Gander Mountain - Where Kwality has no limits!!

Postby Seismic Sam on Sat Sep 22, 2012 4:59 pm

Well, at least LOWER limits!!
Apparently this one is for sale at the Woodbury GM for the same high price as all the rest of them.....

Do these people have any professionalism, brains, or sense of shame whatsoever??
Apologies for the cellphone pics, and I didn't really capture how far the one side of this can has been beaten in..

That one and the exterior condition of the others in the same pile look worse than the "B" grade cans that Wideners was selling in bundles of 9 for $50 plus shipping.

What do you want them to do Sam sort each pallet by hand?

They are no different than any other retailer, they buy them at auction by the pallet (or truck load). Its just part of the deal, some of them are dented, some are scratched, regardless they are all milsurp ammo cans.

Except most other places have them for $7 a can (give or take a buck), and they aren't beat beyond use.

So yeah.... I'd say they are pretty different than most other retailers.

If you can get them for such a great price at other places go buy them there! I have no problem with retailers charging whatever they want to charge for something. Its getting old listening to you guys biatch and moan here on MNGT about Gander, If you dont like the way they do business then stop showing up to shop there stuff.

Shop elsewhere? I do. Trust me.

Its getting old watching Gander mountain take advantage of people. If youre getting tired of people here bitching an moaning about Gander, you should read other threads. I have no problem with people exercising their First Amendment right in complaining about a business whose practices they find to be shady at best.

Lemmie guess....... You work there. Tell you what, if that's the case, I sure hope they treat their employees better than they do their customers.

LOL, work there? No, I gave up retail years ago.

Dont try and make this a constitutional issue that has nothing to do with it. People can waste all the time they want complaining about whatever they like and in the same regard I can complain about them just the same.

Bottom line is this. I think anyone who has "so many problems" with a retailer and still keeps going back is pathetic, get a life and find a real issue to complain about. Go volunteer at a campaign, form a new political party, whatever you choose... my point is that you should try to create some change in this country and not sit at home complaining about the same issues. If people want to charge $X for there product they have the same right to do so as anyone else.

"Its getting old watching Gander mountain take advantage of people" How is Gander taking advantage of anyone? If people choose to go there and buy stuff thats there right just the same as you and I have the right to sit here and complain about them.

You are still assuming I shop there. I don't.

You complain about people bitching about Gander...... What.... They aren't allowed to because it pisses you off?

Say what you will about what you want, but don't tell me what I can't say. Ever. It won't get you very far.

Funny thing. You tell me I have the right to complain about Gander, yet you chastise me for doing just that, in the same breath. Do they have the right to take advantage of people who don't know any better by charging more than retail on many of their items? Sure they do. I have the right to complain. Like it or not.

Sounds to me that someone needs a dose of their own medicine.

Have a great night!

Oh yeah...... Gander sucks. :P

I love goose hill about 8% of the time. I figure I drop in 1x per month or so. Buy about 1 used gun per year at a crazy deal (yes, it happens). My methodology- I make a bee-line for the used gun counter, browse it, leave. I just ignore the rest of the store.

On ammo cans- Please share (PMs are fine) the $7 source. Back in PA, I never paid n more than $5 per .50 can or 3.50 per .30 can. Prices here are crazy. I bought 6 yesterday up north for $11/can, tax included at a small general store north of Askov. Pricey in my book, but I need some and they are in mint condition.

Bought 3 .50's from Sportsmans Guide in the last 3 weeks...grand total of $15....and these are in FAR FAR FAR better shape than Gougers.

Heres my review of Gouger Mtn - SUCKS, expensive, and a waste of time. YMMV.
Nothing to see here. Continue swimming.
