OK John, the original thread was aborted by yourself (I know that neither GT or a mod did that because no rules have been violated), but what is the deal now exactly?


Your reason for the abort was the number of negative comments, I did the math and 98 % was positive, ...


?????
 
John
Can you give us any info on it now? Maybe not what it is but if there are 10 available or 5000 available. I am assuming it will be one per customer?
 
Would be cool to know what the deal was/is.

I was hoping you had 1 Norc 1887, for 1 dollars just for Ryan500!
 
To John:

Some ppl will never be pleased. Such is life. It's also difficult to convey emotion and meaning in a typed message, so I hope most of the negative comments were not intended as such.

In any even, sales are always welcome and I applaud your attempts to offer interesting promotions on your merchandise - keep it up :)

I'm looking forward to Monday.

My honest hope is that the deal is a $1 Chinese tokarev with every purchase of a crate of 7.62x25TT - but we shall see ;)
 
Hey John,

I've got no horse in this race and have too may things on the go to take advantage of this deal so I'd like to say something.

Sorry that some of the folks online became really unreasonable and ruined what looked like a very neat opportunity.

You'll find in reading the other threads (Keltec, Tavor, T97, etc) that it's always the same folks that seem to ruin the threads for 99% of the honourable members.

I don't know if it's the "me" generation out there; there seem to be a few that exhibit that "entitlement" characteristic that I've gotten used to seeing in the youth of today.

When things don't go their way RIGHT AWAY or they can't get what they want RIGHT NOW, they throw a tantrum and blame all around them.

We brought this on...high speed internet, modern media...

I think if you take a step back, you'll see that the vast majority of the folks on here are better than the rest of the "non-firearms owning" demographic.

Don't let the naysayers ruin it for the decent folk that wanted in on your gifting spirit and nature.

I still think that the firearms community is a step above all others. I just need to remind myself of that sometimes.

Oh, and to address one of the particularly ridiculous posts...

seen this before. what a ####. f*ck Marstar

I hope you're not an adult...it would be disappointing to know an adult actually posted that...
 
OK ALREADY;
1)
Unfortunately our webmaster did not have time to finish the add by the end of the day on Friday....IT WILL be up Monday....

John

Thanks for the update I am still interested in knowing what type of firearm you will be offering,But I work a 12 hour shift on Monday so if this is very limited I just may miss the whole deal:(

Thanks :cheers:
 
Thanks John. It's very much OK if the $1 deal is a package deal and I have to buy something else for the regular price first.

I have a feeling that if it's like this, the guys at Marstar are going to go crazy this holiday season processing orders, not to mention all that are going to whine that their orders didn't arrive on time. They might be shooting themselves in the foot so to speak, but I hope they won't be, cause we need them so bad!
 
Well John, you certainly know how to create the buzz! I am looking forward to the deal whatever it is.

Brace yourself though, I think there might be a lot of flack come Monday with all this hype if the deal turns out to be less than folks have worked it up to be!;)

On another note, thanks for all you do for this community. I am new to it, but already appreciate your efforts.
 
Caw! Caw! Caw!

This reminds me of a story:

“I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbeque. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table …… simply everywhere. Then some of the birds turned mean: They would dive bomb me and try to peck even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And other birds were boisterous and loud: They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn’t even sit on my own back porch anymore.

I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the backyard was like it used to be…. quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now lets see….our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor: your child’s 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn’t speak English: Corn flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to press “one” to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than “Old Glory” are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Maybe it’s time for the government to take down the bird feeder?”

......or am I way off?

Right on the money. Untill we really start to speak up and get something done about it, it's only going to get worse.

People have tried to speak up. You'll immediately be brand as racist and your reputation as a decent person will forever be destroyed. The only people that are allowed to have a voice are not white and not male. So if you're a female, non-heterosexual visible minority then have at it. Otherwise you're in for a world of hurt with the attitude that everyone else shouldn't have it free while you work and pay taxes.
 
it's really terrible when some people can't wait a couple of extra days for such a great deal. my wife and i had to wait over a year for a copy of half-life 2 from the time we pre-ordered it. we didn't ##### or complain, we understood that #### happens and no amount of whining is going to make it better.
if they want to ##### about something, why don't they go to parliament and try doing something constructive with their voices.
