I've noticed it a few months ago and found another few instances of it the other day while window shopping for guns . Every now and then I get the urge to buy from Bud's but then I'm reminded of this inventory game:
Now the internet isn't my primary firearms purchasing portal, but I've a lot of buying here otherwise. I've never seen this at any major retailer and it reeks of bad business at first glance. So much so that it effectively turns me off from actually buying from them.
Of course, that may just entirely be just be me, but $24/yr just to get the jump on your fellow customer seems seedy; to the point where I'd just hop on over to CDNN to purposely not buy from buds. Anyway, just been bugging me for a bit and had to get it off my chest.
Annual Cost (without annual auto renewal): $24.95
Annual Cost (with annual auto renewal): $19.95
