rock bottom" for AR pricing. Everyone's at their LOWEST. NOW is the time to stock up, build, get spares, etc.
Don't forget, don't pay normal PSA price... wait for it on sale. Especially their complete uppers.... hard to beat those prices. |

Prices are higher than 2014. The majority of my builds were
$49.99 lower $29.99 Blackhawk LPK $29.99 Blackhawk stock kit with an assembled upper. I bought 3 CHF midlength at $417, $341. $359 shipped (the last two were blems) right now it is probably $75 to $100 more to build one similar (would have a "better" stock kit and LPK) |

I don't have a problem with their prices, but I do with the lack of inventory...and LOOONNNGGG wait times for shipping...and piss-poor QC on assembled uppers.
...just sayin'
