I live an hour from there. Stop payment on your check. Send me the bow. I'll drive it over there.
PM me if you need my help. That sucks.....and I'm serious.

I'm not one to complain usually , but my blood pressure is through the roof.
I'm a LH shooter. As such I can NEVER find a bow to try out. So I rely on what I read here, and I value the reviews I read here.
So I wanted a '07 Allegiance. I bought one from a Bowtech dealer in Taylorsville,N.C.on e-bay. ( I figured I was safe buying from a dealer)
He advertisied an '07 Ally shop demo. Cool ,--I'm in.
The bow arrived today. IT'S A BLASTED '06.
I ran the ser# w/ Bowtech to make sure.
So I call the OWNER. He tells me I bought a "custom '07 Ally".
WHAT????
There's NOTHING '07 about this bow. No new riser w/ a groove. No 2 piece grip. '06 cams and limb sticker. What's '07 about it.
He then said to me "no return or refund" , "this conversation is over".
The dealer is Lyndon's Riverview Sports. If I'm breaking a rule saying that Mods ,go ahead and delete it. I had to vent.

I think dealers are not allowed to sell bowtechs over the internet

Used bows are allowed to be sold by any means.
This simply boils down to the seller giving incorrect information which has nothing to do with BowTech.
I would contact the dealer, tell them you know it's not as advertised and ask them howthey're willingto help you out.

The dealer INSISTS that his sales rep. sold him this bow as a "custom '07". I don't know the situation but this dealer is lieing.
I spoke w/ BT yesterday and this bow was manufacturered in '06 , has an '06 sticker on the lower limb , '06 cams, etc. It was shipped to the dealer between jan. and june '07. That doesn't make it an '07.
Ser # M13211-022 is an '06 bow.
And I called the dealer, He refuses to help.

RE: Shafted by a BT dealer
it is guaranteed if you show he did not send you the listed item send them a letter from bt saying from the serial number it is a 06 not a 07
what the changes where in 07 from the 06 and the listing where it says 07 and they will give you your money back even if they say you get your money back and he does wont to they take it from his account and give it to you no if ands or bu even if there is not that much cash in his account

When I filed the camplaint w/ pay-pal, I included the ser #. and Bowtech's # so they could check w/ a single phone call.
If they(pay-pal) want a letter to the differences I'm sure I can get one.
