I saw new C Products 30s change hands for $39 + tax in a gun store.
I seem to recall Pmags on bulletin boards asking $75.
Just curious: do any of y'all remember what prices AR mags were actually fetching during the Panics?

Gun store I was working at was selling aluminum (DPMS?) mags for $39.
I couldn’t believe people were buying them.

Best I can recollect was picking up used pmags for a buddy at $35/ea. Grabbed four total for him. The only reason I remember what he paid was because he found them via the internet in my neck of the woods so I paid for them and he paid me back. I remember at the time telling him he was crazy but then he showed me online where people were paying $50 for a new pmag.
This was during the panic of 2012. I was deployed when Obummer was elected so was not a part of that shit show.

Post Sandy Hook, I went with a home-based FFL buddy of mine to sell a case of PMAGs in a parking lot.
He sold them on Gunbroker auction, started at $1, the frenzy ran them up to $3500.
The dude who won the auction and drove 4 hrs each way to get them FTF, paid cash.
It wasn't remotely the highest I saw them go either.
The distributors were cleaned out in a day, same buddy thought about buy 50 cases but by the time he decided, all he could get was 5.

Cheaper Than Dirt was selling PMags for $100/ea after Sandy Hook. I stopped doing business with them after that.

Right now you can get Pmags 10 for $100 if you look. Palmetto has D&H 30s for $7.

I sure hope not. I know a lot of people were upset by that. I remember BCM having a message on their website stating they weren’t going to raise prices to panic levels, but that meant they were basically sold out of everything all the time.
