I checked out the preview.

It's mostly used stuff from Bass Pro. Red Head brand. It looks like returns, as most is used.

A dozen electric trolling motors with the name scraped off, new motorcycle and ATV type helmets. Tons of what looks to be used boots. A bunch of used and new camo, waders, low end scopes, cheap azz knives.

A couple treestands, a couple cots, quite a few ice fishing tents (in good shape or new), some cheapo sleeping bags, a few kayaks and plastic job boat type boats, a bunch of toys, including for the Wii.

Thats what I remember.

Hi Guys
I also went down to the preview.I was not impressed.
They were offering to sell the merchandise for half price today.
They were using a Bass Pro catalogue to get the prices.
There is a 400-500 percent markup on retail.
IMO the asking price should have been around 10 to 15% of retail price.
Oh well,we tried!!
Hopefully none of the AO members will get burned.
Cheers
Rainbow

Made a litte detour and stopped by on my bike on my way home from school. Nothing really caught my eye.
