Supporting vendors who pay for advertising here and support this forum should be a given but the most important support we can give is respect for them a business people. if the owner or mderator thinks they are a bad vendor then they would probably take them off the list of vendors.
There are alot of times when vendors sell for less because of their situation, years in the business, overhead, buying power and several other factors. Alot of vendors are starting a business, and they have to price and try to be as fair as possible and still grow a business. that is a tough road to tread on.
if you want to undercut a vendor, then start a business of your own and see how hard it is to make it these days as a small businessman. you may change your tune on how vendors price. Vendors prices are where they feel they need to be to make a living, give great customer service and develop their business. you have the right to go elsewhere, do it and just keep it to yourself.
the internet is you playground for research, if you dont like vendors prices but like the product, then look on your own but to flail them here leads to no means. if a person has a bad experience with a vendor here, they usually post it but to me they should do all they can to resolve it in private before posting or you can pm the guy and warn him.
the people that order from Mike, as one of our supporting vendors, usually have a good or great experience and Mike busts his butt for his customers. a sign of a good business person. i find no fault with his business acumen and service.
My Dad told me this along time ago when i was growing up. "Great service to those you work for or sell to will lead to you having a great reputation and great business. Always call back if you say you will and under promise and over deliver".
I live by those words. my ebay rating is 100%. ive been there since 97 but under this name since 11-00. the first name got messed up and could not log on anymore. communication with your customers is one of the signs you are on the ball.
pms are a wonderful thing, if u have a beef w a vendor, have enough respect for Him and the rest of us to take it outside the forum.
