I was just at the one in Paramus and the hunting section seems bare, in the past you were able to get great deals on hunting stuff to clear the floor for whatever sport season is next, I asked the employee who was in the hunting section if they are selling the floor models yet and I was told they do sell floor model but not tree stands, I was told that they throw them out, The store considers it a liability to sell the floor models. What a waste!!!

So, when the new models come out...It may be worthwhile to drive around back and do some dumpster diving??

They likely have it in a closed off trash bin. Stores figure if you take it from the trash, it's one less thing you will buy from them. I remember the good ol' days when you could jump into a 30 yarder, get some quality stuff and have something decent with a few minor repairs!

Dumpster diving just ain't like it used to be!

Yep, been there done that as well. Got into an arguement with the store manager because they only had a floor model left in the stand I was looking for and he wouldn't sell it to me. It's always something at that place. Unfortunately the only game in town by me.

yup for every rule probably 3 people sued over the issue already. I work writing policy for a large energy company. This is exactly where our policies come from. Policy on calling in sick why? because at least three people did not bother to call in sick. Policy on answering the company phone, why because we give them a phone and at least 3 people did not bother to answer or return calls.
All rules are self inflicted lmao

I try to avoid that store if I can... Every time I have gone there, I left disappointed..the name says it all... And every store I have been to has the worst staff imaginable.... It's pretty sad when I know more about what the sell then they do..I just hit up a local sports shop or order online..
