Gander Mountain...Be serious!

I dont mind dicks sporting goods but their selection sucks.

[Chevy]

Funny. I went to GM last week to buy a new rifle and trade in two I had. Figured I would get good trade in because they are gonna make money off me with the new purchase. Well, they had neither rifle in stock that I was interested in, the employee should have been selling bait in the fishing dept cause he knew nothing, and they wanted to give me less than half what the guns were worth on trade in. So I sold my rifle on this forum to a nice guy for a fair price. Now I have half what I need to buy that new gun and it won't be at GM.

Maybe they know they're going under and just don't care...who knows????? THEY STINK!!!

[loworange88]

Agree.. the exact same thing happened here (Cicero, outside of Syracuse) they were great. Now some five or so years later, service stinks, prices stink, selection stinks and now they are shafting people (or at least trying to) on trade in value for guns. Greedy BS!!! I would'nt even order from the catalog anymore.

Fortunatly Dick's is'nt much farther away.

Yeah I'd rather goto Dick's than Gander(Cicero store isnt great)...Unfortunately, there arent many other options for us in the Syracuse area. Sports Authority is a joke, Walmart is just Walmart, and some of the Local Gun Shops are few and far between. Herb Philllipsons and Dick's in my opinion are neck and neck.

I did send GM an EMAIL not sure if it well get me anywhere,but the I sent it anyway.I just wish I had gotten the names of the Manager but what ever I am so done with GM...

Heard you the 1st time . No need to post twice !

[ants]

Yeah it just happens. Been trying to figure it out for a couple weeks now. It's only this site...sorry.

[growalot]

I'm still getting 4-6 hundred dollars worth of free stuff from them every year...so I'll continue using them plus I like the printed itemized report they give us at tax time...but Mr. B has switched to Cabelas points on one of my other cards...he now gets a bunch of freebies there...keeps my options open with sales

[erussell]

Ya know Grow if you stuff it in your pocket and walk out its not really free stuff per say!! Dang how do you get 4 -6 hundred dollars of free stuff?

[growalot]

We do not use cash...ever....We pay our card off in full every month and pay no interest...GMT through out the year raises the points you get for buying certain items...ie Gas...groceries...and through out the year if a family member has a big purchase they planned on using cash for....we have them put it on our card and take the cash..Lord lets not even mention Christmas....The itemized record they send us every year is usually and inch thick and averages...$40,000.00.....that's how you get that much free stuff...once again I have no need to lie

[landtracdeerhunter]

With 4-600 in free stuff from Gander, it is Christmas, lol.

[growalot]

It was a few years ago when we were able to purchase gift cards with the bonus cash...the gift card had no use by date..unlike the cash reward certificates....We traded 500.00 worth to a friend for something Mr B wanted....But alas GMT caught on to that and stopped it....

[Paula]

...once again I have no need to lie

unlike your other stories i do believe this one Grow lol ...JK

[growalot]

[growalot]

Just used another 20.00 to get my WHT tail institute forage oats...free shipping..on sale...no gas ..can't go wrong ...my cost...due to tax 12.00 and change

[ants]

Herb Phillipsons is'nt bad. Their prices are a little better than dick's. I just wish there was a place, close by, that dealt in used guns and took in

trades with out trying to screw people. Alot of guys wont buy a new gun unless they can trade in the old one. Greedy BS is all I can think of.

[ny hunter]

I have an E MAIL from a zone manager,he would like to talk with me today sometime.I gave him my cell lets see if he calls.

[Forest Hunter]

Don't ever go to the Gander Mountain in Kingston. They're the worst all I ever walk out of there is angry and frustrated.

[erussell]

The itemized record they send us every year is usually and inch thick and averages...$40,000.00.....that's how you get that much free stuff...once again I have no need to lie

Holy crap if I ever had a record of $40,000 in purchases from Gander I would never get to use any bonus bucks. My wife would murder me Dead. D.E.A.D!!!!

[growalot]

lol I know your jking...but just have to say it....you do know I'm talking a gander mnt credit card good every where right?...It's not me ...Mr B is a mad "carder"...loves the fact we pay no interest and they have to give back that much....plus free shipping so no gas $$ either...lol

Not a good thing for all...really need to know exactly whats coming in to whats going out and have a cushion to match for the just incase sinerio...years of budgeting...and a avaricious(in the good sense) wife...lol

[erussell]

lol I know your jking...but just have to say it....you do know I'm talking a gander mnt credit card good every where right?.

No Im just a dumbass Thats what happens when you read things at 3am and youve had 2hrs sleep all day. Went back and re-read makes more sense now. I though that was a little high for purchases from GM.

[ny hunter]

Spoke to the manager ,he is sending a gift card,said he was sorry wanted to make me happy,blah blah.....I hope I can use the card on line LOL..

[bubba]

You can. I got one for Christmas last year. Closest store is Watertown over an hour away, and I rarely go there. So, I used it online. BTW the Watertown store is just as bad as the others. They seem to have about a third of the inventory in guns ammo and such and much much more clothing. I was in there one day and wanted to look at a handgun. The umm to put it nicely clerk asked if I had a permit. Showed her my permit and she said she could not show me the gun as my permit was from another county. After a 10 minute debate and another store person intervening, I still was not allowed to look at the gun. I said that's ok, Dicks is in the same mall and I will go there and buy it. The again clerk is a nice way to put it said well if their price is lower than ours come back and we will match it. I was going to explain that if they would not let me look at it, due to my permit being from another county, how could they sell it to me. Instead I shook my head walked away chuckling and talking to myself.

[growalot]

Hahaha...Bubba perhaps if you offered to strip to your undies...and show her you had no bullets to put in the gun she'd let you seen it...lol

[landtracdeerhunter]

I was at the Gander in Watertown 3 years ago. Brother in law had a bass tourney meeting going on and give me a chance to look around. They stocked a lot of stuff our Tonawanda store never had. Coarse 3 years ago, talking about different kind of Gander. Wonderful area. Could fit right in to that country very nicely, but would have to buy a bigger snow shovel, lol.
