[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Outdoor Marksman ARFCOM Pricing

Posted: 3/14/2007 10:33:06 AM EDT

Hey guys and gals-
Just a quick note to let our valued customers at AR15.COM know that we are trying our best to treat you right, even with the crazy ammo price increases we've seen lately.
Due to cost increases, we've just had a $10 per thousand increase on XM193.
But, we are holding our old price for all of you.
In the search window just type ARFCOM and it will take you to the correct item with the old pricing.
We'll continue to try to run specials like this in the future, so be sure to search for "ARFCOM" whenever you visit our site!
Thanks for your continued support!

The OMC Crew

Gunshow would be nice as I am planning on picking up several K of 9mm too.

Good luck. They've been out of 9mm reloads for weeks and hadn't received any when I talked to them a couple days ago.

I work down the street and have bought ammo there several times, and NOW I find this out?

I hope so. I drive within a quarter mile every day to work.

Yes guys, the price is valid at the store in Salem also. Just be sure to ask them to search for "ARFCOM" so you get the discount.

Yes, we'll honor it at the Portland gunshow this coming weekend also. At least for as long as the inventory on hand holds out. I know how some of you can be, and you know who you are. So, don't get mad at us if we're sold out. Just log on here and ask "Who bought all of the XM193?".

Thanks again guys, we really appreciate your business!

Hey OMC one questiom: Can you guys square out your internet prices and your in store prices? It kinda sucks to look on the net, see the net price, and then walk into your store and be told the in store price is more on some ammo. It's only happened to me a few times, but each time it worked out being cheap if you shipped to my house rather than letting me pick it up and walk out

Oh, and thanks sooooo much for giving the local Oregon folks a nice break

That's the reason I do most of my business with you since you treat folks right

Hi Civil, thanks for your continued support.
I would like to give you a good answer about store prices versus internet prices, but I can't really go into all of the factors about why it costs more for you and us. The main components are labor, property. We could definitely be putting the square footage to far better use and it takes more time to service customers in the store versus printing an email and putting items in a box. Really it is all boring business stuff, we apply a small margin to our cost to determine price to customer and the margin associated with store sales tends to be slightly higher. Believe us, it is not because we are making more profit off of store sales! You will see this practice quite common among companies that operate on the internet and in a "brick&mortar" storefront, examples Costco-Walmart-Target-etc.
With the slight price differences, usually less than a few dollars per 1000 rds, it is still cheaper to buy in the store if you are local.
I hope this helps, and as stated previously the ARFCOM deal is the same price in store as on the web.
Thanks to all!

Thanks for the reply! I understand. It was worth a shot since you were in a giving mood

How about this: After purchase of say $5,000 of ammo you get a discount on your next order up to $xxx for your OREGON ARFCOM buddies??? Hey you got to give me credit for trying right? Thanks again OMC. I've even got a few friends hooked and showed them where your store front is and they have been buying most of their ammo from you now also.

Then today me and a few friends picked up a bunch of ammo from you at the Portland show today

Hmm.... I've called them up (as recently as last week) and had them put aside some ammo at Internet prices to then come down and pick up in person... ymmv?

Oh I totally agree as this is the case MOST of the time, but ever now and then the in store price is different than the net price (typically 5-10% more). Trust me I've purchased $1000's worth of ammo from OMC in thier store (and at the shows) so I know how they roll.....

I don't like your internet/store front price policy, but you do have the best price on primers in town that I've found so far. Are the primers $17.59 or $17.95 in store?
