Before you panic or slam the vendor, I bet those were .308 lowers, not .223. So $369 is about standard price for a striped .308 lower. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

This is not price gouging, even if you believe there is any validity to the concept of 'price gouging'.

Price went up in response to an anticipated ramp up in demand. I guess the demand is not high enough to support the higher price, so they don't sell.

Just like any claim of "price gouging", this is just normal standard supply and demand.
