double standard

[spamanglenn]

ray and glen are doing no favours to themselves by getting heated under the collars....

time will tell and if their prices are great loyality will prevail.

personally i would think twice about someone who seems cranky because i want a friendly customer orientated approach.

if they are friendly i,m more inclined to purchase from them..

I,m not getting heated under the collar,i just asked for some consistency,not preference,just consistency,read the title of the thread. People are welcome to advertise their wares it just seems low brow when the very SAME product is encouraged to be sold against each vendor like a fish market auction.If this forum wants reputable suppliers contributing to the site, encouraging this practice will only see them dissappear,some already have because of this very reason.The powers at be on this forum need to decide is this a group buy,the cheapest prices always wins,pit vendors against each other forum? Or is it a social forum that has contributing vendors who can build a reputation for doing their best for the club on price and support.I would like to know is it one or the other?A foot in each camp gives a vote of no confidence to those who actually try and do their best for club members.I just want to be very clear on the ground rules here.No one HAS to buy anything from any vendor and is free to shop around if they find a cheaper price, a vendor would be most interested in where, so he can drive a harder bargain with his supplies to try and match it, or to help him to decide the product is too widely sold to be viable to sell.
