Maine Guide Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 I hate KTP. If you have a MA LTC, they treat you like trash in the gun room. Meanwhile, local crackheads with a Maine DL are treated much better. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Offer not valid on the purchase of Sale items" is fine, except when practically everything in the store happens to be 5% off the same exact week that they flood the local newspapers with 15 and 20% off coupons. When the coupons expire, the 5% sale suddenly comes to an end. I'm sure it's just coincidence. The place epitomizes the term "tourist trap" and is even located in an area most locals know to avoid.

NHAngler Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) So as long as the little KTP moose sweatshirt that is in the bin up front is not on sale, you can use the coupon on that. …for the pink ones… …on a Tuesday…. …morning… if you were the first 100 in line… and the sun is out. I have slowed from shopping there as the ability to get a deal has disappeared. I sold a pistol to them during the pandemic and got $550 in store credit, hoping for a deal on a OT peddle kayak. It took me over two years to use it up as they have not had any decent deals. No kayak from them but I now have a nice pink sweatshirt with a moose on it and some amazing fudge. Bass pro is 10 minutes from me. Not much better but if you pay attention, you can save a little. Staff at the gun counters are about equal to KTP. Either some older guy with a tude and lots of pinions or a younger guy that does not know the difference between a Glock 19 and nerf gun. I try to never pay retail for any toy or recreational items. So these things matter to me. KTP was much better 10+ years ago. Edited February 7, 2023 by NHAngler Roccus7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the companies are those who forced the retail and online stores to sale at list price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccus7 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) NEVER seen Penn limited, and there is no "Big Game Reel" company so why try to defend them? Kind of like George Santos in terms of their "SALE" announcement. Anytime KTP advertises a sale, the fine print takes a magnifying glass to read through. KTP uses sales to increase traffic in the store and online, and then disappoint folks, at least folks who haven't been to this rodeo before... I just got an email from "Backcountry" and they have 127 Patagonia items on sale, but don't try to get any discount for Patagonia at KTP...

MartyK Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 I'll say it again. The place is a big tourist trap, probably operating just within the borders of consumer legality, but way outside of anything resembling decent customer service. I'll take local shops for bait and tackle, and LL Bean for clothing in a heartbeat. Roccus7 1 Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack26 Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 I’ve always found them very expensive. They do have a nice selection of clothing, but it comes with a pricetag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles Dare Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 The Penn exclusion must be fairly new. Pretty sure I bought my Torque there with a % off discount promo. I'll have mine on the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAW Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 As most all have said, too many exceptions to read all. I understand there can never be a total store sale, but when wife used to come along for the clothing end more than half had no discounts. I found it to be a snagging opportunity for them to get you in. How many guys would read all the exclusions and make sure not to look at that stuff. For my fly gear Eldredge has or will get you anything and at least other prices. All my Simms, boots, waders, jackets, gloves many times over Jim was great. Nice to spend local and they have funded many spring events and did the January freeze out at Rogers Pond and cooked all morning with Scott rod rep. Giving away a rod and giving us a chance to try all the newest. Those things are what I appreciate. srm413 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
