That seems to be the new norm for Cheaper Than Dirt. The other day they were trying to sell Beta C 100 mags for $700 a piece.

Eventually prices should come back down. They won't until politicians find some new cause to harp on. I'm not aware of any manufacturers raising their MSRP's abnormally in respone to the current climate, it's retailers and panic buyers driving the current prices. When this all blows over and demand drops off abruptly, we may even be able to find some great deals for overstocked retailers or those trying to recoup what they spent on panic buying.
