WTH is up with Bullseye

[leelaw]

To me it says he is either gonna chill with his fam, or make as much money as possible, the sencond doesnt mention the fam, just that he doesnt care about making money.

"I'm doing A or doing B."

"I am not doing B"

The statements are not contradictory, and lead to a sound inference that the speaker will do A.

Besides, I got those qutes from 2 different threads, one here and one on another thread that mentions nothing of his family. Just that he doesnt care about making money, and makes it see like he's doing us a favor by selling guns.
Check it out...

Let me put this thread into context. I sell guns, but not for a living. I am actually at the point in my gun selling career that I really don't care about making money anymore. My time is now worth more than the money I make at my shop. I am tired and I am burnt out from spending every hour outside of my regular full time job at this gun shop. I want to go back to just being a nice local store that offers superior customer service and guns at a decent price.

I do not "need" to make any sales to anyone at this point in time. I have no desire to stir up a frenzy and keep the sales going. So save your cries of "stiring up the pot" and claims of FUD.
What I am going to tell you is the truth. There is not a single AR15 lower receiver or complete AR15 rifle left at any of the wholesalers. The only guns I do see are a few R15s, but even those are starting to go. SIG 556s, Mini-14s, and M1As are out. Pretty much everything semi-automatic and rifle is gone.

That is not all. Glocks, Springfield Armory XDs, Sig pistols, S&W M&P pistols, and just about every other pistol out there are now gone too! Gone. Just bits and pieces of OD or unpopular colors remain and those are even hard to find. Home defense shotguns are drying up too. I can't find .223 ammo anywhere.

In short, the wholesalers are pretty much out of everything.

Now, some of you are not too worried because your local store still has some of these items in stock and they also have them at their old prices. I can tell you first hand that my inventories are rapidly depleting of anything semi-automatic. My ammo supplies are going faster than I can count. People are buying and buying a ton.

So honestly, how much longer do you think the local store is going to retain their inventory? As soon as someone finds a local guy who has anything left, what does he do? He tells his buddies and they go down there and wipe them out.

I am predicting in about a month everything that gun shops have will be gone. This is going to force them to go to the wholesalers and find more. There is just one problem, the wholesalers are out of everything.

Sure the gun manufacturer's will try and ramp up production, but that is not that simple. For example Rock River Arms has always been on a large back order ever since I got into this business three years ago. People have always complained about their what was once 4-8 week wait on uppers. Then it became 6-12 weeks before the panic. Now, I have no idea what their wait time is. If they could have magically increased production, don't you think they would have done it?

The manufacturers do not want to spend millions of dollars to increase production and they won't. So in short, here soon you are going to see a true shortage. I already see it as a retailer and it will be only a mere matter of weeks before you on the consumer side see it too.

So what is a gun store that relies on their income as their primary source of income going to do? Are they going to continue to sell Glocks for $550 when they were only able to find two of them and they have 10 customers wanting it? The mom and pop store hasn't sold a Glock or been able to pay a bill for weeks or months. You know what they are going to do. They will raise their price.

What will anyone who realizes that the demand has far surpassed the supply do? They are going to raise their price.

However, that isn't what I would worry about if I were some of you. There will always be plenty of shops and businesses that won't raise their prices. However, will they have anything in stock? When they do get a handout here and there of 10 lower recievers and they are still selling them for $115, how long do you think they will last? What are you going to do when one person or another vendor buys them all right then and there?

So what I am warning you all of today is that I can see wholesaler inventories. There is nothing left. It is only a matter of time before retail inventories will be the same.

I have what I want. I am content right now save maybe that 20" tactical upper build I wanted to put that Trijicon TA31A4 on. I hope the rest of you are happy with what you have. If you are not, be ready, it is going to get ugly.

I thought I was going to get rich from this Obama craze. It isn't true. I realized it on election night when my middle man out of state called me and said that there was nothing anywhere in stock of anything. That is when it hit me. I can't get rich selling items I don't have. That is when I realized well too late, I wish I had stocked up even more than I already was.

