Yup... there's a reason why I don't do any business with CTD.

You know, everyone is griping about the high price of ammo while lamenting that no one has ammo in stock. In my opinion, stores have been too slow to raise the price of ammo to prevent it from going out of stock due to hoarding. I don't like paying more for ammo, but I still want it available even if I have to pay more. This is basic economics.
So you're saying paying triple is ok as long as it's in a stock near you? Paying a little more is one thing but $0.25rd for .22lr is crazy. Add s&h you're $0.30rd.
Lord help me if the day comes that I "need" to buy .22lr at 30+ cents a round. If and when that day does come, expensive rimfire ammo will be the least of our worries. As to CTD...don't know about the dirt part, but they can go pack sand.
A high price for something available vs. a low price for something unavailable. You tell me which one makes more sense.
If you don't need any, then don't buy it. But for someone who needs it, they will pay the higher price. When supply catches up with demand, then the price will be forced back down because they won't be able to sell any at the higher price.
