Misprint In Rural King add

[TJSaltdog]

The new Rural King add is titled "Huge 10 day Sale" and it starts the 15th which is tomorrow and ends Christmas eve. Inside the add there is a sub-title called "4 big days of savings" which starts the 21st and ends on Christmas eve. Its the 4 day sale that has a misprint. It states that we have 30% off all guns which is the misprint. Its 30% off all gun accessories. Because of the misprint we will be having the original 30% off of gun accessories and 15% off all guns for the inconvience. We also have 50% off all in stock tree stands, blinds, hunting chairs, and stools. 40% off all in stock Range finders, binoculars, Game cameras, and scopes. 50% off all in stock hunting apparel. 14 gun Stack-on gun cabinet for $79.99. 46" Durango Rifle case for $4.99. All these I mentioned start on the 21st and there is alot more that I did not mention.

Are Rural King handgun prices reasonable?

Are Rural King handgun prices reasonable?

Yes, very.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

You reckon if I called there and asked if they had something they'd hold it for me for an hour or so until I got there? I need a Sig227 and I hear there have been some there.

 

[DFM914]

It would be nice if there were a way to check what they have on hand.

 

[MikeDVB]

15% off all guns... Wow.

Too bad my 'gun fund' is empty.

Are the flyers company wide or printed for each store?

Doesn't matter, you can't force them into the misprinted discount.

I've no idea what the law/consumer protection acts say about this... Is it really that black-and-white?

IANAL but from what I understand, they can print "everything is free! Hell, we'll give you $100 cash just for walking through the door!" but as long as they post a retraction predominantly on the front door, they no longer have to honor it.

More often than not, I see a retraction on the front door of almost every store I enter that has an ad running. The cynical part of me wonders how often they "misprint" just to drive traffic to the store? Are ALL stores inept with folks that cant help but advertise bogus sales? Seems fishy to me.

 

[MikeDVB]

I'm sure honest mistakes do happen... That said you do raise an interesting point I never considered.

I work the rural king gun counter in martinsville. The ad was run accidental, we had a big meeting about it. PM me if you have a question about inventory at our location. We are quite low right now actually. We are coming off a couple weeks of 10% and 12% off sales. We are not supposed to hold guns for customers, but if you call and say you are on your way to get it, I can squeeze that in with management. Also if you buy from the martinsville location please bring a gun case with you if you have it for said firearm. They won't let the guns leave unless it's in a "secured" case I.e. Hard case, soft case, ammo can, tool box, etc. basically anything I can zip tie. ATF agent told us it's federal law title 18 US code 922q. I don't want to get into a debate war on here about it. I don't believe it's such but I have to follow it.

Any other questions hit me with a PM

You are up way too early Kane.

I was on the Bloomington store Friday afternoon & they had signs all over about the misprint in the ad.

 

[coltaceguy]

So it was a misprint, but all stores will still have 15% off on guns starting the 21st?

 

[DOYOUFEELLUCKYPUNK]

Didn't know anything about it but now I do thanks!!

I guess EVERY gunshop and auction house that Ive bought a gun over the years must have disobeyed that ATF dufus you have there which is spewing nonsense. There truly is nothing to debate....Ill say it.. Your ATF rep is a complete tool and doesnt know his arse from a hole in the ground. PM me with his number and Ill call him and tell the idiot myself!
