Rickmur:

Only thing I'd do (since he's already got his money back via stop payment) is hand deliver the bow to the shop....and verify (eyewitness) that the right man recieved it.

Why do you ask?

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

Good point. Scumbags and cowards are often dressed in the same skin.

That sucks I work 15 minutes from this gentlemens shop and have always had great service from him and his crew. Hope it works out for ya. Not that there is anything I can do, but if you can think of something let me know. If this doesn't get settled I'll def. spread the word that this guy is liar and a cheat, word spreads quick around here. Nothing I hate worse than a liar. GOOD LUCK

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

This is exactly right. The difference would have been that I would have seen the '06 Ally sticker on the bottom limb and NOT purchased it , no matter what he told me. That's probably why he put them on e-bay. How many of you would buy a bow you were told was an '07 but had all the parts and a sticker for an '06?

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

Call bowtech. I dont think they will be happy with that dealer. Besides, they might make it right for you. This is the reason I have not been to a pros shop in over 20 years. With few exceptions, they are blood suckers out for nothing but money.

Road trip. I'll ride with ya. Seriously.

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

Dealers are not allowed to sell Bowtechs over the internet. My dealer told me this. Hoyt is the same way. Dealers cannot sell new or used bows over the internet.

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

Just wanted to know your angle and what you could do that's all.

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

True enough. Not something the customer should have to concern himself with though. The customer is paying top dollar for pleasure. We have to settle for whatever we can get when dealing with things we have to, like gas and tax's. This isn't one of them. Pure relaxation and enjoyment and we're will to pay for it. Stress and grief are what were trying to escape from at least I am.

My point was that I think Bowtec (not to single them out, they all should)can afford to supply it's dealers with whatever it takes for them to sell their product including demo's. The dealer shouldn't be stuck with the bill. If that was the case you can be sure they would be a whole lot pickier with whom they choose to represent them.

FWIW don't shop on ebay.

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

dude...you got your money back...and you still have a bow! FREE BOW right? use it and love it hahaha

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

they should have at least one left handed bow on hand all the time the shop i bought imy bow at had liek 20% leftys but they sold online

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

Thats an e-bay issue not really a BowTech issue.... I would conact E-bay

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

It is definitely not alright and I wish you luck in getting satisfaction.

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

No , I did not get my $ back. I waiting for a decission from Pay-pal.
And if I did get my money back , the bow WILL be returned to the shop.

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

Yes, that's correct as far as the transaction goes , however the dealer did not represent the bow accurately. I don't expect bowtech to do anything but I think they should know what type of business practices a dealer does.
My beef IS NOT with Bowtech, but an employeeof Bowtech has volunteered to assist me.

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

This whole mess is horse crap. I hope you get it resolved and everything works out. As for the retards saying crap like "I don't feel sorry for you" and "buyer beware" get a clue. Since when is it the guys fault that got screwed on the deal? You can give me all the "he should have known better" excuses you want. The fact is he purchased a bow that was mis-advertised by a low life, how about a bit of support. It could have been any of us.

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

^^^^^TOTALLY AGREE

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
 

Actually this is Bowtech's problem. Whether it be directly between this transaction or not. One of Bowtech's dealers made a false claim about their product. Clearly Bowtech needs to get involved. Distribution companies create map programs that drive out competition. These dealers are simply an extension of the company via a cost reduction distribution channel.

Same concept as small construction companies leasing their employees from a leasing agency to avoid paying Workers Comp.

After you clear out the red tape, and you remove the smoke and mirrors a salesman with a direct to manufacturer with min pricing etc... is an employee of said company. Just another way to save dollars by not having to roll out retail outlets.

I think accepting that a distributor of a company is actually an employee of the company is easier when you consider that there are no other channels to acquire the product. So how can they not be.
