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.

Now there's a plan , maybe it would straighten them out !!!!! I contacted them also ,never heard back and when I call any Cabela's no one has ever answered their phone in the Gun Library always a recording !!!!

I need to edit my Post , I actually did receive a call late this afternoon after my post here , that the gun has been sold ! I believe this is the first time Cabela's has ever returned my call !

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

Larry I did the same, and was given the same response.


I hope someone in the Parker Universe ended up with this deal!!

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.

That would have been an amazing deal at 300.00!
