Please don't support this...

This is a similar post I made when PSA was mentioned. I can only say that, at these prices, please wait. Encouraging this type of pricing practice will only keep this type of thing going for way too long.

If I may... Let me preface by saying, it is a free market world but... what's wrong with this picture PSA? And, yes, the big C took my order AND notified me that it shipped today. You should be ashamed of yourselves...

Why should they 'be ashamed of themselves'? If I am dumb or desperate enough to pay that for 325rd of .22lr HP, that is between myself and the supplier. Free Market world indeed.

Free market, but I'd stop shooting before paying that much for .22LR.

Noted.

Old argument but when a business gets so greedy it compromises the ethics of 'fair' market, I question the ethics of those running the company. I fault no one for making a profit but are you saying this is ethical toward your fellow shooters? Many gun owners consider themselves a fair group who are looking out for each other and our 2nd amendment rights (all rights hopefully). A sort of "brotherhood" if you will. How about those who can't or don't have a ability to do searches to compare pricing. Or someone who recommends PSA because they have bought there before so someone takes their word that they are fair. If people continue to support these gougers (can you find another name?) MORE THAN DOUBLE THE MONEY, SIR! they will continue to gouge. Then there will be no hope in sight for a 'fair, free market'. When I know people who are making barely enough money to pay bills, clothe their children, put food on the table and repair their car and all they want is a few hundred rounds to either shoot with the kids on the weekend or have a few hundred rounds put away, I have little patience for this type of retailer. You have as much right to express your acceptance for this practice as I do against it.

Thank you and God bless.

Now hear this:

The buyer sets the price.

I repeat:

The buyer sets the price.

That is all.

 

[old&slow]

Is it stupid to ask that price ? Or stupid to pay that price ?

You can ask any price you want. Doesn't mean I'm willing to pay that price.

 

[MattLarmore]

Supply and demand...this is economics in a nutshell...

Yes it is.

Who wouldn't pay that price for rare and collectable Swamp People Special Edition boolits.

Just think, you can choot alligators at home just like the guys on TV.

And 375 alligators for $65 in ammo is pretty reasonable.

My letter to Palmetto

Consider me a former customer. Your pricing for .22lr ammo specifically CCI is obscene.
These are price's that far exceed even the gougers on Armslist. You should be ashamed.
The complaint's are on several forums. Your sacrificing your long term business for short term profits. Keep it up and you'll be out of business.
