my guess would be the current political shit and the surge of gun sales in 2020. #2 guess is mec-gar is slammed! handgun mags made in italy are good quality. last guess is the ppq is on the way out, so it just makes sense to buy a couple more spares.
i collect mags too, ive seen valmet, polytech, russian bakelite go for ~ $500... 1 mag!
Not trying to argue here but the original PPQ is no longer made and has quite an avid following and those mags are cheap and available.

Jus like everyone here, I hate what is going on. However I also feel that the dealers are taking advantage of us also. They are not paying 4 or 5 times the price of ammo, yet they raised the price 4 or 5 times the normal asking price. In some states price gouging is illegal on necessary items when there is a shortage. Not saying ammo is a necessity: BUT to each his own. As the saying goes,"Grin and bear it". But it sucks Big Time. Just my thoughts on this fiasco.

yeah im am aware no more ppq :mad:! i got x2 p99's, x1 ppq m-1 and X10 mec-gar mags. i have ~200 mags for for varias weapons.

after the clinton and obama era i got pissed with all the politics BS! so i stocked piled. i have plenty of everything! no way in hell im paying for the "drop the soap" prices from these dealers and sellers on weapons, ammo, mags etc. i feel for the op and good 2A supporrting people gettig rapped... but its times like this when you see that people are just funny animals.

I just took the order up to the final creation step with no issue or lack of inventory message. I suggest you process an order or call direct.
Perhaps it was my mistake as when I checked to see after seeing the ridiculous price on Gunbroker I put in 5 as the quantity and only after realized they had 4 in stock. Having said that I was only testing the waters as you did. I was not about to order any mags as I have enough for my purposes. I have 6 mags for my PPQ. That is enough for me. However another issue may be that the mags that just sold on Gunbroker for $205 + $10 shipping for 2 were genuinne Walther mags not a 3rd party. I guess it is only the Walther mags that command such a premium and believe me you cannot find them. Again I was not looking for any but was curious after I saw the bids on Gunbroker because there were over 20 bids for these mags.
 
They supposedly have 4 mags in stock. however if you try and order them they are out of stocki.
I do not understand why in these times and the issues with everything firearm related that folks don't make more calls to verify inventory. I just called GunClips and had them physically verify the inventory. The guy checked and verified they have 4 Canik's on hand.

So they are not Walther mags but rather Canik. Most or maybe just me would prefer original mags, but not at that $100/mag. I do have 6 and that is enough for me.

However when I tested the waters I actually ordered 5 and later noticed after reading the ad completely they only had 4 in stock. That is why the message came up about being out of stock. Quite honestly I would not be interested in Canik mags anyway. I do prefer OEM. I only glanced at it and it probably said they only had 4 as that is what is in there ad.
