Default RE: Set up help

I guess I have a problem also that everything in his store is marked full retail price. I run a business and know in my line of work retail is usually a fairly good bit above actual dealer cost. I could see if he was selling lower and did not have as much profit margin he would definately have to charge for any extras. For example I went there to look at a switchback selling price $749.99 full retail Mathews Quiver $119.99 Spott hogg 7 pin sight$179.99 and a trophy taker rest $74.99 (not the micro adjust and black not camo) Total out the door with tax $1203.00. From what I have heard on this forum, if everyone is honest, that is way more than anyone else is paying.I looked and 2 less expensive bows the Rapture $405.00 and a reflex Buckskin for $409.00 both at full retail price or more.

At first I felt guilty for buying the bow off ebaybut now the more I think about it he is taking advantage that there is not another pro shop for about an hour away. He uses the price and demand thing in his favor on archery stuff, he is actually very reasionable priced on his firearms since there is alot! of competition in this area on firearms. I have never tried to talk him down on anything I purchased from him always paid the asking price with a smile, maybe someone needs to point out to him that in this day and age the internet is greatly affecting how you do business. You will always be able to find something cheaper so you need to be reasonably priced then back it up 100% with customer service.That is what is happening in my line of work we have had to lower our prices then justify the price different as labor and customer service.

So I decided if he will mount the stuff up for free I will buy the accessories there, if not I will order those off ebay as well and mount them up myself. I will pay shipping and still be cheaper than buying from him.I found someone who has worked on his own bows for years and he has a nice bow press.
