I guess you don't get the fact that businesses need to make a profit to stay in business. If PSA orders or builds 10,000 lower receivers their price will be lower then a dealer that buys 10, 20, or 50 lowers. Different places have different overhead. Stocking firearms is expensive and there is a lot of overhead involved.

If we made $30 on everything we sold it wouldn't be worth our time. Take your calculator add up what you think it a business pays in rent, payroll, insurance, other expenses then divide that number by 30. And see how many firearms we have to sell every year to cover that. Then let me know if you think that is possible.

Don't get me wrong I understand that you can save $15 elsewhere. And $15 is $15.

Have a nice day

Dan, I like your post ^^^ and thanks for putting it out there for the "cheapasses" that complain about us "dealers" making a reasonable profit.

Thanks, but apparently a reasonable profit doesn't matter.

We are lowering the price of our Anderson lowers to $100. If you have already called in with a deposit we will subtract the $25 difference from the amount due. We appreciate everyone's business.

Thanks
Dan

Thanks for the info and don't mind the "cheap asses". :rolleyes:

Edit: Like anything else...don't like it see ya later. These same folks probably spend more on cigarettes and coffee in the morning any given week. I'll never understand why they have to give people a hard time over $10-15.

But why?

MDElite · Jul 21, 2014

Lower receivers are in. If you put a deposit down, stop on in and get your paper work started.

We have another batch on the way i if you missed the first Two.

Thanks

Yes you do need to make a profit, forget the crybabies and keep the lowers coming

Most people have no idea what it takes to run a business, ignore them.
I think the "community" aspect of MDS causes people to forget IP's are FOR PROFIT business owners.
The price is the price, pay it or move along.

bigdummy30 · Jul 21, 2014

I personally think you should charge a little less than your costs. After all ,the customer is always right.

And who cares if you're out of business in a month .

MDElite · Jul 21, 2014

Thank you guys for your support and understanding our side of things.

^^^^^^

EXACTLY.

And being an IP here isn't without it's own costs as well.

If it's possible, I always buy locally.

Augie · Jul 21, 2014

Dan, are you getting any Anderson upper receivers also?

jjsat · Jul 21, 2014

As a business owner myself I applaud the job that all the IPs and dealers do that I have come into contact with. Getting great service from a local dealer is worth the price.

I should be able to order the uppers as well. I would like to combine it with another order to save on shipping and small order fees through our distributors.

Thanks
Dan

Latest update from MSP

"...

You can of course complete the weapon with a heavy barrel and sell it as a non-regulated firearm but a lower receiver sold on its own required a 77R. "

This needs to be put on mdsp letterhead or as part of one of their bulletins.
