The problem is, where? Guyana has been tried and that didn't work out too well.

What’s wrong with that? It’s there low price. It even says so.

I throw their catalogs away when they arrive. I can't get off the list. I've tried. I will NEVER buy from them again as long as I live. If they are the only source for anything I need, I'll go without.

I hope Amazon.com never steps in it too bad..It's quickly become my go to shopping resouorce, sometimes even for gun related stuff. There's been so many calls to boycott this retailer or that one for so many different reasons, I'm losing track. As for CTD, meh...if they have what I want at the lowest price, I'm buying. If they don't, I won't. Most have foregiven S&W and Ruger for their capitulation and betrayals, that in my mind were worse than this.

I knew CTD had tried to bend over its customers, but I didn't know to what extreme they'd gone. When I see this, where an item that today sells for $7 and the retailer still makes a profit, and that same item, then, sold for ~14 times that... even allowing for the cost to make the item at double what it was, that's still 700% profit.
I'm all for supply and demand and capitalism; there comes a point when it's mere profiteering, and that, I can't support. No one is forcing me to buy from CTD, and they're allowed to set their pricing however they see fit, just as I will choose not to patronize someone who is doing so. OTOH, if they learn the lesson and price in a way that I see as acceptable, like any other sale, I will consider them. I feel like people sometimes screw up and need a bit of latitude after they've gotten their spanking in the free marketplace, to prove that they have learned the lesson as to why they were wrong.

Provide what I'm wanting to buy at a fair price, and I'll look. (Keep in mind, I'm the guy that was ready to boycott Palmetto State when they jumped the price of mags from ~$7 to ~$9 on the basis of profiteering, until they dropped the price back down.(It was right after one of the many probably-engineered crises during the Obama administration. Funny... we haven't seen any of those in the last few months, under Pres. Trump. Things that make ya go hmmmm.))

Blessings,

This whole "America" thing was great while it lasted. Pack it up, time to go home.

$425 for jeans that look dirty. Because the type of people that would buy these have never seen a day of work in their life.

I think Mike Rowe said it best;

"The Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans aren’t pants. They’re not even fashion. They’re a costume for wealthy people who see work as ironic – not iconic. "

I'm not calling anybody to not boycott them. I guess it's just that I'm over it. I shop them but I'm not sure that I've ever bought anything from them in the first place. Seems like I can always find whatever I'm looking for cheaper than cheaper than dirt.

I've heard it said that it must be some pretty expensive dirt. Maybe it's the stuff they use on the $425 "dirty jeans"?

An Army photographer and 4 other members of her unit died after a mortar explosion during a training exercise in Afghanistan in 2013.

The Army just released the final images from the camera, taken as the explosion happened.

R.I.P. to these fallen soldiers and thank you for your service.
