This is just a hypothetical, but lets say you walk into your favorite firearm dealer and you order a brand new gun. They have it advertised it for a certain sale price, but they are sold out at the time you go in. So they take your money / deposit / downpayment,, whatever. and it takes several weeks for them to get the gun in hand. when it finally comes in they say that

#1- they wont honor the sale price anymore
and / or
#2- the price has been increased by the supplier  (or some BS)

so in turn they try to pass the "increase" on to you. what do you do? Do you pay the extra money and get the gun you want? do you ask to get your money back and go somewhere else? I know this has happend to numerous people. I just want to hear what yawll would do.

I'd get my money and leave.  There are always deals to be had, and you getting blindsided by a merchant doesn't make any sense to me at all.

Tell them to kiss ass and get your money back.

It happened to me and I've not been back to that shop since.

Do you have any evidence of said sale price and that you ordered the gun at that price?

At the shop I always honor a sale price even if I lose some bucks.  I much prefer the fully automatic repeating customer.

I guess it depends...

If it's a common item that I could buy elsewhere for less I may walk, if it's something I may have to hunt for I may pay the extra money if it's not completely insane. I would never visit the place again either way.
