Cheaper then dirt

I bought 10 boxes of Bvac 308 OTMRP for 21.19 and had a itch to go back and order more the price now was 99.97 WTF either I got a deal before they got there gouging price up or just lucky.

CTD has been dramatically increasing their prices on everything. Talk about a name that doesn't live up to it's meaning. They have consistently been higher priced on all ammo and magazines since the beginning of the year. I saw 30 round pmags that were going for $11-12 pre-hysteria up on CTD for $99.99! LOL

I've pretty much written them off as a company for my business. Cabellas has been doing well on ammo prices, availibility could be better but I was able to score some 124gr 9mm FMJ ammo for $16/50 box, slightly higher than it should be but nothing over the top so far. Midway USA is another that's been getting my business.

You could edit the title of your post to read 'Dirtier than Cheap'

Also Midway is out of every type of ammo I need ....maybe I have to check multiple times a day ???

Just like anywhere else at the moment. People are constantly scanning the online ammo resellers and things are selling out fast. slickguns.com seems to be a decent place to get a heads up on stock availability. Just be prepared to make a decision at that time because any hesitation will result in the product being sold out.

I was able to pick up 6 boxes of 9mm ammo from cabelas online, which I have not been able to find at any of the local B&M stores for the past two months. I think their stock lasted about an hour before it was sold out.

CTD wants $39.59 fr a box of 20 of them and they're not all that highly rated!

I sold some first rate Lake City M80 Ball to a local club member for $25.00 a box this week and he acted like I was robbing him.

I should have told him to go to CTD instead. :roll:

My Nephew drove down to CTD last weekend. The prices did go up and things have
changed. The grey market wheeler dealers on the web have triggered some changes at the retail level.

That's a deal for a box theses days for lake city, if he was like that I won't have even sold them to him, I'm sick of people complaining about prices, it's called supply and demand people, if you want it you will buy if not don't sit and bitch about the price, just because some of us have been buying ammo long before these new people were even thinking about guns. Sorry for the rant I'm just sick of dumb people, and glad to be a stock piler of ammo lol
