Default a BIG thank you to the bow hunter members :-)

Hey everyone
A while back, I posted up aboutn which treestand to choose, listed my choices and got opinions on them. Well yesterday at the sports and outdoor show here in PA, I went and found all the prospective treestands that I had listed here, plus the buckshot bigshot mag stand that someone recommend i look at.
Well after looking at Summits, APIs, Ol' mans, and taking into account what everyone here had said., I chose a Buckshot Bigshot Mag :-)
After talking to the guy, and having him very nicely and not hurridly answering my questions(no one even talked to me at the summit booth), we started haggling price, and I managed to get a bigshot mag with a full body harness instead of the belt one, with all the bells and whisltes, shipped to me(didn't have any mags in stock at the show) for about 340 (so fat the best I have seen on the net is 350 plus shipping, and that is with the regular belt harness.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank everyone here for the advice, and suggestions.

Good choice,I know guys who have them and they are very stong and sturdy.And the company stands behind their product.A friend of mine thru his own fault bent the one rail and they replaced it free of charge.

I though the price was a little high too, but I can;t find them cheaper anywhere else, I have seen as high as 400 for them and as low as 360 on the net. Ohh the wife was with me, she said i could get the treestand as long as she could buy a pair of raccoon penis bone earrings, so in the end everyone was happy.
Like cardeer said about standing behind their product, that was one selling point, the guy talked to me, answered my questions, wasn't short and to the point to make a sale and get me outta there so he could sell to someone else, he took the time with me to explain to me how the billing process works, how the treestand works, warranty info, etc. It seems like i saw a lot more of the rushed and quick sales than taking the time and talking to people that were interested in buying, case and point the summit booth, no one even talked to me over there, i walked around sat in a couple treestands.
