For now, private citizens reserve the right to ask what they want for their private possessions just as everyone else maintains the right to use common sense and refrain from paying an exaggerated price. I will say I read a remark about some unknown persons being charged for selling hand sanitizer at crazy prices on EBay and the product was seized but that turned out to be mostly bogus in that the ad was simply dropped by EBay and no one was charged. People should be careful with EBay however, as selling there could constitute some form of retail business that might leave the seller open to such scrutiny if classified as anything but a private seller. Even yard sale laws vary state to state and could leave you at risk for more than you bargained for.
As for CTD, I laughed. That entire situation is comedic. I dropped them during the OBAMMY era when they apparently lost their collective minds. While I’m not shocked that there are people paying those prices, I was surprised that the order covered as many people as it did. At least 4000 sales anyway. Yeah, I know, stupid people can have money too, but I’ve heard that a fool and his money are soon parted.
CTD may wind up setting a fine example for other retailers in the shooting industry. They are likely learning a lesson about how exposed they are to situations like this because of what they sell. Ain’t too many bureaucrats gonna lose sleep over anybody in the shooting industry going down. I bet there’s nobody coming to CTD’s rescue on this either. Anyway, to a retailer that goes by a very misleading name at the very least, checkmate Cheaper Than Dirt!
