I was just in and saw pmags priced at $24.99!..... Drove down the street to Quantico, and they were $14.99 for a windowed 30 rounder, and even less on checkout when I swiped my Quantico card.

maybe magpul has increased their msrp on them for future orders? Ponder that!

future orders would mean that those still in the store would be at current prices.

Sure, but look at how gas stations operate.

Gas stations do the same thing but no one complains when the local chevron jacks up the price of gas for the holidays or bad weather.

Gas stations operate on a completely different business model. SAA is playing with fire on this one.

They're totally price gouging and I'm pissed. They had one SAA stripped lower yesterday and wanted $189 for it! They had a complete aero lower with a junk parts kit, junk grip and junk tapco stock that they wanted $229 for! I'm thinking well, for $40 bucks the complete is a good deal compared to the stripped!

I understand that people are in business to make money, but raising prices that much is BS. I went elsewhere and paid a normal price for a better lower.

Price today not only based on what it cost you yesterday, but also based on what it is going to cost you, tomorrow, to replace what you sell today.

Rumor is, they keep a stock in back, keep little on the shelf, and claim thats all they have.

All My stock is open for sale, even the stuff in the back...and it is all the same price...and I have plenty to go around...My Gunsmith says many folks from CA trying to buy High Caps, and is running them off..But our ammo and mag sales have been brisk...

I have only bought two pistols there, but they were very competitively priced. Although that was before the election and current happenings.
