Cabela's is going downhill

[UrbanWolf]

Bass Pro probably bought Cabela’s using a loan, and Cabela’s is the collateral for the loan.

I haven’t been to Cabelas since the buyout. Used to be a fan but can’t stand the new owners.

I’m still shocked some of you are so passionate about this. Even long before the M&A, I thought they were basically the same thing with very little preference.

Kind of what I was thinking.

I pretty much stopped buying from Cabela's regularly long before the Bass Pro buyout. Seems the quality of many of their products went down while prices went up.

I have bought two high-end pair of Leupold binos from them in the last year. Other than that I can't remember the last time I ordered anything from them.

Currently, I have about $300+ in Cabelas points. Perhaps should use them before the firm goes “belly up”. They did recently switch their club cards from Visa to Master Charge.

You might want to check if you still have your points, I lost all of mine when the switch happened.

I went to the Cabelas in sidney once. I walked into the Bass Pro here with a friend once. I find the small shops more interesting.

Why is that? I have some bad ass Red Head boots that I've been wearing for many years and some other stuff too. I'm not complaining about any of it.

Same here, had some good boots and other stuff and loved all of it but, like mine it was likely purchased before the take over by Basspro. Unfortunately, now it?s all low quality stuff branded for ?quality? markup.

Cancelled my Cabela's club card after I cashed out the points, literally on the day before the sale was finalized. No more Cabelas for me.
