Quoted from Yelobird:As I know you and your business professionalism I will guess you won’t share the “to remain nameless” self appointed distributors but That to me is good reason to create threads on this forum. To warn others new or old who is Not out for the customers best interest honestly. I suspected there were a few Clone distributors undercutting the ones Vested to support for ill gain. As I know you won’t share publicly, would you please PM me the name (s) of these companies so I can steer clean and advise friends to do the same? Thanks Joe!
I agree with Joe, and would not name names. It speaks to his professionalism. The problem is there are plenty of these unauthorized resellers, and these are what all manufactures are trying to avoid. They are everywhere, only one manufacturer I know has virtually eliminated the resellers.
I think you are right yelobird, people of Pinside should make the effort to support authorized dealers, or at minimum be aware. Just go to the manufacturers website and review the list of companies. Links listed in alphabetical order:
