restocking fee?

[splitshot]

  a friend of mine went into hi mountain sports to buy an xd 40.  they wanted to charge him a restocking fee.  he left to go to tristate and got the gun cheaper and with no stock fee.  mike w

A restocking fee would be to return something I always thought.

Did he have them order it and then decide he didn't want it?

That doesn't seem correct .  I think part of the story might be missing. I've never heard of a store doing that

thats messed up.

I get what you are saying. It's messed up. Just another way to scam your friend with how things are going. Glad he left. I would have to.

No way, now how....I do a lot of business with the wenatchee store and that is ludicrous!!  If indeed that happened you should pm Kelsey and get to the bottom of it.  I say there is a part of the story that is not being told, or there is an employee that needs to be fired.

i am saying what this guy in my fly club in m.l. told me.  i will have him retell it to me in 2 weeks when we meet again.  it sounds pretty wild to say the least.  i will try to get a name etc.    on another note i can say they are $40 to $100 more on pistols than tristate.  that is a fact as i have priced xd's and s and w.  also they did not donate to our elk banquet last year and this year.  tristate has been very supportive.  hope that changes so both can be involved.  i still ho to both looking for deals.    mike w

Like all stores.....there some good deals and some not so good.  I have noticed in wenatchee that they are taking in consigned guns and those prices have been really high.  Those are also negotiable with the original owner.  Kelsey..the owner is a member and hm is a sponsor so maybe he will have some insight and chime in on this post.

[splitshot]

does he own the m.l. store?  mike w

[jrebel]

Yeah to the best of my knowledge...like 99.9 percent sure.
