David, You forgot the parts about not having any knowledge of the item or being able/willing to go out on a limb to answer any technical questions like "does this widget fit my van, which has a modified doodad?" I know from experience that Ron will. Oh, yeah. Ron will have to get a whole lot ruder and less personable. Karl Wolz Definitely. He'll have to at least double his shipping time, stop answering the phone, and start backordering stuff without telling me before he can match the service I've gotten from big online vendors. ;) |
