     AFTER SEARCHING THE SITE, AND LOOKING IN THE "MEMBER STORE", I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANY NAFC PRODUCTS. IE LOGO WEAR, BOOKS OR ANYTHING. IT IS VERY SURPRISING THAT THE STORE ONLY HAS A ROD CASE, AND IS SOLD OUT. IT WOULD SEEM THAT IT WOULD BE MORE COST AFFECTIVE FOR THE CLUB TO OFFER ITEMS ONLINE. IT HAS BEEN SOME TIME SINCE GETTING ANYTHING IN THE MAIL, BUT, IT SEEMS YOU WOULD GET BETTER RESPONSE, IE SALES, IF YOU HAD AN IT PERSON ADD AN ACTUAL "STORE " TO THE SITE.

    The selection they offer on the so called "member store" is worse then dissapointing. We have tried for a long time to get the store, and then they feed us this insult. How difficult can it be to post the merchandise they offer on occasion on a web-site? It's made so easy nower days that even a teenager can do it.

    I posted this before :

    I have asked member services this on numerous occasions.  I found it odd that most of the reps I spoke with thought that they already did offer NAFC items in the member store. The last time I spoke to someone they told me they would send me a foldout that has, 4 different hats ( All diferent logos by the way), 4 shirts, A leather belt, a embossed wallet and a fleece jacket w/insignia.  This comes with a $10 off member appreciation coupon. You can even  buy 2 hats and save $2 on each one.  This is usually offered to all new members.  I agree with you that they would definitley sell more of these items if they were offered online, and could expand a little to other items.  BUT,      they don't seem very interested in pushing their own merchandise, but probably derive more income pushing advertisers merchandise instead.  Before the new BB came up, the Club posted something in the temporary BB saying that a member store with such items was in the works.     Still waiting on that one.  Throughout the year, some members take it on their own to get together to purchase things, so keep an eye out.  Or call the club and ask for the foldout with the NAFC hats, shirts, fleeces, etc.....  This way you don't have to rely on E-Bay for club products.  You can do what I do and every time you call about something, mention your concerns.  Who knows, maybe the right person will be listening.  Good luck!

     I just was entering the "click and win" contest and at the bottom was a link to the "club visa" that says, earn points towards club merchindise. How would you be able to use the points if you can't find the merchindise?

     Apprently, we are not being heard by the club, go figure that out. They must only care about our dues. Maybe we have to keep complaining often enough and long enough until the IT department spends a few minutes setting up a link?

    i have to agree with you on this one
    they could easily  add a order form to the magazine too 

    they  send a lot of member only mail offers  but  one would think  they could save a lot of money if they did that online .

    like there books  and video  and what not . i wounder if one called and asked for a catalog if they would have one .  i know when a became a lifer  they sent something out with all the club merchandise that you could order.  note books, Coffey cups , check book cover, hats jackets
    the list goes on  perhaps they don't do that anymore.

    TRT your right on the money with that. It would be very easy to make NAFC online catalog store.It would be a major benifit to the club.The one benifit would be to quit wasting paper and funds on mail outs.The funds saved and earned could expand merchandise,promo`s and gifts to life members.

    There is no reason at all they couldn't list club merchandise to sell in the store. Hats, shirts, jackets, decals, books and all. All that's listed in the store is stuff like photo art, naked bait, haber vision and other junk. Where is the NAFC stuff? That's what I want to see. I don't want to have to go up to ebay to purchase club stuff. That's plain STUPID. Come on Editors, get what we want listed in OUR CLUB STORE.
