Cheaper than Dirt responds to Obama announcement...

[jb1911]

If it wasn't for the low information gun owner, cheaper than dirtbags would be out of business by now.

No one complains about the price of factory Ruger Mini 14 mags anymore

 

[Ripper]

they must have watched a totally different Presidential Address than I did. Cause I think they be going the wrong way with the price.

This is the formula CTD uses to price their magazines.

PRICE = (0.0524*CAPACITY^2) + 1.760 * CAPACITY - 9E-13

I just got an email from dirtbags telling me that they have magazines in stock. I clicked on the link for the Colt 20 round magazine for ar 15s and they want $129 for ONE. I sent them this email:

I was just looking at some magazines on your website because of an email that I received. $129 for a Colt ar15 magazine is an obscenity. Profiteering off of a tragedy is as bad as our leaders trying to take away our rights because of a tragedy.

Please take me off your email list, you will never get another cent of my money.

I deleted my CTD bookmark last month and removed myself from their e-mail list at the same time. They will never get a dime from me again.

Great response. I thought the same thing when I opened the email and checked out a couple prices.

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Laughable at best! I wonder if someone will actually buy that.

 

[MillenniumC5]

I have never bought anything from them, after seeing the prices they are advertising on items I don't think I ever will.

Cheaper Than Dirt just had a name change.. It's now Lower Than Dirt.

Just like the Obumma I also have my BAN list, and Lower Than Dirt is on it.. With a few other on-line retail out lets...

 

[SecondhandSnake]

Its now $699

Holy hell. Did they get taken over by an oil company or something?

 

[Rhino12]

The problem is that their name is inherently vague...

They said cheaper than dirt without defining the amount of dirt. By my rough estimates, that magazine is approximately 53.6 TONS of fill dirt (approximately $13.04 per ton). Maybe their dirt has uranium or other precious/rare earth metals embedded and they value it higher?

All that said...emotions + politics + high demand + low supply = CRAZY high market costs... All the more reason to relax, save your money and buy this stuff off people whenever the prices drop back down.

 

[Movealongmovealong]

You don't have to buy from them, either.

I got a sweet deal on a shotty from them a few months ago. Can't say I've had them bait and switch, so I got what I paid for, and it was the lowest price I could find.

 

[xfrostybeersx]

Price is now$399

 

[Smokepole]

Price is now$399

apparently not getting any takers and LOTS of nastygrams from FORMER customers.

Cheaper than Dirt has become Dirtbags!

 

[drillsgt]

They just keep digging the hole deeper, who's running things there?

 

[Snavelybob]

Seriously.. P.m. Me if you have to

Stopped selling ARs at least and maybe firearms in response to Newton. Then after taking some heat for a week or so came back saying business was so good they had to revamp ordering and service for their customers. Typical marketing/publicity double speak. They just wanted to upgrade their prices 200%.

I have rarely bought from them and never really found their prices to be competitive. I know I won't be buying from them in the future. I will support Larry "Thanks for your business" Potterfield, Dillon, amongst others..
