And just what will you do to rectify this problem?

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?

your right gundeck but people are more likely to sell something that ant what there selling when your hundreds of miles away just like someone might call you a no good son of a b*itch f the phone but when you come knocking on there door it is a different story

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

If you had bought this at the shop and stepped outside the door with the bow, you would be in the same boat. I think Bowtech is not to blame for this. Yes, they are responsible for who they pick for dealers, but you can't always spot the good from the bad.

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.

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.

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.

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

He shouldn't have to promise anything. :eek:

But the dealeralso shouldn't have to order a a left handed bowfor somebody that he may end up getting stuck with. Stuff like that happens all the time. It's a two way street.

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
