MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
My order of the 3 Elkton pop up houses shipped!
I just learned about this deal off of another site so I thought that I would pass it along. goicefish.com currently has 3 packs of tungsten jigs on sale for $0.99 a piece with free shipping. There are two different sizes and you can order up to 3 of each different size at this price. I can't comment on the quality of them but I figure for the $3.96 that I spent for 12 tungsten jigs it is worth the risk. They are about half way down on page 3 under the accessories tab follow the link below.http://goicefish.com/accessories-3/?sort=featured&page=3
Those Elkton Portable Pop-up 3 Person Ice Shelter Fishing Tent are back up on Amazon for $13.88 if anybody want to try their luck with it. So far my order from the other day is still being processed. $13.88Betty E BattleJust Launched (Seller Profile)
First, to you fellows who ordered the Elkton: I wish you the best of luck, but the Clam XL 2000 hub I ordered for $5.86 a couple of months ago said it shipped as well. It didn't. I even got an email from Amazon asking me to review the item after they had cancelled the sale and I had gotten my money back. Hate to be a Debbie Downer guys, but don't hold your breath on getting these hubs, but I'm still crossing my fingers for you. Secondly, I ordered and recently received the BroCraft Ice Anchor Drill Adapter from Amazon for $10.99. It's very similar to the Eskimo steel one, but instead of steel, it's a heavy duty, very high quality machined aluminum tool. In other words, it's really, really nice for the price. It's $8 off it's retail of $18.99. I was surprised at how stout it was. https://www.amazon.com/BroCraft-Anchor-Drill-Adapter-Auger/dp/B01MAU0SH8/ref=pd_ybh_a_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BF86Y6BMTQGW294QHWZD I think the icefishingdeals guy posted the deal a week or so ago, so this post is just in case your happened to miss it there.DN
now a different seller (new) and for 14.95 shipped
I have another update for you. Just got off the phone with Ebay and with Amazon and learned some things that I thought I would share:1. If you buy an item on Ebay, Ebay provides "protection" to you for the amount of the item and any shipping costs. So, let's say you order an item and never receive it. Ebay will back you up on the item cost and shipping cost but NOT sales tax. In my case, the seller charged sales tax on my item in the amount of $1.13 knowing full well they would not deliver the item to me and knowing full well there was no Ebay policy in place that required them to refund the sales tax. It was only $1.13 for me but that is straight "profit" for them. Have a sweatshop full of people making up false auctions for items you don't have and certainly won't ever ship and now you are making money just by setting up fake auctions. I spent 20 minutes on the phone with Ebay trying to get my $1.13 back (it is the principal of it for me...) and can absolutely confirm for you that Ebay provides you no protection on any "sales tax" you pay a seller. To me, this is a loophole in their system and you have some malicious sellers out there starting to exploit this.2. If you think Ebay is bad, Amazon provides you with even less protection. After I hung up with Ebay, I called Amazon. If you buy an item from Amazon from a 3rd party, it is completely up to the 3rd party to provide you a refund. Amazon will pursue a "case" for you, but their only final recourse is to kick the seller off Amazon. YIKES. So, a seller could list 50 items for $10 each and collect $500 in payments from buyers on items they don't have in inventory and don't ever plan to deliver to they buyer. The buyer contacts Amazon indicating they never got their item. Amazon then contacts the seller and starts a "case". The seller may not ever respond. You as the buyer are out your $10 and the seller gets kicked off Amazon. Well, guess what, the next day the seller sets up shop with a new seller ID. They have $500 in their pocket and are back on Amazon to do this again and again.The moral of the story is before you place that order on a 3rd party sale on Amazon for a "too good to be true" price, be really, really careful and know that there is a decent chance that you will be out that money. I will be very hesitant to buy from 3rd parties on Amazon from this point forward. If you don't believe me, contact Amazon yourself. I just got off the phone with them. I learned a lot in the last 45 minutes and will be much more cautious when I see these "too good to be true" items for sale on Ebay and Amazon.
Got the striker ice bag off of dicks for 79.99. the bag is awesome.
I wonder if the "fake" elkton shelters were some attempt to collect your credit card/amazon account info for abuse, why else would you post an item for sale you know you are going to cancel the sale on?
The two day prime shipping is a joke any more. All it is now is free shipping. It'll be here when it gets here.
