Hello,
Yesterday at the Bend, OR location they had three bricks of .22 ammo that were priced at essentially a 'scalper' price of $59.95 per brick. I was told it was Winchester and this is typically around the $22.00 - $24.00 price at any one of another large retail outlets. I consider this price gouging and a retail store with as large a 'footprint' as Big 5 has should not resort to 'street level scalping' - regardless of the availability. Unfortunately a friend of mine bought one at that price and was disappointed to discover later he could buy online for less than half that amount from a large online distributor and have it shipped freight free. As a gesture of goodwill I am asking on my friends' behalf you refund him 50% of his purchase price.
Sincerely,
XXXXXX
