IT PAYS TO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN

What was the value of the time and gas you spent working on this and driving back and forth? What was the opportunity cost of not doing something more important?

Anyway, you probably forced them to lose money, so you win

It had a smiley!

Maybe it should have been a winky?

:headscratch:

I don't have the knack for ribbing you the way Mono and Ful-Rac did.

I'm sorry. That went over like a lead balloon. WAY too dry. I retract what I said and apologize.

Have fun, and Merry Christmas!

I had a very similar experience at the store in Oceanside. My elite 5 hdi GPS was very inaccurate. That is basically all I told the guy on the phone and he said bring it down. So I gave him my head unit, kept my transducer, he upgraded me to an HDS 5 and somehow I got a check for $150 in the mail. I guess because the HDS was on sale, and the elite 5 was prices high when I bought it. Definitely wasn't complaining and prefer the HDS well over the Elite.

I'm less than 20 miles from the west marine store in long beach. One of the trips that I made was during a return trip from Irvine, I'm not sure if this counts as double dipping or as a single trip.

On another trip I rode my motorcycle, it gets about 35mph so 40 divided by 35.....carry the 1.....add 2 drop and the 6........subtract the 3 and move the decimal point over twice..............

I would not have saved $200..........duh.

Sorry kiddo, you're wrong........here's why


From West Marines website

http://www.westmarine.com/CustomerSe...atching-Policy


If you find a lower price on an identical product (brand and model) currently in stock at a retail store located within 50 miles, West Marine will match that price (excluding shipping/handling charges or taxes) within 30 days of purchase, subject to the exclusions discussed below.


Ironically, its the very first paragraph on their Price Matching Policy and YES, this also applies to anything you buy at their store or website



By the way, two weeks ago I returned two Teramar rods to Shimano in Irvine, both rods had Manufacturers defects, both had a lifetime warranty and one was purchased back around 2009. I received a new Teramar rod last week and should be getting the second one sometime this week.


I really hope that Shimano and West Marine do not go out of business because I took advantage of a policy that they created.

So, long story short. I will continue to check the West Marine website until 12/25, that's the day I reach 30days from the date of purchase.

Sounds like a great shopping bargain. The real question Jorge is does the HDS-7 Touch Gen 2, handle rolling a Hobie PA 14 in the surf any better then the HDS-5 did.

The transducer still works and the issue with the nut came be fixed. Again, I thought they would probably just give me a new transducer so I was surprised when they told me they would refund me all of me money, on top of that they told me to keep the old unit.
