But I've been stewing and seething all morning.
Not a happy teddy bear this morning. I had a phone call from BAR just after 9 0 clock, saying that the venom 45 was already sold. Call me a cynic, but I think there is something not all together right going on here. I paid for the gun on the internet, and the payment was accepted. Surely if the gun had already sold, their system wouldn't have allowed me to pay for it again? As soon as I had paid for it, it promptly disappeared from the website. Why didn't this happen when the buyer that beat me to it bought it? Has anyone else had this happen? Alternatively, and this is what is going around my head and won't go away: did they realise that they had priced it too cheaply, so told me it was already sold and promptly refunded my payment? Not making any accusations of such a thing actually happening, just considering the possibility. It can't have been a customer in the shop buying it, because it was after closing time. I shall be keeping my eyes on their website for it reappearing at a much higher price.
One thing is for sure, they have lost any further business I may have had with them.
