I am not sure why some folks in my circles talk so highly of CTD. Maybe they use to actually be Cheaper Than Dirt. I wonder if someone bought the company and changed a few policies. Maybe they should have changed the name as well. "Cheaper Than Concrete - Well Almost." They will pass on the price hikes from vendors but I was looking at ammo several weeks before the election was certain and still saw prices higher than what I could get at the gun shop here.
At least your gun shop isn't on the gouging band wagon. There's a store here in Austin that tried to charge me nearly $50 for one AK magazine.
Once all this dust settles, I may still "shop" there, but I'll remember who it was that tried to screw me and if there is ANY competition when I looking for something to buy, I'll buy it elsewhere.
Their ammo prices went up a dollar a day last week too. Last time I checked it was at $8.95 a box. I just remember that and it makes it easier to pay the $4.87 at Academy.
