Thius company has been doing this in the galleria for about 20 years, completely legit. They always pay.

Plaza Research Houston has a research study coming up that you may be interested in attending or referring someone who fits the criteria. After looking over our requirements below (and if you fit into the them!), EMAIL us at houston@plazaresearch.com with your answers. Please note that we will be responding on a first come, first served basis until the study is full. Please note that we may or may not call you back based on your answers.

Who hired this Plaza Research group to conduct the survey? The VPC/Brady Bunch??

$100 seems tempting but at the risk of generating an owners gun registration list, thanks but no thanks.

And I am unanimous in my decision.

If they ARE being sponsored by Brady, then it sounds like a great opportunity to take their $100 and go buy some more ammo, then send them a Thank You note for helping fund your ammo cache !! :mrgreen:

Sounds like an easy hundred bucks for those who want to participate. My info and free time are worth more though.

That's nearly a case of 5.45x39 for me. And Plaza has probably done tens of thousands in person surveys. My last one was from HP about 10 years ago. 75 bucks cash for 15 minutes. My first one, 20 years ago, was 3 dollars walking by in the mall to taste some apple juice and simply score it from 1 to 10. They are probably hired by winchester or the like, who is launching a new branding campaign, and wants opinions on the packaging, logos, box, etc. I swear some people need to adjust their foil hats.

There is quite a bit of personal info they are asking for. AND why is it limited to MALES? I think maybe I will contact them as a matter of Woman's Lib!!!! :rules:

Is the facility posted with a 30.06 sign? If not, it might be a good opportunity if you don't celebrate Lá Fhéile Pádraig.

They have surveys I've seen go as high as 400 bucks for a one hour phone interview. The last one was looking for a CFO at hospitals. The secret to getting in is being in the middle. Not too low, not too high. I listed several guns I own, and popular calibers, and nothing more. Frankly, if the ammo isnt available at wallymart, its not of interest to them
