Let's rename this Cheaper Than Dirt opinions..... :)
« on: February 01, 2014, 11:48:44 AM »
CTD has the P01 for $515 and free shipping!!!  Won't get ANY better than that I suspect EVER, so go get em kiddies while their hot.  I got another one, plus I also picked up yet another AR15, the S&W 15 Sporter for $583!!!!

http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/9-50703

$1100 for a P01 and an Ar15 FREE SHIPPING.  Hmmmm, wonder if they have a MAJOR overstock???  Night before last the exact same stuff was $622 for AR and the P01 $554.  Dropped overnight!!!

That's a good price. Add the FFL charge and no charge for shipping, as it is free, then that's still one of the better prices I've seen lately.

They are also offering 3 P-09s in stock at Warehouse 3 for $459.89.

I guess I got lucky. I was at a local pawn shop today and they had a new P-01 for $499. Two mags in the box, the black rubber grips, cleaning tools, etc. It is marked "12" on the slide, I assume it's a 2012 model.  If this snow ever melts, I'll be hitting the range with it.

CTD and Dick's both suspended "assault rifle" sales when we needed them most to stand fast.

So I won't buy anything from either firm.

Not only that, but CTD was price gouging as bad as anyone and worse than most.

Supply and Demand my friends.  Its been around since the age of man.... Personally, I don't blame them.  I am a plumber and when we had a HARD freeze and hundreds of people were calling at once I was charging PREMIUM too!!!!  Get my butt out on a cold day to crawl under an ice cold water filled crawl space when NO ONE ELSE (demand) would do it, I gave them service (SUPPLY) and charged them premium...

I like CTD and I buy the cheapest!!!  If they have the best price, they get my money.  That simple.  Not losing $50 out of principle.

I didn't see anyone complaining when they were CHEAPER than the rest, so why complain when they were MORE than the rest.  They had a product EVERYONE wanted.  In case this surprises anyone, they are in biz to MAKE MONEY!!!  100,000 people wanted a rifle and they only had 1,000.  I charge more too!!!!

How many individuals sold their AR for $1900 that cost them $900?  A slew.  I know I did and I sleep well at night.  If idiots persist in making a run for the gun shops every single time there is a shooting, then its called an ignorance tax!!!

I think the fact so many people are not buying from them is driving their prices right now.

Na, they are bigger than Amazon....not really but they are huge. The few who don't buy from them doesnt bother them one bit!!!

They have always had pretty cheap prices.  What they have now is a major overstock left over from the gun run last year.

It's not about raising prices, they actually canceled orders already paid for because they could sell it for more money after the panic. That is just absurd. I love good deal just like everyone else, but at some point you have to draw the line in sand and stand by it.

I concur with Edin, I had my order canceled on an AR and 20 Pmags last year during the price hike just to see them sell the same items for triple the price I paid for it. After calling there CS I was told that at the time when I placed my order it was already out of stock and there is nothing they can do about it, what a BS. They also charge you extra for shipping because they say the items are in different warehouses which are located next to each other, I would understand extra shipping if the items were actually shipped separate but that's not the case, they just try to stiff you for every dollar they can.
