[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Am I the only one thats not too happy Cabela's is coming to Utah? If the retail store is anything like the Bass Pro Shop in Las Vegas, the retail store will have no where near the entire selection of the catalogs. That means you most likely will have to order a non stocked item from catalog sales and along with shipping you'll have to pay the sales tax as well. Also there will be no deals when a free shipping offer comes along because of the sales tax.[/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I purchased a 25 hp Nissan outboard from Cabela's at the lowest price I could find anywhere and also got free shipping to boot. The motor was aprox $2000. After the sales tax is applied you can add another 6.5% or $130! OUCH![/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Yes the "Big Show" retail store will be cool with all it's exhibits but that doesn't impress me more than once. What impresses me is buy great gear from a great company. The shipping on most things I'd buy at Cabela's about equals the sales tax so it was pretty close to a wash but now mandatory sales tax will be applied to all Cabela's purchases whether they are on-line ordered or bought from the retail store. So now for me, I have to drive 2 hours and hope the retail store has what I need so I'll only have to pay the sales tax. Heaven forbid that I'll need to order it from the catalog and get double whammied.[/size][/black][/font]
