Bargain of the week! Stevens 200 rifle for $232.

You can all stop your dreaming now as the sale is over. Ended on the 31st and I was informed that it was back to regular pricing when I went there tonight to pick one up for a fellow CGNer:( No more $60 off on a great low cost rifle. Back to your regular programing now:p

Yes, thanks Mike for your efforts. I'll just have to save that money for a different toy in the future.

Thanks again for trying.

It would be nice if somebody would post a new Bargain Of The Week every week.

Hougen's Sports Lodge, here in Whitehorse, has the Ruger Model 77 Mk 2 SS in 25-06 for $625, and it's in stock! :)

How about where you live?

its the equivalent of $200 on the typically priced rifle.
would you not be upset if (for example) your local store was offering Rugers at $200 off, but only to french-canadians?

$67 off a $299 Stevens is a huge discount, thats the cheapest theyve ever been in Canada and i am sure that even many that dont really need one would snap one up for that price. id have ordered a 300 win mag in a heartbeat, and i dont even need one. then again i dont need 9/10 of the guns i own :(

what if they were offering Ruger Hawkeyes for $460, but only to walk-ins?

The sale price is less than US wholesale pricing. I imagine they were overstocked on them and put them on clearance as a loss leaders to get people into the store.

Pretty standard business practice.

I'm with Gatehouse on the gnashing of teeth over this.
 
No better, your example still is not relevant to the situation. It is a local store that offered the sale price to those who could visit and walk around their store during boxing week.

How about, 'do you understand why a business might want to clear out goods at below cost, but wouldn't extend the sale price to national mail order sales'.

To that question. Yes.

i think everyone understands why they did it. the thread is about whether or not it is fair to loyal mail order/internet customers that make up the bulk of their sales.
some shmo could have walked in off the street for the first time ever, wasted a salespersons time for a couple of hours, and walked out with a much better deal than those who have already spent thousands of dollars there on net orders. its stupid that people that just happen to live near a mail order company get far better deals than the bulk of their customers.

So if Sears has a sale at the store here in Winnipeg but not on the internet or mail order ......seeing how they are a mail order company:runaway:
 
OK, I agree, a retail store which already has the lowest price nationally on a firearm offers an in-store doorcrasher Boxing Week sale even further off the cheapest price, likely below or at cost, and won't extend the in-store door crasher special price to national mailorder, causing people to slag the company that already offers the lowest national price as it's regular price, and threaten to not shop there in the future.

It's just not fair!

Let's all boycott SIR for being a business!

Who's with me?

All Right! Now we have a posse.

I'm busy shipping and filing GST/HST, so start the 'Fairness March' to Winnipeg without me and I'll catch up. ;)
 
i never said i would stop shopping there, just that i didnt think it was fair.

if you paid attention though, my post was responding to 'The outrage over $67 and a Stevens rifle is staggering'.

its the equivalent of $200 off a more expensive rifle, so yeah it is a big deal on a rifle that was already a huge bargain at $300.
 
Its not about the percentage of savings he was referring too, it was about 67 bucks, and 67 dollars is not 200 dollars in savings. 200 dollars does not equal 67 dollars.

Future shop and Best Buy had in store "Door Crasher" specials. Most companys do it, not a big deal or anything new.
