Title: Do we get more gullible as we get older

I swear I think I am.

I saw an ad for carbon fiber arrows for $24.00 a dozen the other day. I looked at the site and it was pretty crappy. Very little information but turns out they were $42.00 a dozen. Still an unheard of price and I can't build them for that.

I emailed them and then talked to them on the phone knowing good and well it was a scam. I ordered 2 dozen.

They're going back tomorrow. Every one looks like this or worse.

Yeah...my hands are dirty. I was in the garden when they came. :-[

The ole saying...."if it sounds to good to be true..."

I know it's hard to pass up a good buy online. Bad thing we can't inspect the items.
Sometimes we roll the dice,...but I really try not too. d*

I hope you can recoup your monies back. Good luck.
