This reads to me -- perhaps cynically -- like desperate back peddling from CTD.
They really blew it big with their core customer base after the Newtown tragedy by stopping all firearms sales and stating, from nowhere and with no explanation, that "CTD doesn't sell firearms"; then when things cooled a little on the shooting but customers were furious and not letting up, they suddenly sold firearms again with the excuse that it was all an order processing problem.
A seemingly transparent lie since to the best of my knowledge they were still able to process non-firearm orders through it all.
I don't mind companies probing to see what the market will bear, but currently listing new Colt 6920s at $3800 and Pmags at $100 is absurd even at the height of the most recent panic, much less now as prices are dropping.
Worse still are the many reported experiences of customer orders placed immediately prior to Newtown being cancelled as suddenly "out of stock" (after payment was given, item confirmed, and in some reports, shipping confirmed), then the cancelled order item re-listed immediately thereafter at panic prices.
Again, I don't mind sellers probing the market, but if you've entered into a finalized sale at a given price, squirming out of it on an "oops, out of stock" claim only to magically have the item back in stock a day later at double or triple the price is lousy.
I'm impressed at the anti-CTD sentiment burning up the gun forums far and wide, but I'm not surprised -- I'd say they earned it.
