A while back CTD made a statement regrading some of the cost increases on magazines that they were raising the prices to slow down purchases. They were getting more orders than they could handle. Even with the jacked up prices ($99 for a 30 round steel AR magazine) they were still selling out.
Good. High prices on limited-supply high-demand goods means it’s available to those needing it. The cost of “out of stock” is much much higher.
