| I finally decided to spend the big money and purchase a Acog. I searched and searched for a TA31-A. People werent kidding when they said there hard to find. Well, I called SWFA and they had 2. The web site price said $999.00. I ordered it over the phone and the employee gave me a price of $899.00 well I asked him if was sure that he looked up the TA31-A because the internet price was a hundred bucks more. He replied yes I'm just giving you the best price we can. I thought this was great a business giving a customer a better price without even asking. I just wanted everyone to know about the great service about SWFA and I will be purchasing all optics from them from now on. |

Quoted: why won't they post the right price on their website? I've seen their price and decided to buy my TA31 from a different dealer because he had the better price. SWFA could have gotten my business in the first place. Because some manufacturers have a minimum advertised price that they allow the distributors/dealers to post. |

Because some manufacturers have a minimum advertised price that they allow the distributors/dealers to post. So if a dealer claims he/she has to follow the mimimum advertised price, it is BS. He/she can sell you the item(s) below the advertised price. Just like SWFA, and many others. |

[b]"So if a dealer claims he/she has to follow the mimimum advertised price, it is BS. He/she can sell you the item(s) below the advertised price. Just like SWFA..."[/b] You are correct, the key word is "advertised". This policy implemented by manufacturers is already walking the line of price fixing and if they mandated and enforced a minimum selling price they would no longer be in business. [b]"SWFA, Any word on when you will be getting more GA5090's in? How much do you sell them for?"[/b] What's a GA5090? If you are talking about the Springfield Armory GE5090 4-14x40 .223 scope, then the answer is we will not be getting any more as they are out of stock and discontinued by Springfield.
