I apologize for the delay in your order. We found out today that we have been put on the do not sell list from Leupold for violating their Minimum Advertised Price policy. We were unaware of this until it happened and for the next month we are unable to sell Leupold products.

As such, I have had to cancel your order and I released the authorization on your credit card. You should see that authorization drop off within two business days.

I sincerely apologize that we were not able to complete your order.

Thank you,

Price fixing?

I think price fixing is when you get together with your competition and agree on a price. This is more of an agreement between the manufacturer and the retailer. Not sure but I think it generally is to protect smaller retailers who may not be able to purchase in quanities to recieve as low of price as the bigger ones. Probably more reasons for it than that.

Your spot on... I stand corrected

Doug's away but we do have 1 still available. Give me a call at 516-217-1000 if you need our last one

I guess they don't have any problem with the two dealers on Gunbroker that have them for $315. Maybe it's just the advertised website prices that come up in Google searches.

I still think there was some kind of a promotion for the first batch. Why would a dealer cut their profit so much on a new model, if not? The one on Gunbroker shows a whole shipping case full of the same boxed model on their ad.

Maybe they just havent got their letter from Leupold yet.
