No I am a customer of both. Dicks is the middle man here. Dicks was telling people that originally Monday from CS lines that the reason that they weren't fulfilling orders was that Troy was not going to do so anymore. Dicks was throwing Troy under the bus so to speak initially. Troy found out, through other people not me, that this was happening. Why would this matter? Because if the blame of order fulfillment is dropped on Troy, then people would not buy Troy products from any retailer. When the blame is placed where it rightfully belongs in consumer perception on Dicks, then consumers will still buy Troy products from other outlets.

yeap. Troy is protecting themselves by telling the truth. Also dicks is opening themselves up for a nasty lawsuit from troy for trying to blame them and not filling the contract.

This I can agree with. OP still all hung up over nothing though. You pre-order something, it is a promise in the future. Shit can happen, like a gun buying panic, and you agree to the terms by purchasing that way.

If he really wanted it right then, he would've coughed up a little extra money and bought the damn thing in person and have it physically reserved. Cry all he wants.

Crap responses? Why not just ignore them if you feel they were crap responses? I think you responded most, if not all of the them. How about you stop responding to my posts and I'll do the same to yours? I need to go back to doing some real legal work anyway. I have billable hours to meet because that's the way law in the real world works.

For the record, there were no attacks until the one you posted. And nobody is getting bent out of shape here. You say I have a problem with the justice system whereas I encouraged you to file the suit long ago in this thread - you even have the legal links ready to go so you are ahead of the game! All things considered, I don't understand why you are so mad.


Lol, I just respond in kind when people seem to think that I have no legal recourse here, or that if I don't get mediation here that exercising my legal rights to file litigation is somehow wrong.

Just because I'm not a lawyer doesn't mean I haven't studied law either. I realized early on that there are more "poor working lawyers" out there compared to any other profession. The vast majority of lawyers don't make that much and there is a massive glut of them for their services out there. So trying to use the logic fallacy attack of asserting your position from authority doesn't work in this case.

As for using crap responses, trying to equate my situation to your Newegg buying experience is what I call crap. Even coming from a self admitted lawyer. If you are a real lawyer, and I'm not saying you aren't, trying to equate those two scenarios was stupid. by even attempting to, you are making an argument to try to undermine my position as being less legally sound based upon your scenario that was not the same. I take offense at crap logic fallacies like that.

Until you receive an AR15 from Troy, I don't believe you are a Troy customer. You are only a customer of Dick's, who promised you a troy product in exchange for your payment. I can take your money in exchange for an Ipad, but that doesn't automatically make you an apple customer.

If it's necessary I don't blame Troy from defending themselves from any wrong information put forward thru Dick's representatives, but throwing out lawsuit verbage frivolously has much bigger ramifications when done between corporate business partners than it does with individual customers who have formal relationship with the companies.

In anticipation of the AR15, I already purchased additional Troy battle magazines (since the ar15 doesn't accept other 3rd magazines such as Pmags), squid grips, and other troy accessories. I am a Troy customer. If the problem with order fulfillment had been from Troy and not Dicks, I would have been going after Troy and upset with them. So would everyone else. However, the problem is solely with Dicks.

Get over it lmao. You Pre-ordered something and it fell through. That is a risk with pre-orders. People just don't understand anymore these days.

Unless it is physically in your hands, it is nothing but a future promise, a promise that dicks can legally break.

Peoples expectations are through the roof, its -almost- funny if it weren't so mind blowing.

"Pre-ordering is the same as buying!"

No its not.

it's actually pretty sad when you think about it. it just goes with the entitlement attitude of people that has grown big time in the past decade or so. i mean he got his money back (so nothing lost) AND $100 extra, and he STILL feels entitled to more.

EDIT:

it's actually kind of amusing because i just purchased some speakers from a small company up in WI. while i didn't buy them new from him, his typical turn around time is about 5 weeks or so but it is based on the orders that come in. well over the holidays he gets more swamped and he was sick for about a week, so it backlogged him even more. people over at AVS who were on the waitlist and had already dropped THOUSANDS on speakers were more than understanding about the situation. they could have gotten their money back if they wanted but everyone waited it out.

i couldn't imagine if these same customers at dicks were customers of his - his company probably wouldn't be around anymore.

