John, If you were referring to our company; we are sorry to hear that you felt scalped? If this is the case please let us know and we will be happy to put you on our non sell list. If not please excuse this post. There are business reasons that retailers such as us have to retail products at a higher price then you can buy direct
No you weren't who I purchased from.

Why are you addressing me. Did I write anything that lead you to believe that I purchased from you? Are you the only retailer?

What does "we will be happy to put you on our non sell list " mean? It doesn't sound very friendly.

SelfDefense, I think Lasports "list" was tongue in cheek. I found John's use of the term "scalper" was a poor choice at best.
Hi Nat
At what point does the word scalping apply? Is it 50%, 30%, 20% etc. above full retail price? Do the math on the mark up. It's everybody's prerogative to pay what they want to pay above full retail, but the word is still applies.
You're right I wasn't trying to offend, I don't know Lasports.

My original post was about the business ethics of holster makers that want full payment in advance, over booking, not delivering in a reasonable time.
