I was listening to Beck last night driving home from dinner, and he did a full 2 minute plug for CTD. Got an email from them today saying they had mags in. At 5 times MSRP. I sent Beck this in response:
Glenn,
I wanted to know if you were aware of the extreme gouging that your newest sponsor Cheaper Than Dirt is engaging in. Before the Sandy Hook shooting magazines and ammunition were priced competitively. However since the recent rush and everyone being unable to fill the massive orders, Cheaper Than Dirt has raised their pricing on average 5 times the MSRP for these same items. Please don't misunderstand, I understand supply and demand, however when none of the other outlets for shooting supplies are doing this, I find it irresponsible that you would endorse Cheaper Than Dirt as a sponsor of your show. I think that their gouging of customers is far beneath your ethical standards. I realize that this was an agreement in the works long before the current events, however I would ask that at the very least you address this issue with your sponsor before continuing to endorse them. I fear that your endorsement will lead to new people to the culture getting scammed when they are unaware that they are paying 5 times what that particular item should cost.
