??? What's this?


They have this kiosk by the stairs and they always badger you to sign up for a trip or some bullcrap. I never listen to the presentation. One does not simply have time for that.


you talking about the credit card sign up?

No, credit card signup people walk around the store. They have a kiosk by the stairs on the right side of the store. Maybe called Outdoor traveler or something like that?

Here are a couple links. It looks like they try to get you to go somewhere to listen to a time share spill.

I'll just tell em I'm not a good credit risk because at my age I might keel over and die any time before I get the bill paid off.

Of the two, I have found that Cabela's usually has better sales/clearance prices. With BPS, unless it is advertised, it is full price. Conversely, I have made quite a number of impulse buys at Cabelas after seeing something marked >50% off. e.g. Sahara reel for $25, fly rod/reel for $150 (down from $330), always a good bit of tackle on clearance for next to nothing. . . and that isn't even counting what they have upstairs in the bargain section.

If you add Academy to the mix, then it would win hands down. They usually have what I need, are a lot closer to the house, and usually always have the best prices.

Academy must be strictly Louisiana based? I'd never heard of Academy before until I started lurking here. We sure don't have one anywhere near here.

Thanks for that link, Deacon AND Wickowick. I see there are none in Virginia and the closest Academy to me is in Knoxville, Tenn.

I agree with you, but it will never happen, we're SOL.

I have no idea why they did that or what's going on there. GC is going up in front of Sutherlands. 1 minute from my office
