CTD was one of the first to stop online sales of firearms after Sandy Hook, I think “Dick’s” (holding true to their name) beat them out by pulling evil black rifles from their shelves.

It had nothing to do with the “rush of sales and the backlog it caused” – they sold out the 2A community due to pressure over online sales of firearms. And it wasn’t even real pressure at that point, it was only rumors of pressure. They even came out and stated that they wanted to “reevaluate” their stance on online firearms sales.

Now, prior to that I had a decent experience with CTD, fast shipping and I had good luck with their dial-in support which only had to use once or twice. AND i am not calling for a boycott on CTD, HOWEVER I personally will NEVER spend another dime with them, that goes double for Dick’s (and their new “Field & Stream stores also).

As far as the “price gouging” I don’t give too much worry about that. However, just for sake of conversation, their price on 30rnd MagPul mags went from $14 to $99 overnight, far ahead of anyone doubling normal prices on them.

Agreed, Id love copper cookware but my seasoned cast iron will just fine for a lifetime. Cost.. inexpensive.

The entire response I was thinking “Iron Skillets”. The ONLY time we don’t use an Iron Skillet is because we’re cooking so many things that we’ve run out of Iron Skillets and have to go to the Emeril pot set we have.

Eggs, meats, asian stirfry, jalapeno poppers, fried chicken/fish, literally doesn’t matter what it is.

Oh i guess my wife uses different pots for pasta, so I’m wrong on that one.

I can’t remember off hand when i bought mine (shortly after they came out with paradimes), but I definitely got them. Great product, hopefully they come through this intact so i can buy more paradimes. Such a shame too because its the only realistic fractional on the market.

If you ordered pre-BK then Jack’s right in that you’d be considered a creditor at this point and you should have received a notice declaring you as such. The problem is where you stand in terms of priority amongst the various creditors (e.g. secured vs. unsecured). IOW’s, secured creditors take priority over unsecured creditors and as such, will me made “whole” first before the unsecured ones. If the debtor chooses to reaffirm their debts, all of the creditors will get what they’re owed slowly over time at which point the trustee will declare that all pre-BK debts to be satisfied, discharge the bankruptcy and “set the debtor free” so to speak.

In the event of the trustee declares that the debtor to no longer be a viable going concern, then the debtors assets are liquidated and the proceeds are distributed to the various creditors, those with higher priority (secured) taking precedent over lesser (unsecured) creditors.

I couldn’t possibly know whether MM could be considered a viable going concern but it doesn’t look good. The BK court appointed a trustee to determine whether MM could be saved from a business standpoint recently. The trustee will have the final say though (as to whether to liquidate or reaffirm) and it looks like a decision will be issued around mid-November. If they order a liquidation, then as a customer you’ll most likely get a de minimis amount if anything at all. If they decide to reaffirm then you’ll get something eventually, but only after everything else is satisfied. Bad news all around but that’s just the way it works unfortunately.
