Noticed the bluecore shooting deal that was in the email today is now dead.

Their stock also TANKED not long ago. They're the subject of a class action.

Wall street is NOT optimistic about Groupon (GRPN). Right now, they NEED ALL THE DAMN DEAL THEY CAN GET.
Their mobile device was a huge fail. Lack of interest from consumer from mobile network.

Fuck em. I'll add them to the list of places that don't get my business.

That.

I never bought into the concept, so it'll be really easy for me to boycott.

That's a pretty unfortunate deal. I could see this costing Groupon dearly. I used one of the Groupon deals for my CCW and I know the CCW instruction company depends on Groupon to fill up his classrooms.

I have been in the early stages of starting up a new business and we were going to use Groupon as one of our key marketing tools. Groupon is a very powerful marketing tool if used correctly. Hopefully Groupon gets it together and does the right thing.

I have used groupon a few times, but will not be doing any dealings with them from now on. My Buddy just started a Gym and he was talking with groupon and they take a A large portion of the deal, so they must have been making a killing on all the firearms related training classes.

Every vendor I've ever talked to after using Groupon has had nothing pleasant to say about the experience. For something like a CCW class where you're not actually giving away product, just your time I could see it not having as much of an impact.

My local butcher ran one and I bought it and after talking to him about the nightmare it was I tossed it and paid him full price for the stuff.

Yep, they take something like 50%+ so if you have a groupon of $25 for $50 worth of product you only see like $12 out of the $50 credit you gave.
