Ahhhhh... blast from the past.
I finally got resolution on this "deal". Bah.
About a week or two ago, they mailed me and said that the manufacturer was too busy with military orders, and that they would not be recieving any scopes from them anymore. Thus they decided to cancel my backorder. I was a little ticked, but what could I do if they weren't gonna get any more optics from Trijicon, right?
Well, just on a hunch I checked Tuesday on their website. [r]SURE ENOUGH, 4 FREAKING TA44-2's in stock.[/r]
Oh, I'm ticked. I email them, quoting their earlier correspondance that said they'd not be able to get one at all for me, and then pointed out their website saying there was 4 in stock. I requested that I recieve the quoted $395 price.
Today, I got an email back stating that Trijicon had raised the prices, blah, blah, blah... And that the absoulte best they could do was their "sale price" of $550.00. They now are selling them for $749.99 on their website.
Wellll... looks like I'll be shopping elsewhere from now on. I would have completely understood if, when I ordered this in the first place, they called back and said it was a typo or something.
But, instead, for 4 months, they continued to assure me that they'd ship it ASAP, and that they just couldn't get their hands on one. Then they cancel my order so they can update their website as being in stock, and not have to honor their original price.
This sucks, but on the plus side, I found a nice cheap TA31-F in January from www.arizonagunrunners.com. Even got an 8% discount (think they have this 8% deal going on again, too), which brought it down to nearly Sableco's price (well, their old price... they upped it a lot now).
Anyone want to take them up on this $550 deal? I'll give you the order number and email confirmation they sent on that price, and you can see if they'll ship it out to you instead of me. Heh.
