Well John:
A "
rifle for a dollar, sure i would like one,
at the end of the day we will have a special announcement.........
still waiting, also you may be a lot more clever than the rest of us, to sell a rifle for a dollar you MUST be taking a huge loss right? I doubt it, you are a retailer in the business of making profit, obviously there is no gift to anyone but yourself. But the advertising you chose was in poor choice, you did not make your deadline and you left a poor excuse.......the recoil you receive
"pardon the pun"
from the members is well deserved.
Your add should have gone like this:
Rifle for a dollar*
*Rifle for a dollar will be valid when I'm good and ready, also if and only if 10,000 people agree to buy it in advance, also you must purchase 1000 dollars worth of stuff from me before I offer you this gift.
The best though is when you said its a gift to all us members, to my knowledge aren't gifts usually free?
