Yesterday or the day before, one of you guys posted a link for 10 P Mags for $100. Here is the worst price hike I've seen since last Friday, but I assume there will be many more from many other "reputable" dealers. I know its capitalism, but makes you think less of Cheaper than Dirt.
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/MAG-074 Their name will always cause me to smirk from here on out. Edit: These are the Gen 2s, not the 3s that everyone wants. |

CTD always does this. I haven't bought from them since 2008 when they did this the first time. I remember back around Y2K when people were starting to gather stuff, CTD kept their prices low then. I guess they had a change of ownership since 2000, or they just got greedy.
I was up at Dawsonville Gun today and they still had hundreds of PMags of all Gens for sale. The most expensive was $20 for the Gen 3s. That is why I always go there. They don't jack prices up on scare tactics and keep prices low. |

Yesterday morning when I first looked at that mag it was $19.97.
Six hours later it was $29.97. (I posted about this price increase then) It's doubled in price since then. Now it's $59.97. A Gen2 selling for 4xMSRP for a new Gen3. What will it be tomorrow, $99.97?

not that it matters, but check out their industry forum
People don't seem happy with them right now....

Why does it matter when you can still get them at $12 ea. elsewhere? They will garner lots of hate, and little in the way of sales. |

i have pmags for sale for the low low price of 5000 dollars each if someone wants them 
ETA: CTD just sent me a PM asking me if i wanted to come work for them because i share their values and ethics i'm assuming that the deal breaker is, "is that the shipped price  "

Don't forget your local survival store still has them in stock for $14.20  Yet, you sell yours for $25 each on the EE. Hypocrite much? http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_24/1075987_25_Pmags_all_colors_all_gone.html Nope. Sounds like capitalism to me. Charge what the market will bear. |

Just hit up Academy on 141 and they had 5 ProMag 42/rd on the shelf for $20/ea.
Now gone. Might have some in the back. Nothing else on the floor. One Bushy in 308 and some other name I never heard of in 223..... nothing else. A few boxes of 223 and 762. Very few. Just saw dumbshits 1 and 2 on tv and the mention seemed to be high capacity mags and background checks and reopening the insane asylums. Supposed to have something by Jan for the dictator to shove down our throats asap. fbho |

FYI - We are out of PMAGs now. This morning we had people buying them by the handfuls. |

Just remember the stores that DIDN'T go up on prices after this frenzy ends. I love hearing how people complain because the online mega-sites price gouge while local business keep things sane, but when things are back to normal they order from the same online stores instead of supporting the local local stores selling at the same price because they want to save 7% tax. Just saying...

Just saying... Clyde Armory went from 12.95 yesterday to 19.95 for non windowed pmags. I didn't buy any. I'll shop there if and when things calm down. |

CTD finally caved like Dicks, stopping the saled of firearms immediately, Wal Mart right behind them. Get em while you can, this time next year a 1K AR will be 5K & 556 as high as 50 bmg's are today  Walmart has not suggested in anyway they are going to stop selling ARs. "Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, said yesterday that it would continue to sell guns, including rifles like the one used at Newtown, where 26 people, most of them children, were killed on Dec. 14. By contrast, Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. (DKS) suspended sales of similar guns at its more than 500 stores." |
