Happy Birthday!

happy b-day!

thank you all for your wishes and sexy pics...ryan, i cant believe you stood there in your undies for ice cream. anyway, i think im having a midlife crisis or something cause im ready to kill everyone who comes into my shop...then again it could be the little pricks trying to get me to match ebay pricing even though ill install it cheaper if they buy it from me, they spend about the same, i get a sale but they still want the product for less even though the end result is the same money and they dont have to worry about warranty.....i hate the internet.

The drift Ive gotten from shops around here is "This is our price". All the shops are aware you can hop on the internet and buy it cheaper. But these people are at your shop for a reason. Either they dont know how to install it or arent sure its worth a damn.

You need a sign that says "The price is the price"... lol

Im with you though on people window shopping and tire kicking. Theres a whole lot of buyers out there with no money... Heck im doing stuff on barter terms now... Dont know if you have ever considered that on services aspect...

Sounds like you need another vacation like last years cabin retreat.

easy fix, put up a sign that states EBAY is an auction site, not a legitimate shop for car audio.


nuff said.

Happy Birthday Terry!!!

I had a BIG sign that said that we DO NOT compete with online auction/ unauthorized dealer prices and with us you get a warranty on parts and labor so please don't ask.

Dude this is just creepy. Most of the day today I have been dealing with something on these same lines.

I got some quipment off a dude for a good price, pair of JL 10's and an older Kenwood amp. Got it all cheap enough that I can resell it and make me some money.....

Well friend of mine says how much you take for the 10's and amp, I say xxx.xx then he starts lowballin me, (not negotiating low ballin). I was already sellin it to him for what I had in it. Makin a federal case about wanting to hear the subs, knowing they do work, I dont know just pissd me off. Ahh well, sorry to hear about the little pricks your way terry. They want Internet prices they need to go to the internet, and take what comes with it....nothing.

i think we need to do away with the internet and obama...thatd solve about 50% of our issues right there.

I think the internet should go back to it's base use of networking and we get rid of 50% of the government
