Srsly. He got a 12% return for losing out on a deal. That's a lot for just a month.

He wanted to take advantage of 20 dead kids and flip the gun for a $1000 profit. That's why he's acting like a drag queen that got his wig yanked off. To his sad little mind it's not a $100 profit, it's $900 lost.




OK, that's over the line.

Keep this up and I will remove you from this thread

Saying I'm taking advantage of 20 dead kids is massively over the line there. You have been reported. All you've done in this thread is being a pure troll and hurl egregious insults.

Despicable.

Good luck to you OP. Hope everything works out.

Interesting. Were you going to flip the gun if delivered?

I'll admit - I haven't read the entire thread. I may have missed that.

I'm counter-suing. Your suit for mental anguish is giving me mental anguish.

You ought to sue over mental anguish for his egregious use of the English language!

Right, because nobody in the history of the world ever tried to make a profit on a gun due to potential ban. I just thought of that all on my own. Grow up. There is NO WAY one supposedly rational adult human gets that bent out of shape over a canceled order unless it's about money. None! Since OP didn't lose money on the cancellation and since OP actually MADE money on the cancellation why exactly does he have his panties in that big of a bunch? Think about it carefully, apply what you know (if anything) about human nature and get back to me with your revelations.

Who is bent out of shape here? Following through with my sale is not being bent out shape in the least. Spreading word of mouth of bad business practices by Dick's Sporting Goods in a public forum is not being bent out of shape either. The only ones unhinged in this thread have been you Gaghalfrunt and others like you.

Look, I get it GagHalfrunt. You are in Connecticut and live near the Sandy Hook shooting. You have a bias and obvious agenda going on that is coloring your view in this thread. Where as the thread should have been treated like a breach of consumer protection laws, you are treating it as a gun control issue because I just happened to have purchased an AR15.

However, none of that means you should behave has you have been in this thread.

Why stop there? Accuse him of buying it to shoot up a bunch of people. Maybe he wants to hold a group of women hostage and rape them. Probably wants to take over a plane and crash it into a building because it's been done in history too. Oh wait, that didn't involve guns...

I often find people making accusations like "grow up" need to look in the mirror.

Some people just want to stand on morals, most people can't afford to, or don't have the time/energy. Just because he is doesn't mean he's of low character. OP believes he is in the right, some agree, others don't. That's life.

Easiest to add him to your ignore list. It'll make you much happier.

Good luck, I hope you win this one.

LOL

You have spent $950 on a lawyer because you are freaking out over a failed $800 Slickdeals style deal. Have you gotten a quote from this obviously upstanding professional on how much it will cost to sue those dastardly Dicks over this terrible, nay, HORRIBLE, breach of contract?

What part of dicks choosing to not deliver the obligated goods do folks not understand? You can't do that if it's in your direct control.

Ever read a purchase order or sales agreement?

So many don't understand the simple concept of dicks, able to provide product, choosing not to. That's the rub. You can't do that.

Ok. So the obvious thing is to spend $900 on a lawyer to get back $800 you already have.....

Not that I'm on his side, but last I checked the law > investors.

investors ---> money ---> laws

Didn't you ever take a government class? You can't buy laws without investors, geez.

The OP getting a lawyer was stupid, though. Better to just pay your ~$100 and file in small claims. Let them spend a few grand on lawyers that (depending on your state laws) they probably have no right to demand back. And if you spent less time bitching and more researching laws and precedent, you'd have an easy case.

PSA: Like in many professions, a large percentage of lawyers are lazy, inept, and stupid. Hiring your own lazy, inept, stupid person is not the solution to this.
