They need to change their name...

How about "Cheaper than ObamaCare" or "Cheaper than Obummers Vacation".

Good luck. .22 is gone! Bass Pro's shelves were empty as of 12 o'clock today. My local Walmart was sold out except for one box of .22 short and one box of .22wmr. Cabela's, Bass Pro, and Gander are sold out of bulk pack ammo. 4-5 week lead time for some stuff.

I will sell you my 10/22 for $1500 & 2 bricks of .22 for $900. One-time good deal for forum members.

What? It's only a dollar a round. Might as well go to the strip club with that money.

Glad I could help. I sent them an email telling them to pound sand and that I'll never buy anything from them again. I doubt it'll do any good.

I suspect rimfire ammo will be the fastest to replenish, but who the hell knows. I have always liked Midway for finding ammo online for reasonable prices.

Does this mean the prices on .22s will also start going through the roof?

If CTD can get $1K for a case of .223, more power to 'em. I suspect they'll sell just fine.

AND, it look like they have decided to not sell any guns either.

Any firearm link you click on has a new banner saying they don't sell guns: ex: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/2-SW812000

You are only getting teased at a strip club. With this deal you are actually getting fucked...

Not by much though... Cheaper than dirt my ass. Highway robbery, I'm glad I've never done business with them, and I don't plan on ever starting.

Saw this at a local shop as well, and laughed right out the door. This shit is getting downright ridiculous.

People are willing to pay obviously. If not the price will come down.

No offense but I always love the guys who defend any business practice. Our criticism of them is just as much part of the free enterprise system. At the same time I wish I was making that kind of money.

Exactly. They have the right to price their product however they want, and we have the right to tell them to go fuck themselves and hope they go out of business.

I am sorry I bought from them earlier this year - I didn't know about the 08 gouging. They have clearly forgotten who butters their bread.

Whatever the market will bear...however, I, and many like me, have long memories. Short term or long term business plan?

After CTD pulled similar stunts post-'08 election, I vowed never to buy from them again. However, in the ensuing years, when I'd want a particular item and surfed around the web (back when Google allowed you to compare gun items via their "shopping" link), CTD was often the least expensive option for the item I wanted (note: I did not say need, these are optional items we discuss on this forum). MY own personal economy is more important than making a statement on principle and not buying from someone. If I choose to boycott a company that is the cheapest option, and choose to pay more of my money, it's affecting exactly one person: me. It's not going to hurt CTD any more than folks boycotting Barnes & Noble or Amazon helped save the corner bookstore 20 years ago. Two years from now, if Americans are still allowed to even look at guns in a magazine, if I need a particular item, I'll buy it from whoever happens to have the cheapest price on it. I'm not going to hack my nose off to spite my face.

If that viewpoint makes me the devil, well, the media has already demonized anyone that owns a gun so stand in line.

Did Midway stop selling guns?
