I don't know about Forum etiquette.

But IMO they clearly were not responding to you. Your post was clean, and much appreciated by all of us here on 2A.

It appears they were responding to your post as it prompted ill-informed posts down the line about price gouging. They were just providing the information.

The minute I saw your post, I knew the AR prices had to be for some High End ARs but apparently not everyone is familiar with OGC.

Just giving a thrid party perspective. And keep up the informative posts SST. 

This time it even goes as far as the manufacturers.  We are seeing 15 to even 30 percent hikes on products that wouldn't even be considered for a potential ban!

You will notice that the lines that haven't changed their prices, like sig and s&w are exactly the same price at OGC as they always were.  I'd very much like an example of what you consider us price gouging so we can open up the math.  I'm not being confrontational, or calling anybody out, I'm really willing to share the cost basis differences.

Whoa, I was on your side!  I know you work hard to keep your prices low.

Yep!  I've been in the shop when Carter has offered to pull out his invoices, showing exactly what it costs him to bring some of that stuff in.  At the end of the day, they need some profit margin to stay in business and I am 1000% good with that! 

I'll always buy from any of our local gun stores!!!! Support local business cause without them we wouldn't have shit!!!

I think the stress of all this panic buying has gotten to everyone....

I'm surprised and disappointed OGC succumbed to price gouging.

It was already hard enough to buy anything but ammo there (internet is quite a bit cheaper.. as much as they try to claim otherwise) but I tried to do my part to support local business however now that I see they're jacking up the prices I'll be sure not to send any more of my business their way.

Hell even ammo is easy enough to ship in via freight forwarder. Unless you're buying a few boxes at a time (in which case there's plenty of places on island that are cheaper).

/Rant-Off

Have you ever tried ammo/gun internet orders? Once all the shipping, FFL hazmat fees etc add up you'll be likely over the in store price. I'm not saying that is the case with every sale but its not as simple as just the price you see online. OGC and the majority of our LGS try their best to get the best prices out there but higher inventory prices from the manufacturers have to be pushed onto the customers. 

No offense to anyone but, Waah Waah.

WTF do you expect if you wait until now to buy your guns and ammo.

You don't hear me complaining about lines, prices, inventory or gouging.

In life timing is everything.

Not everyone can have hundreds of guns and a hot wife like me.

Thanks KK I was waiting for someone to say it.

lol tell em KK

It's a free market, the sole purpose of a business is to make the maximum profit.  If the price is too high, shop somewhere else.  Although a smart business will also make sure they keep their customers in the long run. 

To add to the other posts, if a business sells their stuff cheap in a time like this, alot of people will buy stuff up just to resell it at higher prices.  I'm sure alot of those pmags and firearms gun stores sold are already being resold now.

I agree. free market. But you whine on a different level.
While you dont complain about LGSs and their prices, you do ad stomp, insult and low ball personal ads here.

Waah waah Ren.

Get a personality, dick head.

I buy guns for what I believe they're worth.

You can call it low balling, I call it intelligence.

And you stomp ads as much as anyone.

So STFU

i been buying what i could afford and i am at the point where i dont need another gun ..... But another ak or ar would just fit nicely in my safe (not that i can afford one after the baby's dr bill i got today    )

now on OGC prices " OGC TRYS TO KEEP THEIR PRICES LOW" right now shit cost a lot because of the demand ..... thats the way it is .... and as for all the gun stores "THEY ARE THE GOOD GUYS" they are participating in an industry that is very volatile and as far as laws and regulations are concern "insane" if a AWB goes through how many of these gun stores are going to stay in business and to what extent modern sporting rifles are a large chunk of their sales... Imagine you're a business owner and you learn that possibly in the months or so 80% of your business will be wiped out and you know it could happen... You are responsible for all your employees your bills and your rent along with your household payments ... Now let's say that no ban of any kind goes thru .... the market is flooded and firearms accessories and ammunition... there is a chance of their business could drop off to nothing because of the surplus .... I don't know how any of these gun shop owners can sleep at night .... So it's back off of them and get  of how are the shelves at ogc .... or any other gun store

anybody who wants to complain about supposed "price gouging" should either open their own business or work at a retail shop and figure out what it takes to get a good product at a fair price.  If you don't like what any particular store is charging, don't shop there.  simple as that.  to claim that they are price gouging is uneducated and unfair.  I'm not making excuses or apologies for anyone, I'm just stating that it's really difficult to run a profitable business with lots of happy customers.
