Default Another Cabela's Screw up

Yesterday I thought I bought this top action, fish tail, 12 gauge with 30" Twist Steel barrels made in 1887 from the "World's Foremost Outfitter". It took my credit card and gave me a confirmation number and I was HAPPY! That was 8:30 am MDT. But, around 4:00 pm I received a cancellation of my order. Apparently, their system will allow the purchase of an item even if someone else has already purchased it; or so they say. But, I think it had a whole lot to do with the fact that the gun was only $300 bucks and sumpin went on after my purchase. More shenanigans from Carbellars. Very disappointing. I only hope that someone here was actually the recipient of this shotgun.

I saw that gun yesterday afternoon and though the price was a typo.

Contact a lawyer. When they approved your card that is a contract. They are obligated to sell you the gun.

I'd start with the general manager of the store rather than the gun library guys anyway.

Sue for breach of contract. Win your case for specific performance and get the gun for $300.00. Then pay your lawyer $5,000.00, for services rendered.

I didn’t even try this time. I knew there was some funny business about to be had.
