Well Larry got me again. I ordered som AR Stoner mags in 7.62x39, cheapest prices I could find on the internet, at least for what was in stock. One thing I did notice though, they were the exact same prices I paid for them in 2019.

OMFG the tears of Capitalism... This will likely come as a surprise to you. It is also Capitalism when consumers take their business away from establishments that engage in exploitative pricing practices.

What's funniest, is not a single bit of "knowledge" has been shared as to demonstrate that uncle Larry has gouged in any unscrupulous manner, or even so much as the identity of the item in question. Didju see the price of knitting needles? The whorer.

i don’t see how a business that sells firearms and ammo exploited anybody..
You mean Like slave labor?
If you don’t like the price don’t buy it. If enough people agree with you then supply will outpace demand and prices will fall.
This is high school level Econ.

Those jack wagons got me for 3 more boxes of 243 80 TTSX for $50/box! What the hell? Got an email notification that it was in stock, then clicked like 4 times and the next thing I know I get a UPS notification! Didn’t have to go to Walmart in my jammies...or a beef jerky oops..gun show.
And some son of a bitch will have the nerve to leave it on my porch.
Larry doesn’t know what he’s doing!! The horror!!

Here’s an idea... shop around until you find the best delivered price you can and then buy it, if it’s still there.
I’ve been buying from Larry and many others throughout the current mess, and have seen no evidence of gouging from any of them. I’ve run into some who clearly are, and so probably have most. The solution is to let them keep their schitt.

Let's look at one of the items that was in my cart at Midway.
60 grain Partitions. $39.99 at Midway when they were in stock. At the same time they were in my cart at Midway, they came in stock at Natchez at $29.49. So, Natchez earned my business and at the same time, to spread out the cost of shipping, I added some things to my order. Midway still had their bullets when Natchez sold out again. Midway's higher price kept me from pulling the trigger. In the meantime, a competitor who has kept prices reasonable earned my business.
Obviously the $250 Midway lost won't bankrupt them. But if and when things normalize, I will do my best to give Natchez all of my business. Previously my orders were pretty balanced between the two of them. How many people are there that are of the same mindset. Reading around, I am far from being alone.
I am not going to raise hell about Midway. I may still buy from them in the future, but I'll remember these times. It's simply a cold unemotional business decision on my part.
What's funniest, is not a single bit of "knowledge" has been shared as to demonstrate that uncle Larry has gouged in any unscrupulous manner, or even so much as the identity of the item in question.

I guess you were too busy spinning off another inane post to read. I am not great with percentages but that looks like Midway is about 25% higher on an item than Natchez is. They are normally very close to each other on most items.

No, I just don't read your posts generally because you ride bicycles and wear Spandex. LOL . It's Rinb's $20 overpriced item in question not whatever you posted, which I still haven't read... LOL
Didju find out what Larry paid for said item? Fuuck no.. So, the gouge is completely imaginary without said information. Hmm, maybe shop elsewhere if'n the price don't bring joy. I can find dozens of items that Larry's selling less than others. BFD
The whorer...

Start watching GA precision, they haven’t jacked up their prices - they know people remember behavior like that...
George’s stuff moves the second he gets it but he’s keeping the prices at what they distributors are pushing plus the normal overhead costs... The inflation stuff Midway is doing is a suprise to me.

Larry doesn’t know what he’s doing!! The horror!! I hear that. I needed 6mm ARC dies, an AR scope mount and wanted to snag the newest Hornady manual. Put it in my cart but needed 4.70 more to get free shipping, added a 6.5 Grendel Crimp die and got free shipping, immediate email the order went thru and the package said it will hit me in April... I tried Midsouth, Graf's and Natchez. None of the 3 had all of the stuff I wanted, so Larry got my business. Didn't see more than a buck or two difference in price between any of them on that order.
