A store refused to sell to me today
|
|
I was browsing around a local shoe store yesterday and notice they had a brand of running shoes on sale for 50-70% off. Apparently they were no longer interested in selling them so they were trying to unload the whole supply, which was probably about 20 or so boxes in varying sizes and models. I got a pair for myself, then did some checking on Ebay last night. People were bidding on used sets of the shoes for the same price I could get these new, so I went back today and tried to buy the entire supply. They said no and told me to leave. WTF?

I don't think so, the boxes are all right there on the shelf for most of them.

They didn't want you to undercut them? A lot of stores will limit people to a certain amount on sale items. The sale items are used to get people in the store and buy more expensive things.

Duh. it's because they want the sale to bring in much more than just one person. They are counting on some to buy other items as well. It's called a draw card.

It's still kind of scummy. I mean, you're selling something and a willing customer wants to buy it, but you get refused because the sale isn't ideal for the seller? That's dishonest, especially without any kind of advertised limit.

probably did have that written somewhere in fine print and you just missed it.
just go buy one pair yourself and have someone else buy another one for you if you want them that bad. doubt they'd turn you away if you bought just one.

They should have to say limit 1 per customer?

They probably reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. And I think it's completely fair.

Stores get weird. When I worked at Wal-Mart one of the managers was going on about auto shops buying out anti-freeze, oil, whatnot and selling it to their customers like it was a big deal.
It was like ummm so? They paid us right? Hell if they would have asked I would have gladly special ordered them a damned pallet.

It was kind of funny. When I tried to tell them about Ron Paul and the value of gold they threatened to have security throw me out.

If you think you can make a profit off the shoes on ebay, play their game.
