When I first started promoting the Taurus G2C they were well under $250. Now they are barely under $300 and we have not raised our percentage. They have gone up from the distributor and actually that just makes sense. The companies like Taurus bring out a new gun and price it at giveaway prices for the first 3 months, and during this 3 months they don't make diddly on them. Then the prices have to start going up. The new Taurus' are being made in their new Bainbridge Georgia plant and they are doing a helluva job but simple economics have to come into play. When we were selling them for under $250 people were coming up from Phoenix to buy them as they were almost $500 down there. A fellow bought 4 of them and was quoted $2200 in Phoenix. He ended up paying less than $1000 with us. These days my guess would be they are going for well over $600. Even at $300 you are still getting a helluva great little pistol. So it isn't gouging, it is economics.

all shops will eventually raise prices, without gouging.
