VermontHunter Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: Regretful Proshop Owner Just can't comprehend how places like this stay in business....I may be over-reacting but man whats a gut got to do to buy a new release locally...Blaaaah.

DSGB Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: Regretful Proshop Owner I agree that he is only apologizing for fear of losing money. I would accept his apology, because, forgiveness is the greatest gift you can give, but wouldn't do business there anymore. Taking the free release would be wrong unless you plan on remaining a customer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rhinodog Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Re: Regretful Proshop Owner [ QUOTE ] Accept the apology, do not take the release for free. BUY it from him with cash. In the long run, it will be worth it. [/ QUOTE ] I agree. This is what I think I would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Re: Regretful Proshop Owner It's now day 3 of trying to set something up with this proshop, I called today and his wife said he was unavailable and didn't know when he would be free to call me back...Well I guess it's time to find something new and wash my hands of this situation. By the way I'm still in need of a good used little bitty goose with the buckle strap ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Re: Regretful Proshop Owner [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Personally,I would accept his apology and tell him I'm still taking my business elsewhere.The only reason he's obliging you is because he knows he's going to lose $$$ down the road.JMO [/ QUOTE ] I sorta feel the same way. He knows that you all are going to tell others what happened and he will loose business...thats the only reason he is trying now. Go back, try out the release..take it for free and get out of dodge and never go back to him. Then he will really learn a lesson On second thought...No...you better go with what the other guys are saying Sorry, I can't tolarate people like that. [/ QUOTE ] Nope! After he would have done this to me. I would take the release, and never darken his doorway ever again! Who knows how many people he has done this too! I know a few people who conduct business like this and I will never shop there! This is one of the reasons I bought my bow at Cabela's. They did just fine in helping me to choose the right equipment! I been taken advantaged one too many times by these so called PRO SHOPS! There are not many around my area so they know they have the area by the neck! BUT NOT WITH ME! They did this to themselves, they have been slowly losing business, and been going out of business! For those PRO shops that conduct business this way I hope they all go out of business!!! Treat me with respect, help me gain the knowlegde to make me better understand, and NEVER try to take advantage of my wallet!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Re: Regretful Proshop Owner LifeNRA, I had this same experince with computers. I then taught myself and took calsses to work on my own computer and just got better at it, and to never be taken advantage of by another tech again. So I guess I'll just have to grow and learn how to mantience my own equipment, I'm a pretty quick study and with the help of my good buddies in here I'll be ok, and good to go...

AJ Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Regretful Proshop Owner I would take the apology but buy the release elsewhere. He should do help out any customer, not just certain ones. Apology or not this guy is not a customer oriented shop. Find a good shop and deal with them.

muggs Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Regretful Proshop Owner I guess I'll be the only one........but I'd tell him to STICK IT. Just because he doesn't want to lose your fathers business, shouldn't be an excuse for he to change his tune. The guy didn't want to help you out, he's not concern about you, he's just covering his own ****. Take your business elsewhere. He owns a proshop, he should know that people need to try out things first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted January 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Regretful Proshop Owner OK still nothing from this guy...He's history my business is going elsewhere..period. To me if a business owner can't take a lousy 5min. of his time to return a phone call, he isn't worthy of my business....END of STORY.....for him anyway's...

RyanH Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Regretful Proshop Owner I would still get that free release though! Walk up there and get it and leave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJL Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Regretful Proshop Owner I'd go back in............ shoot every release he has...... Twice............ and leave without buying a thing. Then I'd wait two weeks............ go back in........ and ask him if he had learned anything in the past 14 days. If he's still unapproachable go elsewhere...... at least you know what release you like. If he learned his lesson....and you as well......... life is good. Having a local shop is worth alot............ a bad one isn't worth much. Try the Winn Free Flight............ Treats me well JJL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
