Who cares. I stopped buying from them four years ago after they pulled the price gouging crap the last election.

Companies should be standing up for themselves and their consumers during a time like this. Not rolling over. Midway can have my money instead.

Money, you can't trust anyone.
If it weren't for money the manufacturers of any product that ends up getting banned for civilian sale could just refuse to sell anything to the government contract or not.
But of course they won't do that because they will have to close the doors.
Do they really have our backs or do they just want MONEY?????????

Re: Cheaperthandirt.com rolling over? $59 pmags?
I gave up on them long ago for passing their logistics problems on to me with multiple shipping charges on a single order, as well as a lack of shipping options to AK when I lived there. Emailed them to ask about shipping options, no reply. I hope this BS expedites their going under, but I doubt much of their customer base will stop spending with them.

Re: Cheaperthandirt.com rolling over? $59 pmags?
Why should they sell at a price point that people will clear out their stock and through it up for double on Gunbroker.
They are a retail outlet trying to provide goods at a price that won't be sold for a profit....

Re: Cheaperthandirt.com rolling over? $59 pmags?
There whole setup is garbage... Realized that long time ago when I ordered a group of products from them that cost all separate shipping fees (very high) because they where coming from different warehouses. Site was never manged well either, difficult to navigate.
CTD= the dirt they buy for $20/Lb must seem like a deal to them because their prices suck too.
Now they just suck even more than before-

Re: Cheaperthandirt.com rolling over? $59 pmags?
I told 'em to fuck off, good luck with their new anti customer base, and to remove me from their list.
I saw this coming. They did too. They pulled mags to let everyone else run out, played on anti sympathy, then they jacked up the prices. A local store, that had a decent past, now has mags jacked up for the same price.
I refuse to deal with them anymore. When this blows over I will continue to boycott gougers. See, in this environment, they are making a killing on first time buyers. Those folks likely will never buy another one again. I have a buddy that way, he got one pistol during another rush. But me, I'll be buying this shit until I die. If you want to define your customer base as panic buy individuals, good luck when there isn't a panic. Because it is customers like me that keep your asses in business during the rough times.
At least I didn't get caught with my pants down this time around. I don't have as many cool rifles, but all of my shit will be functional long after I'm dead and gone.
Also, hats off still to Rainier Arms. Poor guys are sold the fuck out, completely, but they never gouged during this. Even knocked $2 off reasonably priced mags I bought --said they were mispriced on the site. That is integrity and it is a value I sponsor.
PS, after Gabby Giffords got shot, I ordered FAL mags from CTD, and those bastards had the gall to send me a box of bent up RUST. Totally unusable. But for full price. I sent that shit back. I also recall buying two of those Beta mags from them (yeah, fucking laugh it off) and they mysteriously pulled them after I bought the last two... Then they put 'em up for gouge prices later I find out. This is CTD's MO, this is how they do business. When they see you, they don't see customers for life, they see dollar signs. Fuck them, I hope they go under. Plenty of folks willing to take their business and run it with morals and ethics. I understand supply and demand, but you know what? the supply is THERE! I have 30 of those $60 7.62 Pmags on backorder for LESS than $20 ea. Upon calling Magpul, I find out they will be shipped NLT than end of January.
SO, all the mark ups are SHORT term lack of supply --it is there, it just isn't immediately available (except in CTD's case, where they have plans in place for panic buys and ensuing price gouging it seems). So marking them up as much as five-fold, knowing good and well they have huge backorders themselves due in within a couple of weeks, that is the definition of price gouging the way I see it.
If you spend money with these assholes, you aren't doing us, or yourself, any favors. If you see ridiculous prices, remember where you saw them and don't forget later on. Being a little high or a little markup on prices is one thing. Re-pricing your current stock with three to five-fold markups is entirely another.

Re: Cheaperthandirt.com rolling over? $59 pmags?
Vote with your dollars.
As an aside, I just picked up 80 Okay Industries USGI grey teflon, green follower mags for $8 ea, though I'm distributing them at cost to friends and family. No buy low, sell high for me.

I also stopped looking at their site years ago, after seeing astronomical shipping charges for items that could have shipped for 1/4 the price. Now, with their current gouging tactic, I'll never check back there.
As someone else said, the Pmags are just facing a short-term supply shortage. They'll be back. I had been planning to order another 5 pmags prior to the CT shooting, but hadn't gotten around to it. I ended up just placing a backorder on Brownells for ten mags. I don't need them immediately, and I presume Brownells will ultimately fulfill my order (at the regular price, not $50/mag).

I honestly wonder how they will be able to stay in business in the future.
This is a communitee that is very tight knit and has a long memory and doesn't take well to getting screwed.
I hope they go under

Pretty much this.
They have never been one of my go-to places when I was looking for something as they mainly sell Chi-com shit or their prices sucked, but in the rare occurrence they popped up on a search and had a better price, it was quickly killed by their shipping/multiple shipping costs that pretty much always priced them out of it.
Whoever setup and manages their logistics needs a new line of work because it is very obvious they have no fucking clue as to what they are doing.
And remember, this was BEFORE any of this other shit happened.

Reasonably priced Pmags are still out there. My dad saw about 100 Pmags in stock at an Academy Sport in E. Texas on Friday for $14.99/ea.

Re: Cheaperthandirt.com rolling over? $59 pmags?
I kicked CTD to the curb years ago, their in store customer service is just as crappy as their on line.
The store in Ft. Worth (the Original by the way) claims the store and the catalog are two seprate intities, but they have a catalog counter in the store. If you buy a catalog item and in store items you have to go to two different counters to pay for the items.
They act as if they could care less if you buy anything or not.
Besides most of the crap they stock now days is low quality knock offs and factory seconds.
