Bushnell 3-9 x 40mm Firefly Reticle Riflescope $19.99 SCAM!!!!!!!!
warning its a scam
http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?...46m&svbname=30 looks like a typo, but i was able to add the item in the cart. maybe they dont know that scope is worth $200 because they're based in newyork? Last edited by polar117; August 22, 2005 at 02:11 PM. |

Hmmmm, if you Google: "Bushnell 3-9 x 40mm Firefly Reticle Riflescope" the first search result is:
Product search results for Bushnell 3-9 x 40mm Firefly Reticle Riflescope Bushnell 3-9 x 40mm Firefly Reticle Riflescope (Matte) - $194.99 - Etronics When you click that link, you get the page referred to at the top of this post, complete with $19.99 price tag. It'll be interesting to see if they actually ship at that price. Even so, I'd do a "save page as" on that link if you expect to get away clear on it.

Heck, I didn't need them, but didn't stop me from just purchasing two of them!
$39.98, shipped. Can't beat that sort of pricing... |

from epinions:
"After multiple contradictory and often times redundant emails, WE HAVE NOW REPORTED THIS MATTER TO, AND ARE IN THE PROCESS OF FILING A CLAIM WITH CONSUMER REPAIRS. This has been and continues to be an absolute nightmare! DISHONEST MERCHANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "I passionately hate them" "The worst on line shopping experience ever" "THERE ARE 68 COMPLAINTS AT BBB ABOUT THIS COMPANY." crap, those are some bad reviews |

I ordered the Bushnell 3-9 x 40mm Firefly Reticle Riflescope (Matte) finish, not the silver.
Let's see......they said: "The price should have been $4,299.99 We will therefore be canceling your order "for this item" immediately. We have already changed our site at this time to the correct price." Search of website shows the corrected price now listed at $189.99 not $4,299.99. The link below is what they sent me as their correction link. (Pioneer.... Not even Close to the right item). http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?...de=pioprvlx1dd The above link came back as : Pioneer PRVLX1DD Dual Drive Professional DVD-Video Recorder, Priced at $5,299.99. Where did they get this from??? I am sure that when they got orders for 12,584 units within the last 24 hrs, somebody figured it out. However, based on their above performance, I will still check my mail box for the next few days. *** I have ordered from them before and got a great price on a GPS and everything was perfect. OK..That's done, Whats the next big deal of the century up for our taking on "Retail Deals and Feedback" |

Like everyone else, I too got the same email.
As for eopinions, well, you know what they say about opinions.. Heck, they had 1300 opinions with a 4/5 rating. All companies are going to have bad feedback. I'm not concerned, just a bit sad. |

I just received a package today with two Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9x40 scopes with the FireFly reticle for a total of $55.78 US (about $90.00 CDN) shipped. I have been doing the dance of joy for the last half an hour! Someone screwed up but you won't hear me complain!!
