[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2104352, member: 93138"] I'm sure that there are reputable companies caught in a bad situation with this shortage going on. Most likely they're doing the best that they can given the turmoil. I'm equally sure that there are disreputable companies taking advantage of it. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Keep your need in check and don't let it make bad decisions for you. Count me as one of them. Ordered a butt-stock from them. Picture clearly showed a component that I'd have had to buy separately from others, and for a competitive price. Read the page thoroughly multiple times before placing the order, it never mentioned that component as either being included or excluded yet it was clearly in their picture of the butt-stock. No such part when the order arrived so I called them and got the run-around. The "CS" person that I talked to refused to send me to their supervisor. I think that the 'S' in their case stands for "screw", not "service'. As far as I'm concerned that was bait and switch, but a $15 part isn't worth the trouble of getting the local DA involved - even if they would pursue it (which I kind of doubt). However, Optics Planet made a enemy with the memory of an elephant over a $15 part and their attitude, and I'm not missing a chance to paint them in a bad light. [/QUOTE]
