Angry Gruppe-S, how could you!

Well went to gruppe-s's site and saw that they had a CF wing replica on sale for 140. I jumped on it and pm'ed soundwave about it. He agreed to the price of 140 cash picked up. I was like cool (took egan's advice and bought myself an early xmas gift) I got a pm from 2 other i-clubbers and agreed to have one of them pick it up today. So now, they changed their price to 300! I don’t' know why you lured us in and then changed the price. That just not right.

WHAT'S UP WITH THAT!!?!?!?

I tried to pm but no replies.

I know my other 2 i-clubbers are upset as well.

Gruppe-s, what do you have to say?

I know this thread should go somewhere else and maybe it does not make sense but I'm very upset.

So do you have a PM confirming the $140 price?

If we can somehow prove they modified the price AFTER quoting you, I'll take it to Alex.

Please forward it to me and do not delete it.

Additionally, I'd like to hear their response. I wonder if they'll honor the price for you and sell others for $300 or try to force you to pay $300. Do you have a PM indicating the new price from gruppe-s?

Thumbs down

Yeah, I am pretty disappointed. I have an email, a pm, and talked to Preston over the phone. All confirming the $140 price.

I told him I would pick up three and he said it would be $420 cash. I said I would be in later today to pick them up.

Then he called me back 10 minutes later and said that the price was $300 each...

lame.
