Most new businesses operate at a loss until they reach a break-even point. Until they reach a break-even point they are using startup capitol (usually loans or venture capital money) for their day to day operations. If they underestimate costs and overestimate sales they might need to borrow more money. It's all a guess. I wish them well. I hope it works out. I might be interested to sign up just to see if it's worth it for 6 months or so.

The problem with the Costco gun model is that people don't buy guns as often as they buy food, toilet paper, and laundry detergent. Gun buying happens after time and deliberation. Pretty much the antithesis of the Costco model. Guns don't sell like toilet paper. So, the membership model just doesn't work because people aren't getting the value that they get from something like Costco. FDC knows this...they just need it to work for a year or two. It's a cash grab - and no better way to start the rush than by pimping it through Brandon - a man who has no problem pushing trash products for money.

We can divide available AKs into two categories: guns made in soviet-bloc countries that are rough but solidly made weapons meant to see combat, and hobby grade rifles made elsewhere. There can be good and bad examples in either category but broadly, the former is what you want if you want an AK, while the latter may still be acceptable for most users actual needs.

"Zero Markup" as if the annual/monthly fee doesn't count? true zero markup would be no fees at any point in the signup and purchase process, so already started with the BS and it's only been like 45s into the clip. just saying "hey, we charge a maximum of (percent) markup, but you can browse for free" would legit bring in way more people and sales due to it being a direct-from-source site. how much was spent to license that Inglorious Bastards clip? (which they HAVE TO DO to feature it in an advert, otherwise they are using it illegally and could get sued for it) watching Brandon, Donut, Fat Electrician, Kentucky Ballistics, Angrycops, Admin Results and Demolition Ranch casually murder their reputation for money is a depressing end to a relatively shitty year tbh. at this point, if WW3 happens or CW2 happens, I'm probably never going to step into church again, I just assume whatever is in charge basically abandoned us, if it even exists.