Thread should be renamed to "ATOT is bunch of *****"

This is the slickdeal lemming crowd who get hellbent on receiving their 'hot deal' regardless of situations, and then become orgasmically excited to make companies pay for their ensuing erectile dysfunction once they learn they won't get the deal.

So they head over to sites like resellerratings and use terms like deception, fraud, dishonest, scam and so on in order to attempt to slander companies into submission, regardless of whether or not the company makes concessions for the lack of fulfilled orders. Meanwhile they spout terms like lawsuit and class action etc to make one's pnis feel bigger even tho they have no damages to claim, but since their fragile feelings are hurt they refuse to let it go.

Nope, I'm entitled to what I paid for. I will pursue more if I am forced to do so, but all I want is what I paid for. You guys are warping it all way out of proportion by trying to assign attributes to the scenario that don't exist.

and you paid for the item ($800 i think you said), and received all of that back when they couldn't get the item to you, plus $100 extra.

No, I paid for the item and a contract was engaged with that payment. It wasn't a deposit. It wasn't a preorder. It wasn't a hold. It was a payment in full. That is sales law 101. DSG made an offer for that item at a specific price to be delivered later. I paid in full for that item. No different than if I went to a Sears store and paid for a refrigerator to be delivered to my home a week later for installation. If I had purchased a fridge and paid in full for delivery to not have it delivered, that would also be a breach of sales agreement.

There was no sales document I signed that stated that DSG could back out of delivery of that item once paid for. They are legally liable to deliver that item to me. That is all that matters.

something happened where they couldn't get the item to him. so they refunded him his money, plus extra.

wtf else do you want them to do?

i remember when PS3 was coming out and i was trying to buy as many as possible to flip them. same with when the HP touchpad were going on sale for $99.

both of those times i had orders go through that ended up not being able to be fulfilled, simply because the demand could not be met.

what did they do? they refunded me my money and life went on. i didn't expect them to do more than that.

The "something that happened" was DSG changed their mind. They had stock and inventory of the item to fulfill paid for orders. Someone on ar15.com recently posted that the Dicks manager at his store had his gun for pickup, but is now being forced by corporate to return it before he can pick it up. DSG is breaking sale contract law by refusing to fulfill orders despite being physically able to do so.

This ain't the same. Demend can be met (and was). Dick just decided to NOT sale the gun anymore (and then threw troy under the bus). What can they do? fulfill the order they agreed to and not take anymore orders. I wouldn't deal with Dicks either after that (anyway Gander Mountain is far better) i can understand the ops being pissed.

to expect something at a cost that both parties agreed to is not entitlement.

well yea if you didn't realize it, the whole newtown shooting thing is kind of an exception to the rule and not something commonly dealt with, so this is new territory to everyone.

again, you got your money back + extra which is MORE than fair enough imo, and i hope that if you do sue that you lose. but more power to you.

No, they are not legally allowed to just give me my money back and break off the contract without my permission. There is no entitlement in this scenario. Goods were offered for sale. Goods were sold with an expected delivery. Delivery was not met because the seller changed their mind. Changing your mind is not a legal excuse for failure of contractual agreement.

Try this for shits and giggles. Go buy a used car from a dealer. Drive off with the car and come back the next day and demand your money back. Tell them, here's the car I want my money back. See what happens.

i agree, but to expect MORE than what you were entitled to initially, when the transaction falls through, IS entitlement.

your goods were valued at $800 and you got $900 worth when the goods couldn't be delivered.

just go sue them and let us know how that goes.

I will sue them if they refuse a legally drafted letter from my lawyer to redress the failure to deliver on promised goods. Have no doubt about that. I have no doubt that if I am forced to sue them I will win and it will not cost me a dime. I already have assurances to that.
