Sales Gimmicks
Someone correct me if my math is wrong? My math is not good?
Pyramyd air sells pellets as every forth tin is free of charge?
Price per tin of 22 kodiaks $8.79 each x 3 = $26.37 divided by 4 tins =
$6.59 per tin, provided you buy 3 tins an are specific 4th as same 22 kodiaks
Mac1 sells same kodiak @ $6.75 .16 cents more than Pyramyd per tin
AoA sells same Kodiak @ $6.95 .36 cents more than Pyramyd per tin
So is pyramydair’s 4th tin really free, no, now they are sold out and as usual you need them yesterday. would you wait or spend a little more $$$$$$ for fast service, free shipping, today with out paying for same day and waiting 3 days to be told waiting 3 days is same day shipping
Just my rant but I still want to know what you think 😆

what moses said in Exodus 2, 22 First time in my life to be totally lost and confused was downtown Na Ha city Okinawa Japan. couldn’t speak the language or read anything. This passage came to mind. After wandering for a bout 5 minuets. Realized to hail a Taxi and said “Air Base”, Rescued by a Taxi?

crowpopper said: since when is 30 fps co2 velocitys? :2
I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about I have no guns that shoot 30 fps co2 spring or pcp
fpe has nothing to do with accuracy? Has to do with what pellet the barrel shoots most accurately.
I am saying my condor on co2 shoots poly mags better than kodiaks.
there for the poly mag is a co2 pellet only for me?
Sam
since when is 30 fps co2 velocitys?
my gamo is getting 30 fpe and wont shoot the kodiaks for shit while the polymags are dead accurate
lol
i know most people get awsome accuracy with kodiaks and i was disapointed mine didnt as the poly mags are considerably greater cost
but hey gotta buy what ur gun shoots
and if it kodiaks buy em in bulk when u can get em
Ah, well that’s different.
PA is clever (or devious) with their marketing. They offer free shipping on orders of $150 or more, but you can’t take the 10% discount on top of it… it’s one or the other. Depending on the weight of the package, you might be better off with free shipping, or you might get a better deal by using the 10% off coupon and paying for the shipping.
It’s a balancing act to find the lowest price between competitors, and research and a calculator is usually a necessity.
I was wrong. yes I am wrong.
I was calculating with meeting the requirement of purchasing the quantity required for free shipping.
I didn’t calculate the 10 percent discount coupon or Veterans discount.
Buzzcat: You are correct prices calculated in cyberspace are worthless if the merchant can’t provide merchandise.
crowpopper: The Kodiaks out perform the Poly mags in my rifle. They don’t do the same damage, but they are the most accurate and hit harder. The Poly mags also have a huge POI difference.
I also have one and a half tins of poly mag in stock that I can’t justify detuneing my condor to shoot.
The poly mags are the most deadliest pellet available for co2 and when shot @ co2 velocities out perform the Kodiak. If and when I haft to use co2, then i’ll tune my condor for the Poly Mag and be justified to buy 4000 of em.
If I had made the better price calculations would have saved quite a bit, but I would still be waiting for those cyber space pellets 🙄
Thanks to all who responded, I see the light at the end of Pyramyd’s tunnel. Just not quit there yet. Best prices but still a advertising GIMMICK, no free pellets what so ever?
Sam 🙄
jeeeeeeeeee…i snivel about buying more than 3 tins at a time… 🙄 🙄 🙄
Till now…….
Bwahahahahahahaha…
I’m going to order 50,000 of them or whatever they happen to have in stock so they run out!!!
JK… 🙂
Don’t ya just love ‘gimmicks’ to get u to buy stuff.
i have a quick soulution
dont shoot kodiaks
lol
i shoot polymags
always seem to be in stock when i need em
Price per tin of 22 kodiaks $8.79 each x 3 = $26.37 divided by 4 tins =
$6.59 per tin, provided you buy 3 tins an are specific 4th as same 22 kodiaks
Your math is right, but you forgot about the standard 10% off coupon.
10% of $26.37 = $2.63. Divided among the four tins, that’s another 65 cents off of each, so your net is $5.94 per tin.
But the shipping charge needs to be factored in as well.
Of course, it doesn’t make any difference when they never have the things in stock.
I got tired of waiting, i ordered from r&l airguns, fast, excellent service. I’ll pay three more bucks to get what i want without waiting a month. Not too pleased with PA these days, even though i know it’s thier suppliers fault, and those 4000 count order assholes out there. 😆 😆
i just bought 4000 22 kodiaks pellets from Mac1, had them in stock, free shipping and will be here monday 😎
Sam
Your math is good.
Why are they (PA) sold out? cause they have the best price!!! Plan in advance and buy LARGE quantities. I don’t understand why someone will pay $1,000 for a Air Gun and only buy a few tins of pellets at a time knowing their going to be gone in a couple months, makes no since.
It’s people that buy 4000 pellets at a time that make the them run out so fast!!! 😆
Because after spending 1000.00 to 2000.00 for a damed bb gun, your too damed broke to buy a pallet of pellets! 😥 😆
