The only way to get people to learn from there mistakes is to take advantage of them.

Think about that statement critically for more than a few seconds and you'll know that's true, even if it sounds unreasonable.

Walker took advantage of their mistake, and when they do inventory, they will learn from their mistake and probably not do it again... maybe saving the store more money in the long run.

Lets us all know to never do business with you

Even less high road. He paid the asking price, it wouldn't stop me from doing business with him.

So when a store charges 25$ for a case of water or 5.00 a gallon of gas during a hurricane or when ak-47's were selling for 600$ during the obama scare you all were screaming thats capitalism and if you don't like it don't buy it. This poor guy gets a great deal on some mismarked ammo and he's being called dishonest. How do any of you rocket scientists even know it was mismarked, maybe it was clearanced since it was the last one. Last month I sold a 16 foot sliding glass door at the Depot for 149.00. The original price was 2400 and my DM wanted it gone as it had been taking up space for a year. Great buy on the ammo and for all you so called high roaders bitching about it remember capitalism works two ways and sometimes the customer wins.

I went to the local Walmart a few years ago for some .22 ammo. Bought a brick of Federal and it rang up .98 cents. I told the girl behind the counter that that was the per box price not the brick price. She scanned it again at .98 cents. I tried to explain to her three times that it should be $9.89 for a brick. She got snippy with me and said "it says .98 cents and that is the price. I bought 9 more bricks for the price of one

One time a teller at the bank gave me $50 too much. I immediately brought it to her attention and returned the excess cash.

I once found a custom made diamond ring on the floor of a grocery store. Took it to the jewelry store stamped inside the ring and they identified the owner and I returned it.

Came across a wallet in the road that had $600 in cash in it. Looked up the name on the DL in the phone book, called and returned it to the owner.

I would consider exploiting an honest mistake by a store employee in pricing an item to be stealing regardless of the technicalities of the law. Furthermore, I would consider bragging about such an act to be uncouth.

But that's just becaue I was raised to have morals.

Guys, if a store misprices an item that's their problem. It's not the least bit dishonest to take advantage of it

I agree to a point. But it's a different story if it's an independent little shop vs. corporate store. The little guys can't usually afford to absorb the loss like a group of box stores. On that note, I've never had an actual gunshop mismark like that. But I've bought cases of primers for $3.39 at the local Big-R before because managment put the same SKU on the case as on the individual boxes. They're making a killing on Carharts and crappy 60 pound hay bails at $8, so i didn't feel the least bit guilty.

Morals might be a stretch. I could go with honest though. Comparing him to the common shoplifter is uncouth. Maybe it was on clearance. $3.99 isn't unimaginable for a brick of crappy .22lr on sale or clearance.

Your opinion, not mine, lets us know of your concern for your fellow man. But then thats our socicity today, sorry state of affairs. Now thats my opinion.

 

[3pairs12]

Yep all that greed and holier than thou stuff is a sad state of affairs.

I disagree with the second statement. If the action is dishonest, it's dishonest no matter what the size of the store.

A shooter here had the experience of TX50cal, a case of 9mm scanned at the box price and the clerk argued with him when he pointed that out. So he took his thousand rounds for $3.87 (plus tax) with a clear conscience.

The key here is that he pointed it out, giving him the clear conscience.

So all you people that are so concerned with your fellow man, I haven't seen a single post from any of you in the classifieds section telling people they are asking too little for the handguns, rifles and accessories. I've seen some very good deals over there. So, why haven't you morality policemen & policewomen been over there protecting the ignorant sellers, and not letting the dishonest buyers take avantage of them.

By the way, SaxonPig, weren't you the one on GunBroker a few months ago selling a single round of .45 ACP for thousands of dollars. Oh, I guess that was different. Very high road of you to point fingers.

 

[Art Eatman]

Enough harumphing over morality. This isn't really about guns as guns or ammo as ammo.
