Learned long ago not to deal with Cheaper Than Dirt.
Oh, I ordered some stuff and it was certainly adequate and shipped fine so there's no complaint there.
What frosted me was that at the FIRST sign of political upheaval, they because Crazy Expensive among the worst.
When things like ammo (or in this case, it mighta been high-cap mags) got kinda sketchy, some suppliers said outright, "we have what we have and we'll sell it for our regular price and whatever we get next, we'll sell it for that price."
I like that. That's good business.
But not CTD! I watched their prices QUADRUPLE OVERNIGHT. Same inventory. New price. That, IMO, is simple price gouging.
Oh, yes, the arguments of "replacement value" come up. But they never have an upright answer that doesn't smack of exploitation - profiteering on people when they're down.
See, that's not a legitimate business; that's just an oversized pawn shop.
So I just ignore them and no longer pass my money through their hands.
