  1. Walk a mile in a retailer's shoes and a lot of comments made in this thread might be different. The consumer needs to consider that the retailer pays a fee for each credit card swipe processed and can do this one of three ways: 1. Charge the 3% as a "convenience fee" for accepting the credit card and give cash/check purchases a discount. ie "You save me some money, I'll save you some money." 2. Build the 3% additional markup into their retail prices and proudly tout that there is no extra fee for using credit cards. ie "What you don't know you're paying won't hurt you." 3. Not charge the 3% fee, not build it into their prices and lose 3% off of the profit margin of each sale. ie "I'm not in business to make money; I just like surrounding myself with pushy, hard to satisfy people all day long because it's fun."
  2. Whether or not a gun shop takes a firearm back and issues a refund is totally at their discretion. It's On Target's prerogative to decline refunds on firearms, which is a practice that a lot of gun shops follow. Whether or not it is "good customer service" is fairly irrelevant, especially if the customer knows that this is their policy before the buy the firearm. I'd be curious if they have any signage or text on their receipts to the effect that all firearms sales are final. But we can be certain that Arsenal is not following their own claim of providing a 1-year warranty from the date of sale. One would assume that the burden of proving that the rifle had been sold over a year ago would be on them, not on the buyer. The buyer has no way of knowing and has to trust what the retailer told them. If I were On Target, I'd be pissed at Arsenal for insinuating that the firearm was used, sold as new, and making sure that they took care of my customer.
  3. Poll Here: http://www.tngunowne...-do-we-keep-it/ And I'm closing this thread. While I appreciate the feedback, there are seriously times when I wonder why I bother with the headaches. Especially with comments to the effect that the Benefactor program is losing it's value. The Benefactor program keeps TGO online for you to enjoy. If it stops being effective, then this site goes away. The Classifieds are a perk, not the reason why you should support TGO. Support it because you appreciate it being available.
  4. Tell you what... let's open it for a vote. I'll let the poll run for the next 30 days. If enough people say they miss the old way, we'll go back and the money and time and effort spent on the new classifieds will just be a loss.
  5. How is it you feel that the new system is hurting Benefactors from being able to sell? It keeps a lot of of the BS out of the threads. It has absolutely ELIMINATED (since you like bold letters) all of the thread crapping from people who want to jump into a For Sale thread and post about how the item is overpriced, or not exactly what they want, or if it was $100 cheaper they'd buy it, etc. I see that as a major plus. Unless you were into that sort of thing, it appears that it's much, much better to me.
  6. He posted that he had. It's back a page or two if you want to read it.
  7. And here I thought it was TGO that took up most of your time on the internet. Giggity.
  8. Testicular cancer is not anything to play around with. Get a second opinion from a urologist and ask them to consult with an oncologist. It's better to be safe than sorry.
  9. Guys, this really amounts to nothing more than free advertising for a shop that is not yet a Vendor and who has been asked to step up and support the site. I'm closing this thread and we're going to start deleting future such threads. As a consumer this new shop excites me. As the owner of this forum, free advertising irritates me and it's just not fair to the Vendors who do support the site. I hope you all understand where I'm coming from.
  10. Locusts. But I digress. The people who really deserve our anger are the attorneys and judges who project the privileges of citizenship on these criminals who come here and live illegally. I'm convinced that there are absolutely members of the legal profession who hate our country and who won't miss an opportunity to screw it over by twisting and perverting the legal system as a form of sadistic activism.
  11. Man, some of you guys are really on the ball with the jokes in this thread. Gordon, best of luck to you and the plums.
  12. It happens. We're not going back to the "old way" anytime soon. We'll stay the course and work out the kinks.
  13. Well like I've said at least a dozen times before, Tapatalk is not going to be 100% compatible with all of IPB's add ons. That's because IPB doesn't write it.
  14. Seriously? http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/classifieds/
  15. If I have an agent string for a particular Android tablet I can add it.
  16. I wouldn't have posted that since it includes information about your account. I'll take a look.
  17. Benefactors can create one but it goes into a moderation queue for approval (or not). You can also suggest one and we'll take a look at adding it. Can't help you there. I don't have any Android devices.
  18. I'm replying from tapatalk right now.
  19. The forum will process this for you automatically once your payment clears with PayPal. If your PP account did not have the necessary funds or if it processed as an electronic check, it can take several days.
  20. Fixed. Figured I better do it now... no telling how my day is going to go.
  21. Nah no extra work. I'll try to get it fixed today at lunch if I get some time away from work.
  22. CHMR has always allowed us to bring a grill in the past. Unfortunately I am 100% out on anything that might happen for the next 90 days. Way too much going on and quite literally every single weekend for the next month is booked and June isn't looking any better. Big adjustments coming in my house as we take my niece and nephew in to live with us for at least the next year.
  23. Horrible neighborhood; lots of crimes of opportunity over there. I'd pick a place where you aren't as likely to need your gun. Just my $0.02 worth.
