Been looking and adding my name to a few 'lists' for an FX M3 for months.
Talking with a buddy, he got an M3 almost immediately because he wanted one badly enough to buy "A package deal.". Tha package deal meant buying the M3 with a scope, rings, bipod, scope level and moderator....all things that I already have, why would I want "A package deal"? Ultimately spending WAY ore than he anticipated.
So, I called the vendor and was told that I could pick an M3 up right away, GREAT! Not so fast, you gotta buy "The package."
In essence, while my name was on the list at this vendor to by an M3, I could not because I didn't wish to pay for all of the extras that I didn't want or need. So, I wait.
Since when did buying an air gun become like buying a car? Every car has "A package" deal, they all have "options" that I either don't want or care to have, but I gotta buy them because that's how they're sold, package A, B, or C. To me, this is rather shady, getting a customer to buy items only to get one item really wanted. I will not do much business with this vendor going forward and I have bought thousands of dollars of wares from them, plus recommended friends as well....including the guy that bought "The package"!
Aggravating!
Rant over.
