Final Friday at the San Rafael Store

San Rafael Store Closing Saturday, January 28 @ 4 pm
FINAL DAYS – LOWER PRICES – ALL FIXTURES FOR SALE

We are down to the final days of our Store Closing Sale –
we will stop selling product in our 902 3rd Street location at
4 pm on Saturday, January 28.

We have spent the last day going through our attic, bringing
down fixtures and racks, putting them out on the sales floor
and pricing them. They are now priced and available for purchase.
(Please note – some items may require a pickup after Saturday).
All fixture sales are cash only, with all items sold “as-is”
and all sales are final.

We have rod racks, clothing displays, free standing slatwall
fixtures, glass display cases, folding chairs, boxes of peg
hooks for pegboard and slatwall, book cases, a-frames, lighting
fixtures and much more. Obviously, we have fly displays as well,
so if you bought a ton of flies from us and need a way to display them,
we can set you up.

In terms of merchandise left in stock:

All remaining inventory is AT LEAST 50% OFF the original price.
Many items are marked down even further. We are also selling off
the opened spools of bulk fishing line at significant discount. There's no delicate way to put this - we need to sell everything to the walls, so it's time to stock up!

All freshwater flies are now 50 cents each. Quality flies simply aren't sold that cheaply. Good patterns and prime sizes are available.

All books are now 70% OFF – even the new titles!

We will continue to sell CA Fishing Licenses (sorry - regular price on those!)
until through Saturday - bring in your last year's fishing license (or photo ID)
and we'll get you squared away.

So - please come on down now and take advantage the last few days.

Once again, thank you all for your patronage and support over the years.

Words cannot express how much we have enjoyed meeting you.

All the best,

Jim

Friday Sale Update

First of all, let me thank you again for the outpouring of stories, recollections and genuine emotions which everyone has shared about Western Sport Shop. We were all customers before ever getting involved with the business, and it's been interesting and heartwarming to hear from everyone.

At this point, we are still actively trying to reduce our inventory, and all of the staff members have been going through boxes and drawers to find forgotten parts, inventory and other gear. We've fattened up the sale tables and dusted off some "demo" items. And, as you might expect, sharpened up our pencils a bit in anticipation of the last full weekend of the sale.

Starting right now -

All remaining fly rods in stock are 50% OFF the original price. We also have some extremely limited demo and "found" inventory which is even a better deal.

All remaining fly lines in stock are now 50% OFF the original price.

All Tying Material and Fly Tying Hooks are now 50% OFF the original price. We've dug out a lot of other stuff in old packaging which even more attractively priced. Now is the time to stock up if you are planning on doing some fly tying this winter!

All USED BOOKS are now 70% OFF our selling price. Yes, that is correct - "Seventy"! Bring a Big BAG!

All other merchandise is at least 40% off the original price (except firearms).

We will continue to sell CA Fishing Licenses (sorry - regular price on those!) until January 25th - bring in your last year's fishing license (or photo ID) and we'll get you squared away.

IF you want to take advantage of our SUPER LOW prices on all remaining shotguns (rifles are gone!), you may purchase the firearm from us, but will have to fill out state and federally mandated paperwork at another shop. We are currently working to finalize an agreement for this.

Oh... speaking of rifles: anyone have a 7mm-08, 7mm Winchester Short Mag or .300 Remington ULTRA Mag caliber rifle? We ended up with excess ammunition in those two calibers, and will sell all remaining ammo at 60% off the regular price.

So - please come on down this weekend and take advantage of what could be the last few days.

Store Closing Sale Update - 40% OFF General Merchandise!

San Rafael Store Closing
General Stock Items* 40% OFF!
Email List Advance Announcement

*40% Off excludes Firearms and some Ammunition

==============================


As we posted earlier, we have been attempting to find a new owner for the
Western Sport Shop, a search which has remained unsuccessful. Rather
than continue operating, we will be closing Western Sport Shop by the
end of January, 2012.

While we are still hopeful that a buyer may still be found, we are taking
immediate steps to drastically reduce our inventory. All items
in all departments (except for firearms and some ammunition)
will be discounted 40% off the original price. Over the past few days,
we’ve also gone through our back room inventory and have marked selected items
down significantly below our cost – there are savings of up to 50 – 80% off of the original
prices - look for the sale tables and highlighted displays.

All sales are final and all items are sold “as-is”.

A few of the specific bargains include:
ALL FRESHWATER FLIES – BUCK-A-BUG!
ALL SALTWATER FLIES – HALF OFF!
ALL REMAINING CLOTHING - AT LEAST HALF OFF!
ALL CASTAIC Swim Baits –HALF OFF!
ALL APEX LURES, OCEAN SALMON LURES & RIGS – HALF OFF!
ALL BRAID BELTS & GLOVES – HALF OFF!
ALL NEW BOOKS – 40% OFF the Regular Price!
ALL USED BOOKS – HALF OFF the Used Price!

ALL FIREARMS ARE ON SALE - Benelli VINCI Shotguns are BELOW OUR COST!
Look for the “HOT LIST” of Sale Rifles and shotguns in the gun department.

Please feel free to forward this to your fishing, fly fishing and hunting
partners who might be interested.

If you have outstanding credit balances or gift certificates, this is
a great time to take advantage of your increased buying power!

We will continue to sell California Hunting and Fishing Licenses until
at least January 25th.

We will be starting to sell fixtures and displays after January 18,
2012. If you are interested in displays, please call 415-226-9770 and
leave your name and phone number to be contacted.
