I have ordered from CTD during normal times. Yes, I remember the elevated prices on magazines duirng the last shortage period. But I have never ordered any of that stuff. I would never buy a 100ct box of CCI 22LR ammo for $60. That is just stupid. I don't have to shoot that much.
Has anyone actually called them to see if the pricing was accurate for a 100ct box of CCI 22LR. I find it hard to believe that it is a real number.
Pricing.... I stopped at a local gunshop the other day when I was passing by. Was curious what their stock was like in firearms. They had firearms galore. My eyes landed on a "new" M63 Smith..... priced at $820. I may be a bit of a fool at times, but they had it priced above MSRP. Add on top of that, I think the gun was used. It was too dirty to be a new gun as they claimed. I just left. They are about to loose a regular customer over this kind of stuff. I can't trust them any more.
The same thing is happening or going to happen with CTD. Customers will scrutinize pricing and service after this shortage period ends and they will suffer.
