I’ve dealt with Cheaper Than Dirt for years, and have no complaints. As far as charges of price gouging, I would defend them in the same light as I did gas stations during after Hurricane Sandy here in NJ: When someone sells you something, they have to replace their stocks. If it will cost more to replace it (as happened with Sandy), then how can they stay in business by selling it at the lower price? Should they sell 1000 gallons of gasoline for only enough money to buy 750 gallons for their underground tanks?

Until the recent rush started depleting stocks this company enjoyed a good reputation and lived up to its name. Never had issues with shipping costs, though I noticed when buying from Amazon that there was some default (that you could switch if you noticed it) that had you selecting expedited delivery. Since I always ordered from Cheaper Than Dirt by phone, it never came up; the operator asked how I wanted it sent, and I could always opt for the standard delivery.

Their name should be Cheaper than Diamonds. $99.00 for a stinking Pmag. Give me a break.

I’m with you - it may piss some folks off when Capitalism does its thing, but they can’t have it both ways - they’re either for it or not for it and should stick by their principles whether or not it offends their sensibilities.
