They all said demand. I told them we had agreed to 499 and I have a receipt (contract) that also says we agreed to 499, all sales final. They said to talk that over with the lady at the register.
So I continued the paper work, because if I stepped out of line, I would loose my spot and I would end up being there all day! After another 15-20 minutes waiting in line at the register, I spoke to the lady. She first said that Glock raised their prices. I corrected her and said I called Glock USA and they told me their prices have not risen. She then said that due to the high demand and limited numbers that Glock manufactures the guns, they ‘have too’ charge more due to supply and demand and that I am one of many people they raised the price on because their boss instructed them to. I asked to speak with the owner and they said he is unavailable. They also said the order form says subject to price change.
Well I misspoke in an early post; this order form just simply has my name on it, my contact information, the Glock model and the sales price of 499 with tiny letters up top that says subject to price change, no signatures or any other verbiage. I told them that this is no contract, there isn’t one signature on it and this document is just a plan and simple order form, nothing else. They said it was a contract, I told them no, the sales receipt with all the terms and conditions on it along with my signature is a contract; they said my sales receipt is not a contract. I laughed and said okay, if I want to cancel this sale, am I subject to the 20% restocking fee, they said absolutely. I asked them how can that be, the only paperwork that states the rules on the 20% restocking fee is the sales receipt, and you just said that is not a contract, so then how am I subjected to a 20% restocking fee? There was a pause and they just simply said, the price is 559, period. I said fine, I will be contacting the BBB, filing a complaint with the Attorney General and disputing part of the credit card charge. They said fine.
So now I will start filing the complaints. There is no question these guys are ripping people off. I really can’t blame the salesmen, they were just doing what their boss instructed them to do, and they were very polite, just stupid when it comes to good business practice and the law. The owner on the other hand….well, enough said there.
Sounds like we need to start a boycott campagne against Bull"s Eye Shooter. Start posting in all the gun forums about their customer treatment and price gouging.
