    I need some advice

    So after 10 days of waiting.. I finally picked up my lower..

    and when I paid for it 10 days ago.. the gentlemen that rang me up scanned it and it was lower than it was marked for.. I asked again before giving him my plastic card.. The total was almost $200 dollars compare to $310 (cost of the complete lower)

    When I signed the paperwork 10 days ago, the paper stated it was paid in full and all sales are final..

    come today, I went it and the gentlemen was like.. it was rang up wrong.. I was like.. okay.. how much do i owe you? he said $180.. so now my total is close to $400 compare to the $200 I paid 10 days ago..

    If I screwed up on my part, I would be completely fine with it..

    my question is, is it my fault that it was rang lower than it is marked for? am I the one accountable for it?

    if not, can I go back and talk to the store manager about? cause is an $200 dollars difference from what I paid for 10 days ago..

    thanks guys..

    From what I understand, once you sign the DROS paperwork it's yours.
    No take-backs.

    If they rang it up wrong I would think they still have to deliver it to you since it's yours by law...

    IANAL and I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will come along with a stronger answer.

      You knew the counter clerk made a mistake.

      Obviously, you owe them more money. Mistakes don't give you half price....

        If their paper says paid in full then that's their F up not yours.

          When I signed the paperword, it stated everything has to be paid in full during purchase..

          and it was paid in full when I purchased it.

          if the mistake is my fault, I would take full responsibility of it no questions asked..

          what can I do? how can I move forward with it?

            ask them where they came up with $180

            if you paid $200 and it was supposed to be $310 + tax on the $310 + DROS should be about $360

            edit: did you also buy a bullet button at the time? that would account for the missing $20

              David,

              I did purchase the bullet button from them..

              with tax+dros+bb it was almost $200..

              I'm just a little irritated, there was no apologizing or anything.. it was just straight up, it was rang wrong and you now owe $180 dollars.. that didn't sit too well with me on the way home tbh..

                What does the paperwork say? Does it have an out the door total before payment or showing after payment, what about a price tag? I'm trying to understand I have two scenarios below that I'm guessing happened:
                A. The price tag was wrong first sales person corrects to lower price but something is still marked the higher price so the second guy adjusts price to incorrect tag which is higher.
                B. The price is correct first guy messed up second guy catches mistake.
                I think you are saying the first of the two but you already have it legally transferred to you. Maybe consult BBB

                  What kind of lower did you buy? Complete polymer, stripped billet, complete milspec? Make sure you keep track of your receipts and the credit card transaction. My understanding is that DROS can only be completed once the firearm is fully purchased. Something is definitely wrong, never heard of a problem like that. Only time I've ever been charged after a DROS was for my HST card because they forgot to ring me up when I took the test.

                    Let me understand what happened exactly.

                    You bought a complete lower that costs $310?
                    And when it was brought up for $200 you paid that amount knowing that it's suppose to cost more?
                    And now the store wants you to pay the entire amount?

                    If it is so, you would legally owe them money should they choose to collect it from you. They probably won't, but they can.

                    I'm not 100% sure how it'll go down, but they would either:
                    1. Charge your card for the difference without your authorization and have you pursue legal actions, which you'll probably end up losing.
                    2. Maybe, give up collecting the difference from you because it'll end up costing them more in the end.

                    You should really pay them the difference, since they'll most likely charge you anyhow, and nicely ask them to give you store credit for causing this mess.

                      The first thing you need to do is determine what the correct price was. You say that the clerk scanned the price at check out. You say that you asked the clerk to verify the price after the lower than marked price was quoted, AND the clerk repeated the lower price. You have a receipt that is marked paid in full with the serial number of the Lower. That's the whole ballgame. You have a legitimate sale, and you owe the store nothing more. You have a valid receipt. I would not pay the store another penny. The store is obligated to hand over your Lower when the 10 Days is over.

                      You say a 2nd clerk says there was a mistake made and you owe more money. If there was a mistake made, it was made by the store. For all you know the price you paid was the correct price and the 2nd clerk is mistaken.

                      If the correct price was the higher price, and the clerk made a mistake when he punched the sale price into the cash register, then you could consider making some sort of deal with the store, but you are not obligated. If the clerk scanned the price and the price was automated entered into the cash register at the time of purchase, then the mistake is the store's and again, you have a valid receipt for the Lower and you own it legally. Again, it would be up to you whether you want to give the store more money.

                      If you never plan on going back into that store again, you might take the hard road. If you plan on ever shopping there again, you might consider a compromise.

                      You never mentioned what kind of Lower it was, and whether it was a Stripped Lower, or a complete Lower. Stripped AR Lowers are going for $50-$100, while complete are going anywhere from $100 up. $310 for a Complete Lower is no great deal.

                        Turners and other places near me charge 450+ for complete sig lowers. Ive seen 600$ complete lowers. 170$ stripped forged lowers are common as well.

                          Did you know price was wrong? If so I think you should pay them. You are just trying to scrounge a deal....

                          If you did not know, then its their problem and they should give it to you at that price.

                          Back at my old Retail job, if we screwed up and put a sale price on a non sale Item. We gave that price to the person, then we would go fix the mistake and move along. But all the time we would get people who would try and trick us and take advantage of that just to get deals... dirtbag move in my opinion

                              If OP pointed out the price difference and the point was acknowledged and he was still given the lower price then I believe he is in the clear, it's on the store. Deal with the clerk or make it up on the next guy. It may be an agreed upon contract now.
                              I would want my lower and would have a clear conscious about it sine the OP did his part..
