Not worth the effort for 15 dollars , I just posted as a heads up and I wont do business with them again. There are plenty of reputable dealers and FFL holders around. What go around comes around!! Thanks for the support.

I'd for sure use the power of the interwebs.. the BBB isn't really that effective..
I'd let Bud's know for sure, specially the 'It's from Bud's' part. Post up on every forum you know of that is local to the state.
Word of mouth certainly does more damage. I'd also see what rules are regarding a transfer fee, if there is a max that can be charged.
Grandpa's is on Bud's FFL list for Colorado
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
Then the best and easiest thing we can do is tell Granpa how we feel and the OP should tell Buds what Granpas is doing. Pressure from both sides.
Even if Granpas wasn't playing games, $35 is a pretty steep transfer fee anyway. Most home based, non storefront FFLs are still charging under $20 . . . at least as of last year.
well hell, this time its 15
Next time its Only 20
after that its Only 50
Hell, why give a f*ck at all, really.
Its only Money
Hell why even tell us about it if its not that big of a deal...
Because he's f*cking you and when you leave he will laugh about it and the f*ck someone else.
I Don't know about you, but I call it principle.
F- Grandpa's! If he has a personal problem with Buds he should deal with it and not take it out on those that found the deal!! And those of us that need the savings!! $$$$$$$$$$$$![]()
X1,000 Good post
While I don't agree with any brick throwing or anything, I would at least start with an e-mail, and possibly a link to this thread, letting him know how many potential customers he lost, it is then his choice to make it right, and if he does, you'd be glad to post an update for us, so that we know he's a decent guy after all.
I think it's totally worth the time, just out of principle. We can't let businesses do this and get away with it, and +1 with what Byte said.
That's how the government has screwed us so many times too.

I think that experience is total BS. I've been in Grandpas quite a few times and it always appeared that they had interesting and diverse stock- but that doesn't beat this crap. Even over a measly $15. Not likely I'll ever go in there again. They are off of my list.
FYI, All The prices I saw on Bud's gun shop are the same prices at Green Mtn Guns.
