Gateway Basket RANT

Post by Swede »

Can anyone tell me why Gateway makes it so hard to find/buy their products? I guess it is just because they don't retail directly but their website blows. For over two years now I've been wanting a "Sharpshooter" basket which I was told by Dave that they made. Played on a couple in the Ozarks even. No luck. Today I find out they sell them. Yeah, right. Do you have to write them a friggin letter? Google will get you to their website where they have a picture with no specs and certainly no price. No place to buy one. Nobody else makes a basket like this. I would think a business would use that to their advantage instead of sitting on it like a secret.

Disc golf sales: You're doing it wrong.

I will delete this after you all make fun me :|

Agreed on their website. I was pricing that same basket and then found out their website was anything but retail.

I dunno if they make it anymore. I found Titan made by gateway which looks like a pretty good basket. Check it out. http://gottagogottathrow.com/discgolf/g ... -2628.html

Rusco should be able to get you what ever you need from Dave. That or just call Dave, tell him yer sorry for telling him he can't make TD decisions in mid-round and ask him to send you a sharpshooter. If yer on a budget, I have a paulson target that will improve yer putting lines fuhshow. Why am I posting this when we talk in person or on the phone all the time? Oh yeah, I have an IPOD TouchMe and a huge 7&7 on eyeeeeece!

Thanks for trying to help, y'all. But I think I just wanted to rant. Decided I'm not going out of my way to get Gateway my money. Yeah, I'm that hard-headed.

Thanks, Corey, I put that in my journal. I will repeat it silently before each putt.
