I have been in Abilene for a few days and decided to check stock at a local store for a Gen 5 17L MOS.
As we were going to be driving right by said store I looked up their website and it says they have stock on at least one of the Gen 1,3 & 5 and prices are surprisingly reasonable. About $30 more than I can get it in my area but he is currently out of stock. As websites are notoriously not updated I give them a call. Yep in stock but at $40 more than listed on website. Called the guy out on it and he says those prices are set by mfg. but off the wall quotes the Gen 3 at website price (which I didn’t ask about).
Drove past the store twice yesterday in our travels and thought hard both times about stopping in and making a cash money offer for the website price but didn’t do it.
Guess I saw it as a bait and switch pricing plan and I’m not playing.
