I was in need of some San Francisco 49er gear and wanted to check out Dick's sporting goods to see…read morewhat they had to offer. Right when you walk in, they had a big section of 49er apparel and accessories. I really loved the selection of hats they had. I was hoping they would have more offerings of women's apparel, but the selection they had was small. There was a 49er top with red sequence all over it. It was beautiful but they only had two of them and neither were my size. The price for the top was $75, which I thought was a bit expensive. I decided on two 49er hats for myself and my husband. I headed to the checkout and was immediately helped. I asked to young lady at the checkout if they had more offerings for the 49er gear. She directed me to the back of the store where she said there were more items. I paid for my hats and then went to the back of the store where she suggested. There was a section there, as she claimed, but it was all football jerseys priced at $130 and above. I was happy with the purchase of the hats and left the store. It might be better to check online first before going to the store to find 49er gear for women.

We were specially looking for spiked shoes since my sister started track and field. The worker was so attentive and knowledgeable in his recommendation. I managed to find a new pair of Hokas! It was a great time to compare Hokas and on cloud shoes. The store is huge with so much sports ware from winter gear, rackets, and so much more. It was a great shopping experience!

I found Charlie Rose Baseball on Yelp called them on Tuesday and Jake explained the repair and said if we can bring in the glove asap, he'll make it a priority repair. Repair $50, and $10 additional for 1 hr rush. Definitely worth $60, a truly 5 star Yelp business. We will be back for some baseball gear all thanks to Jake's awesome customer service. Please give CRB some baseball love.

I used to enjoy shopping at Bass Pro Shops, but my experience with the Bluegreen Vacations…read morerepresentatives inside the store has completely changed my opinion. They approached me and pressured me into listening to their sales pitch, and it felt like "no" was never an acceptable answer. The entire interaction was uncomfortable and extremely pushy. After signing up, I did more research and realized it wasn't a good investment for me, so I canceled months ago. Unfortunately, the unwanted contact hasn't stopped. I continue to receive spam calls, and when I tell them I'm not interested, they often end the call abruptly only to call again a few days later. It's become incredibly frustrating. Bass Pro Shops should reconsider allowing this kind of aggressive sales tactic inside their stores. Customers come to shop, not to feel pressured into vacation ownership presentations or deal with persistent calls long after they've declined. Because of this experience, I no longer plan to shop at Bass Pro Shops. It's disappointing that one partnership has negatively affected what used to be an enjoyable place to visit.

I had previously gone down the street to Dick's, and pretty much left after 10 minutes because I needed help and there was no body around. At Big 5 I was immediately greeted, and a salesperson helped me find the right gear. When I went to check out, the manager printed some coupons for me to use and pass out to my little league. As far as pricing goes, Big 5 had a greater range of price points for baseball gear. I also found this to be true for soccer gear as well.

Stopped in for the first time earlier today on the recommendation of another well-respected local…read moregun shop for where to sell used firearms. They do cash trade-ins day-of-sale unlike most gun shops in the area that only do consignment. They take the time to properly appraise what you bring in, make sure it's legal for sale in California and make sure all the required paperwork is filled out properly. Their prices are generally fair market value from what I've seen considering it's a cash-day-of trade-in. You'll be waiting for maybe an hour at most here to get paid for selling your stuff instead of the weeks that you would with a consignment sale or what passes for a private-party transaction in CA. Could you potentially get more selling privately or putting your stuff on consignment and waiting for it to move instead? Maybe, but their way of doing things avoids a lot of the multiple trips and waiting time that comes with doing either of those other two options instead in California. I would definitely recommend coming here if you have guns you need to sell urgently or if you would just rather not deal with selling on consignment or arranging a private-party sale yourself.

Another worker came by and asked other people if they needed help. I had to flag him down to get help. I basically did research using Gemini about what to buy as no one wanted to help. So I had the guy just get me the boots I picked with Gemini in two sizes. Then I had to get him to help me decide which of the two sizes to pick and he seemed reluctant to help. I finally got him to check where my toe was in the boot and advise me. I was very tempted to just buy them online more cheaply but was nice and gave them my business. I let folks there know I wasn't getting good customer support but no one did anything about it. I asked for a bag when I checked out and they said they don't give bags anymore. I was also going to get hiking socks from them but decided to get those online because my generosity in buying from them just extends so far.
