Cheaper Than Dirt racks up 123 price gouging complaints

#1

Post by iratollah »

Texas attorney general’s office had received more than 1,000 complaints of price gouging before the month of March was over. Many had to do with sticker shock on typical essentials, such as toilet paper and gasoline, and most were directed at big-name companies such as Walmart and Amazon. No company received more (price gouging complaints) than Cheaper Than Dirt.

Most of us know that CTD was never accused of having good prices.

They are based in Texas and I do believe Texas dirt is the most valuable in the country. There is no other dirt I would even think of living on. :mrgreen:

I have never found CTD to be cheaper than other online sellers. As a rule, I avoid CTD.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't CTD do this before back in 2013? I recall AR magazines doubling in price overnight.. :totap:

After their last bit of nonsense doing the same thing after Sandy Hook I haven't even looked at their site.
