I've been on Marks email list for years. I've been to countless sales and they have never disappointed. I got an email yesterday at 7 PM, after store hours informing me of "Shimano Days Sale" with a huge selection of shimano reels at wholesale prices. I got there this morning right after they opened and there were 2 reels with a sale sticker on them and a cabinet full with MSRP stickers. I asked the salesman where the shimano sale was expecting a table full somewhere, he laughed and said they all sold quick! There were maybe 10-15 guys shopping, only 1 in the fishing department. It's hard to believe Marks has started bait and switch ad campaigns, their emails will now be flagged for junk.

All about the $$$

Disappointing. I got the email as well and thought about running by for that as well. Glad I didn't waste my time.

I'm on the Email list and didn't get anything.

A lot of times I get the emails late.

When was the sale supposed to be?

Did it start the day you got there or maybe the day before?

God Bless,

I got the email too, at 7:03 pm. Email just indicated it was today.

Did that to me on a pistol except I called a reserved one..Was there next morning as they opened..gosh darn someone musta sold it yesterday..Never went back..

I got the Shimano email and the gun sale one.

There is more high dollar "man bags" and clothing than outdoors gear up there these days.

It's just not the same place that it was before Mark passed that's for sure.

A little over a year ago I stopped by there to pick up some jigs. I went straight in to the jigs got what I needed without speaking to anyone and when I was coming off the jig aisle a lady comes up and tells me I have to leave because they don't allow competitor advertising in their store. I said what the hell are you talking about!! She pointed to my River Rats reel repair shirt and said you can't wear that in here. I handed her the dozen jigs and told her where to put them and walked out. I'll not be back

What stupid policy.
It sounds like Marks when he was alive was one of the best gun shops in the South East.

I quit going in there. Nothing I ever wanted at prices I wasn't paying. Go to Simmons.

That might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard

You got that right.."pretty stuff"

I used to go in there once a week. I bet I haven't been in there in over a year. Not the same place as it used to be and the employees act like they are doing you a favor if they help you with anything.

Srew that. Guess they'll wanna throw ya out if you're wearing a Bass pro or Cabela shirt also. LMAO buncha Idots..

Mark was always nice to me and helped me in several ways. Jeremy, Dave and a few others are really good people in my opinion so I will continue to shop with them when I need something! The store will never be what it was when Mark ran it but it is still a good store imo.

They'll run there self out of buisness like that. I'll never darken a door that jas a attitude like that. A shirt is a shirt 90% of my t shirts have something one them. That i buy when i go some where or they give me with a purchase etc. Ot would have been different if you was talling people the place on your shirt does better job, better prices etc, but just for wearing a shirt is a bit ridiculous

I walked in Marks about 15yrs ago with a competitors T-shirt on. Mark saw me walk in and told me to go pick out a Marks Outdoors T-shirt! He didn't ask me to put it on or take my shirt off, but I did at the T-shirt rack. A retail store could not do any better than Marks while he was around. Man I miss that place!!

Yep hell I wear our company shirts to home improvement stores and places that do the same stuff we do. And I've never had an issue hell I'm there purchasing products from them lol...
