Who's got the cheapest 100 round Beta-C mag for an AR15? I payed 250ish(or was it 285?) for one shortly after they first came out but sold it about a year later to one day get the new one with a clear back plate. It doesn't seem like they have come down much over the years.

+1. A stack of PMags is much better just about any way you look at it.
I already have 15 Aluminum U.S.G.I MilSpec(CProduct & Bushmaster) , 2 Steel H&K, and 2 Magpuls totaling 19 mags. The Magpuls are very nice and i would like to get about 6 more with the view window not to mention the 20 rounders i need for my RRA 10.5" pistol and Bushmaster Varminter.
I still enjoyed burning threw 80-100 rounds flawlessly in my $500 Olympic Arms Plinker when i had an original C-mag. I think they are designed very well compared to the 90 round snail drum mag. Compact,light,and efficient compared to a single steel drum. I never had a malfunction and they are just as "Operation" worthy as a Magpul if you ask me. I never even used the powdered graphite lube. A MG grade heavy barreled AR with C-Mags would make a poor mans M249 SAW.
With the price of ammo these days and not wanting to burn up a barrel i really just want one because I can and to show off to shooting buddys. I told myself i was going to get another one and I am while we still can. I already have enough Hi-Cap Glock,Beretta, and AK mags to last a lifetime.

You should be able to find them around $230 still, maybe a bit less on the actual price, but then add shipping and/or tax. Googling the product shows Sniper Country PX with them as little as $228, FYI.

I don't get why they are so damn expensive. Like others said, I would take 20 PMAGS.
I would love to have one, but refuses to pay $300 for a mag that saves me two mag changes in 90 rounds.

I think they're nonsense, but will defend your right to own one until I'm blue in the face.

In all seriousness, we could make the same argument about lots of gun products including P-Mags. In fact, I don't know why a lot of gun stuff is so expensive, except that it is what the market will bear. Even at $14.95, there is still some hefty profit in P-mags.
