    When did cheaper then dirt become a massive gouger??

    I got an email showing theyve got ammo in stock..

    $54 for a 50rd box of s&b 9mm
    Fmj 115gr..
    And similar for
    Other brands.

    Yes this is a serious post, ive never really looked at there stuff before until
    Today just out of curiosity, so all the sad trolling wastes of space can move on to the next. If you dont like the post, move on.

      An oxymoronic name for sure. A lot of CGers don't shop there along with Opticsplanet. Optics is famous for delaying "in stock" orders. Cheaper offended the 2A community with some policy or other...

                  Cheaper than dirt is a drop shipper. They sell mostly other people inventory. To get access to scarce stuff, they pay premium.

                  Optics planet is the same.

                  Their business is different in the sense that CTD ships faster than OP. I think CTD has a better system to have the supplier fulfill. OP’s delay seems to be due to them having to wait for the inventory to enter their warehouse for fulfillment or they have fully manual back end.

                  I only buy from the two is I need that last 5-10% savings or they’re the only ones to have it, and now I can wait.

                  Use the right tool for the right job. They have their purpose.

                    Not sure if this is a serious question, but I will give you a serious answer. CTDirtbgs have been massive price gougers since the beginning of time. The first recorded instance appears in the book of Genesis:
                    And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made; and God went online and beheld CTD price-gouging, and God was displeased, and feared his six days labor had been for nought.

                      Im not selling my ammo at all, but i have been getting these emails from these fools, and usually ignore them, but this one i just opened up for curiosity. But damn they probably charge per email or phone call.
