Went to three big sporting goods stores between rogers and St. cloud. retailer in rogers had the SM Magnum 349 retailer in St. cloud had them at the same price, retailer #2 in St. Cloud had a 3"x4" sticker on all the boxes of the auger I was interested in at 299. I bring it up front to check out and it comes up 349. Evidently they were supposed to be 349 but they gave it to me for the marked price. after I was done, the fishing dept. manager removed all the stickers. Has anyone else had this ever happen. I use to work retail, so I know what these guys go through. I was happy they gave me the price and I will continue to shop there. good luck hunters

Nice they honored their "mistake". Silly they didn't catch it earlier but your right. somethimes you get lucky. I purchased my SM magnum for 325 to my door and thought that was a great price.

Yup, that happened to me 3 years ago when I went to buy my porty. Store said they had 2 left at $395.00...hustled right over to get one. When I got there, nope, we're all out! GRRRRR! They would not sell me the display one, which was sitting on two boxes...guess what was in the boxes? And the boxes were marked $199.00...store manager told me take it, he'd OK it. Tags came off the other REAL quick!

Ed Carlson is a manager at the Gander in Fargo (I think its Fargo) and he posted on here last year that the StrikeMaster GlideLite sleds were 50% off. I went to Mankatos GM and they were regular price. I let them know that other Ganders had them 50% off, they made a phone call and gave me one 50% off. I love that sled, but IMO it is way overpriced at regular price, half off is a decent price.

The 50% off thing was an end of season price on the SM-GlideLite sled late last season, and likely is no longer in effect and would most likely return to regular MSRP by now. That is if they are not discontinued, if so, they may still be marked down yet..not sure off hand if they are? I think they went back up?

Yeah I think they are back up to normal price. It was just a year end thing. I seen in the Reeds book they are $89.99 + $20 to ship. OUCH. The last month of the season I used mine almost daily, it is a slick sled- but StrikeMasters a little proud of it pricewise.

That happened to me when I bought my Clam 6800 it was the first year of the trap link and they had a bright green printed paper with the price on it on the display model and when they rang it up it was $100.00 more. I told them the price on the display and 2 guy practically ran to the display and pulled the paper off and then gave it to me for advertised price on the paper, which was $100.00 less then anyone was selling them for. I kinda felt bad because they had already threw in a trap link to sweeten the deal that I'm sure they didn't want to ask for it back.
