Price Gouging

Was at the local Bass Pro Shop today picking up some odds & ends, & I just couldn't keep myself away from the counter.

I was appaled at what I saw.

XDm 9mm $759.99

Is it just me or is this INSANE???????

What is the MSRP on this piece anyway?

I know I may be over reacting, but I am considering taking my business elsewhere.

Let me know what the local prices are around the country.

Anyone seen anything this high?

I paid $605.00 for mine out the door.

I think the correct term is profiteering.

MSRP for the black is $679 and $749 for the bi-tone.

It aint profiteering when know body buys them. I for one, will not pay an escalated price like that. Shop some where else and leave that one lay.
