I ordered a new Haro VGF V4 and when it got here i noticed it was stripped (bottom bracket). Does anyone know how much it would cost to get rethreaded. What has to be done in order for it to be rethreaded.

If it is new don't get it re-threaded, send it back and get a new one. It is pretty hard to strip out the BB threads.But, if it has been crossthreaded, a bike shop could "realign" the threads with a BB tap $10-20. This is only if they are not in to bad a shape.
