Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Moving on

This will be my last post on 24hr due to Rick's decision to accept my advertising dollar then start selling optics priced $5. less than our prices. Obviously this is a conflict of interest on my part. I see many of ya'll on other sites and will still offer special deals and help ya'll out any way I can (just won't be here). Check out the optics boards at HuntChat.com, ar15.com and Shooters.com. Shooters has really changed for the better and keeps getting better.
<br>
<br>See you guys around.

Sorry to see you go, Chris.
<br>
<br>Prices were not set with you in mind. I gave a directive to my employee to find the lowest advertised prices on the Internet, and match them. It came down to Bear Basin and you, and we matched whoever was lower, unit by unit and scope by scope.
<br>
<br>Also, I never hid the fact that I was interested in selling optics. In fact, I asked you to become our supplier twice, once when we first went live two-plus years ago. You considered it then and ultimately decided against it. After the SHOT Show in February, I came to you again. I was offered a chance at a Leupold Dealership at the SHOT Show. I came to you before accepting that deal because of your reputation, and because of our past dealings. I wanted you to be our supplier. You weren't interested. I understand completely. But I wasn't going to turn down the other deal too.
<br>
<br>I have no hard feelings. I'd be glad to leave your banner up for the remainder, or I would be glad to give you a pro-rated refund. Whatever you'd like. Hell, I'd still like for you guys to be our supplier!
<br>
<br>Finally, I'll go on the record here once again to say that Chris and SWFA are a top-flight outfit. I have purchased from Chris, and the service and price were excellent. I have nothing but good things to say about Chris Farris and SWFA.
<br>
<br>I'd like to leave it at that other than to request that we conduct the rest of our remaining business via email or, preferably, phone. I have no intention of bad-mouthing anyone, either online or off.
<br>
<br>It's just business.
<br>

Chris,
<br>
<br>I hate to see you go. I've bought optics from SWFA for years and highly value your knowledge and great customer service. I will continue to buy from you in the future. See ya on the other sites.

Chris,
<br> Sort of doubt this will mean the end business with anyone who's done business with you in the past. You have been an asset to this board. Wish Rick the best of luck, however, my business is staying in Texas until I see reason to do otherwise.
<br>
<br>Regards, Matt.

Shooters administrator may have improved the site, but they don't have anything like the quality of posters that I can find here or at accuratereloading.com.
<br> Here we have lots of people that know more than I do. E

What's the big hurry to bail? You can still post here without advertising. Might be worth some business to you. Afterall, that is what you're after. Or maybe you could just post here because it would be a "nice thing to do."
<br>
<br>Something to think about...

Chris, Hate like the devil to see you go but understand the decision. I will definitely be in touch for future needs. TM

Chris,gonna miss you,around these parts.
<br>
<br>You've never done me anything less than GREAT business and it is very much appreciated. You are a Class Act and I look forward to trading with you again,should my Wife grant permission(grin).
<br>
<br>Hate to see you go..................

Ditto on that. Chris, no reason not to lurk a little & give the fire a prod occasionally. badger.

Chris. I will miss you here, have allways enjoyed doing business with you. your service is great. hope you will drop in once in a while. tom

Chris:
<br>
<br>The door remains open, in case you change your mind.
<br>
<br>Rick

Chris, I understand completely. Friendship is friendship and business is business. I hope we can continue both in the future as well as we have in the past.

I'm glad to know Rick is up and running, nothing personal against SWFA, but being in Texas, I have to pay sales tax on their stuff, while I don't from suppliers in other states. Made that error once, can't afford to repeat it very often. Not their fault, just a fact of life.
