When you update, be sure to post the running total of money out of pocket, even if it's a loan to the law firm.

Well today was the deadline and nothing since that letter my attorney got. So I'll be in next week talking with him for the next steps. I already contacted Troy to ask about setting up a deposition through the video conference. Which would be cheaper than my attorney flying out there for it.

Update. Finally made it in to speak with my attorney today. I am paying for the filing fee's and the rest he is doing on contingency. He will be filing next week. Dick's has 20 days to respond to the filing. He said they'll probably counter file a general denial to our filing in the court and serving them. Once filed we will be putting in a subpoena for business communications between Dick's and Troy. As well as taking depositions from each company. After 20 days for filing time, there will be a 50 day discovery time frame before a court date can take place. The court date will be requested once Dick's has filed their counter to our litigation and denial to the court. My lawyer says right now the waiting period is a bit long. He says he just went into court this week for a another small case like mine and the date was 9 months out from when he requested it.
So more waiting I suppose. Litigation takes a long ass time. But the process for it has been filed. Dick's has a chance up until the court date to actual mediate and settle. So resolution may come sooner.

Finally an update to make.
My lawyer just called and told me that Dick's is finally wanting to settle to my original demand letter. So I get to keep the original refund check, my original asking damages from the letter, and all attorney fees paid. So I will get back my retainers as well. Not sure when it will all be finalized, but it doesn't look like it will going to a court room at least. Victory for the little guy consumer this time.
Right now typing this while waiting for ironman to start.

They should have taken you to court and made you look like the retard you are. Victory for the little guy consumer my ass. You exhibit all that is wrong with "consumers". Some bean-counter made the call is all...you won nothing.

This. It's retarded shits like the OP that drive up prices for everyone else. Sigh. Their lawyer should have just walked up to him and slapped him upside the head for being a leech

They did not turn over an item he purchased that they had in his possession for political reasons. That is against the law, you can't do that.

On the contrary, taking him to court meant they had everything to lose should things not go their way. It would have cost them a lot more to litigate, and even more should they fail in their litigation (in more than just damages).
I'm still on the fence about the whole thing. But I've come around to it, and HumblePie gets the benefit of the doubt here given the circumstances of his "purchase".
Shake the haters, humblepie. Had this happened to any one of these chooches in this thread raging at you, they probably would have just taken it up the dooper and asked for more.
Unless you work for Dick's Sporting Goods, you do not know what their reasons were. They refunded his money to him as well so nothing they did was against the law.
No...people of sound mind (of which the OP doesn't seem to be in possession of), would have taken their FULL refund they received from Dick's and went somewhere else.
OP is the exact sort of person that shouldn't be owning a gun.
