    I guess.

    I tend to compare the Magpul resale practice going on to people selling their food-stamps/EBT for cash so they can buy liquor or go to the casino.

    Your tax dollars paid for the mags they are re-selling?

    I think you don't understand capitalism at all. Also look up price gouging.







    Noun 1. price gouging - pricing above the market price when no alternative retailer is available

    No, and I figured that comment would come. I mean people that attempt to profit from an act of goodwill are pieces of shit.

    That's why I added the caveat about the intent of what MagPul is doing. I don't believe in the term "price gouging" for reasons that have been explained here many times over.

    And the food stamps/casino analogy is a really poor one.

    Actually, an alternative retailer is available... backorder.

    Yep, I was just in a gun store today and they had racks of Pmags and still trying to sell them for $50 each. Even though the store was pretty busy, I didn't see a single person buy any.

    Backorder is not a retail source for an item. Buying an item above market price puts it in your hand. Placing an item on backorder does not. If it's something you need, backorder isn't going to do you any good.
