Good! I was looking at their prices today. Absolutely outrageous.
Good! Even when prices and availability was good, they were more expensive than most places. I'm glad to see them finally get what's coming to them.
Great, now bust about 100 more online retailers might send a message.

Multiply that fine 10x and then close them down. Their value rests somewhere between whale scatology and blow fly hatchlings.
As far as I'm concerned, they can charge whatever they want, and let me decide if i want to pay that.
Now if they advertised one price and the cart price was different, thats a problem if you were not paying attention.

Price gouging has been a dead horse in (sound) economics for decades, but no matter how much you rationalize for it, it will still be considered by many as "The Original Sin". Let them charge what they want, it's the consumers who set the prices when they agree to buy, and they [the sellers] provide a much needed good in times of scarcity...Sorry, back to oil changes

They gouged in the last crisis. $100 for a PMAG. $1.50/round for 5.56.
I swore then that they would never get another dollar of mine.
Nothing true about their company name. Nothing.

Didn’t know it was illegal other than essential goods during a state of emergency. If they want to charge $1000 for a magazine and never sell it, why should that be illegal? Especially online when another option is a click away.
Yes they did, and i have not spend a dollar with them in the last 10 years or so.
Well looking at price and supplies they aren't alone. All of these sites have taken a lesson from Big OIL and Pharma!
About $12.
Which is what I've paid.
I know Magpul didn't raise their prices, so, CTD was marking them up obscenely.
I agree that the market should decide. It is also true that the market (me, I've bought over 200 mags for various firearms) can decide NOT to buy from that company. That is the market deciding as well.
Ain't that the truth,
Gas was 1.64 1.5 weeks back, now they jacked it up to 2.49,
MI AG is silent, newspapers are silent, lol, human greed knows no boundaries
Texas getting it right again!
Can someone be liable for "price gouging" on non necessary items?
I can see groceries and fuel - but guns and ammo?
I'm having a hard time understanding this. Are gun dealers obligated to keep pricing flat?
Why does anyone even care when they can just go elsewhere?

Unfortunately you have a sense of entitlement by many Americans. Many of these people on the gun forums who criticize this practice of raising prices due to supply/demand are also staunch anti-socialists, and yet, ironically believe the government should get involved and impose pricing controls on guns/ammo.
I sold some excess ammo recently on gunbroker.com and received a number of “hate” emails from entitled conservatives who accused me of price gouging, one of them even called me a B!den supporter and said I “was part of the problem”. I kindly explained to the entitled gentlemen that this was a no-reserve auction, and I did not set the price he sees-the people bidding do. I also asked him for an apology which never happened and he further berated me. I told him he was an idiot and blocked him.
Also ironic, is that many of these same entitled people are also ammo hoarders, BUYING AMMO THEY DONT NEED, causing the actual demand!
