Then they received a bunch of nasty grams; near immediately. Then they tried to say they were just reviewing their sales practices/policies to make sure they were still in line with the various laws.
Then they blasted all their prices through the roof; not just on ammo. This was well before the prices really started to soar. They were selling AR mags (USGI made by the lowest bidder) for around $60 each when they were available elsewhere for anywhere from $15-30.
The one not entirely stupid thing they did, was donate to the 2d Amendment Foundation. But, by that point they had already pissed off a good portion of their customers. I know several people (myself included) that will not purchase from them; and I WAS a pretty frequent customer prior.
centerfiresystems, and sportsmansguide are awesome and I will continue to be their customer. They were continuing to have sales; while their prices increased, they were still offering lower than everyone else.
Yes. CTD angered its customers by some of its business practices and they will have a hard time trying to fix that perception.
Far as ammunition goes, I'll never buy from CTD after the gouging they did.
