Too Big Price Difference!

[Benzene]

I see G23 13-round and G22 15-round magazines at Academy for $29.99 each. Botach has the same magazines for $12. 95 each! Natchez has them for $18.99 each. Is there any good reason for this BIG price difference?

Is there any good reason for this BIG price difference?

Brick and mortar store versus internet seller.

how much is the shipping from each respective internet seller? i doubt that it will be enough to equal 29.99 but i always check the shipping costs on the internet dealers.

if the price with shipping and handling comes out to be almost the same (within 3 or 4 dollars) i will usually just buy it from the store so i can get it in hand immediately versus having to wait. if i'm spending 5 or more bucks then i'm gonna go via the internet.

Are you sure the Botach ones aren't the cheap Korean ones?

My daughter needed a left fender for her 2004 Dodge Neon. I found one on the internet for only 25 bucks new! Kicker was it cost 64 bucks for shipping. Buying local at a higher price often proves to be the cheapest.

Not cheap Korean ones

harmon rabb, when I noticed the huge price difference, I did call Botach and specifically asked about ANY DIFFERECE/VARIATION between the prices. They also advertise some for $19.95. The associate took a few minutes and told me that the "manager" confirmed that THEY ARE EXACTLY ALIKE.

I await the arrival.

OK, but do these magazines say, 'Glock, Austria' on them? If so I'd like to buy a few myself; but, everybody tells me to watch out for Botach. Please post whatever you discover.

Surely will!

Glock Doctor, I surely will post "whatever you discover". I specifically asked if these are ORIGINAL GLOCK NEW (NOT REFURBISHED) magazines, and was told "YES".

Got 'em!

I received the G23 mags yesterday, and I cannot find any difference between them and the ones I bought from Academy. I'll take an even closer look today.

I thought I'd share this information, as promised.

 

[Glock Doctor]

Thanks, much appreciated! Too bad I couldn't get any G-19 magazines at the same price.

Package

You are welcome, Glock Doctor. I did have that "even closer look", but all I could say is that the ones from Academy came in plastic packs while the ones from Botach came in the shipping envelope. I do NOT consider this of any significance.
