You are way wrong. CRAFM sold all their inventory within a week time. You make yourself stories and believe it.
The few gun they get are new trickled from distributor. Guns ordered a year ago showed up. They don’t order once a year, but all year around. So deliveries are staggered every weeks almost. They even received a Colt ordered two years ago last week. They purchase goods by the pallets and bullets by crate and all sell fast.
It’s clear you absolutly do not know what you are talking about.
I doupt very much they need your money by the way. It’s one of the biggest dealer and shooting club in the country.

OK, maybe I'm wrong. If that's the case, then I stand corrected; not going to argue with those who know more than I do about the market. I get the erratic nature of importation and supply constraints. But I also observe things like another vendor that as of this writing still has 4 unblemished SS MR920's left at $1.5K, while CRAFM has them listed for $1.7k. I'm glad to hear they price match. That might help some others out.
Do you work at CRAFM?
Did it ever occur to you that perhaps the people you claim are "complaining" do not need any additional handguns and have bought everything they needed before a freeze was even announced? Now, pointing out shady business practices to new members and people not in the know is actually doing the community a service. Ripping off customers is doing the opposite. Good day smartie pants.

Another retailer trying to profit on the panic. So we get screwed by government, screwed by private sellers gouging, and screwed by certain retailers preying on the panic. So much for solidarity and compassion for each other within the firearms community.
Pretty disgusting really.

To all the individuals complaining about how we (CRAFM) run our business, we invite you to make us an offer and you can run as you please
I also offer these individuals to submit their CV's as we are looking for staff and can get an inside look at how things are run
Many dealers like ourselves, had to pay a premium to get certain makes & models of firearms
Dealers purchase firearms from mainly distributors, who have also increased the prices, due to flying firearms in at the last minute, paying higher exchange rates, pay more for staff, etc, so those increase were passed on to us and unfortunately to our retail clients.
If a dealer has stock from 3 months ago vs a dealer getting stock 3 weeks ago for the exact same firearm, there will be a substantial difference
Thank you to those, who have stood up for us at CRAFM and understanding our situation and to those who have bashed us, we invite you to come visit us and submit your CV's
Our present government has definitely loves these bashers, in order to divide our great community

No. I am a regular customer. I know this place since they first opened their doors…they are great people who do their best to bring in what shooters need. Staff are mostly shooters too.

These businesses can sell for whatever they wish to, they pay to be on CGN and they're going to be losing a decent portion of income because of the government real soon.
If you don't like the price move on, as per CGN rules.

One thing constant since this ban is the whining. Businesses keep bringing in firearms until the last minute to give somone the chance to own the firearm they desire before the hammer falls, quite possibly forever. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy these firearms, so blasting them in their thread that they pay is somewhat rude in my opinion. Perhaps start a thread in the general forums if you want to complain? Nobody knows how much they paid for these firearms, so these accusations are without merit. I say this for every other dealer here, at least this is my opinion.
Guys, stop bashing. They have said they are open to offers and also open to price matching. Their prices have always been on the higher end, even before the Turd's ban.
For those who know the store/range, yes, it is a little more expensive even for a membership but the facilities and staff are top notch (even Frank, lol) and their prices reflect the markup needed to operate such a facility. And yes it my range I go to, and yes I am aware it costs more and perfectly content to pay/
Now, if you are interested in a handgun they have for sale, give them a call and make an offer. They might just say Yes...

So basically ordering from here online prevents one by default, from receiving the full benefit of their investment. Sorta like a gas station charging a premium for gasoline because they also shelve liquor.
Business is business and I'm not knocking anyone.

There are only so many distributors where vendors get their inventory from.
The gouging starts at the source, then the middle man, CRAFM in this case adds their markup to that.
Markup depends on their business model and costs, or greed
EE prices are just greed

To settle your doubt, i can confirm they received a shipment of Aliens in July. They had about 8 left when the announcement was made. Those sold immediately. Then they received a shipment in July.
So doubt all you want. But thats the truth.
Stop with the BS. Prices were increased by pretty much all - but not to your insanity "nuke the customer" before the ban hits.
The people who will be buying now - will likely mainly be the ones who just got their licenses.
You are taking full advantage of the ban to gouge these folks.

All these business are being actively targeted by their own government. If they have to charge more to make a bit more profit to stay in business longer to bridge the gap to a more sympathetic government I can’t knock them. In fact, I still want to thank them for working to get them in at all.
When you don't have to make a purchase yourself it is easy "not to knock them".
They are not charging a "bit" more.
MR920 for $1702; CZ P-07 for $1310
Come back and tell me you won't knock them after you have bought any at those prices.