And the reasons for this are insignificant. Never mind that Obama hasn't even taken office yet. Never mind that we have Heller on our side. Never mind that Congress is not by and far anti-gun and that they are still held responsible to gun loving voters. Never mind that Obama has large issues at hand.

The gun consumers of America are scared. They are buying guns like there is no tomorrow. Which causes people on the fence to get scared. Which has started a buying panic. Now people are buying guns just because other people are buying guns and they don't want to be left out.

The only hope left is that when there are no guns left to buy, the squimish will just quit and go home. Maybe people will give up and demand will come down. I am not willing to bet any money on that one.

So as one Calgunner to another, I am warning you. This thing is going to get much worse. How much worse I do not know. However, I do know here shortly, there will be nothing left and consumers like you and me who have been building up an arsenal will be just fine. I have nothing to worry about, I have mine.

Feel free to disagree with me. Hope deep down inside I am just making this long speech to drum up sales that I no longer receive from 90% of you since I stopped shipping. Time will tell.

It is true. Everyone that comes into my shop is lucky I even bother to open the door at all. I don't care about customers. I never have and never will. Basically you guys can all piss off and I don't need your business.

Is that what you wanted Marcelo5150? Does that make you feel better? Go ahead, lets hear it. Oh wait I will say it for you.

"Well I will never do business with your shop ever if that is your attitude."

Please, you would never have done business with me anyway and you obviously were looking for something to nag at me about.

I honestly am done being nice to people on Calguns. Those of you who want to get pissy by going through all of my threads and feel it is your duty to call me out for having poor customer service, get bent. Find something more constructive to do with your time other than worry about me and what I do so much that you do research across several threads to find the hidden meaning behind what I say.

For those of you who have done business with me, you know what we stand for. You know how you have been treated. For those of you who have driven to my shop over the last week or two to pick up uppers since we don't ship anymore, you know I appreciate you and you heard me tell it to your face and send you follow up e-mails saying the same thing. You know I liked your business when I opened up on Saturday when I just happened to be here and took the time to get you everything you wanted. Then when you lost your detent spring and needed another, I shipped you another one at no charge.

For those of you looking to do business with me, it shouldn't take much critical thinking skills to see that there are some haters around here who have never done business with me and will never do business with me. They like to nit pick my posts and try to figure out what I am really thinking so they can make their cries of never doing business with me again.

Then there are those who come on here and give first hand testimonial of what it was like to do business with us. You make a decision who you want to believe.

I am done kissing rear around here. Talk is cheap. We have superior customer service for those of you who come into our store. We are tired of answering to criticism from posers on the web who know nothing about us other than disagreeing with us on the basics of capitalism or whether someone is gouging someone. They want to translate my personal opinions on here about the state of the gun business into how we operate our store. That is fine. People who do this are too sensititve for my business tastes and I am glad to see them go.

Those of you who want a no nonsense gun shop that will treat you right and stocks quite a bit of AR15 items still, come see us. We will take care of you.

I was clear in what I stated. My goal is to either spend time with my family or make as much money as possible. I no longer care about making as much money as possible so my new goal is to spend time with my family. So I am not going to waste my nights away shipping products anymore. I am going to be open for the same customer service we have always extended and I am going to do so during our regular business hours. Some people respond with, "What about all of the money you were making?" Sorry, I would rather spend time with my family. Money is not the ruler of my life.

I do not have to serve the money master in order to serve you while you are in the shop. I can give my all to you when you are here and I do not have to necessarily sacrafice my time for money.

Do I still want to make money? You bet. Am I going to be a slave to this gun shop? No way. Not anymore.

But Weeeeeeesssss... I never bought anything from you, but - wait, crap there goes that - forgot about the Calguns lower. *grumble*

So you're arguing that since he said the equivalent of

"I'm doing A or doing B."

"I am not doing B"

and NOT

"I'm doing A or doing B."

"I am not doing B, but am instead doing A"

that the outome is somehow different? Am I following this correctly?
