Why bother reading when you can just post the first thing that pops into your head....

John, I don't want any money back, or anything free. I would like the case your wife designed, and to pay you the balance when it's done. I know I will enjoy it. As I stated before, I FB'd you at JB Custom Cases page, per your request.

He was referring to my story, PoolSleuth (remember that?).
But, I don't really count it as waiting 6 years. I waited about two years and then called it a day.
Maniac made a statement, I asked a question. Now I wait for the reply?
Who been waiting 6 years?
Our shop supports and is run by my extended family in China. Also it is still the most economical way for us to able able to pour lots of shop hours into each case and still be profitable at relatively low cost to consumers. But having just purchased a larger facility in okc i do plan to start trying to make some cases in OKC. They will probably be partially made in China and completed here and i plan to see what options there are to trap into local development funds so as to have some extra resources to fund the training of my staff.
Always remember that the people on the ground are fundamentally the same all over the Earth. Punishing them for what their governments do only gives more ammunition for those governments to work their people into a cycle of hatred, revenge and war.

This guy ^^
I have a friend in the building business who on 3 different occasions over
the last 40 years was worth over 5 million and all 3 times he went to zero.
Hes back again but I have no doubt he will take it to zero again

Please don't do this. I'm sorry but anyone who has $40k to lose gambling doesn't deserve taxpayer funds to support their business. Your business is worth millions according to you so either self-fund the training of your employees or get a normal business loan. Leave these special resources for those who aren't blowing their emergency fund gambling in the middle of a global pandemic.
We are trying to tell you that the 6 year issue is very clearly spelled out earlier in this thread, including JB acknowledging it. Try to keep up.
Ok. Your were cool then and you're cooler now. Still i will insist on the refund because i would feel really awful to take money for the case at this point. How long do you want me fry?
You
And that is itself a skill. Some people play out safe all their lives and do okay. Others live a different risk/reward cycle.

Hi Lou;
When I saw this thread getting going I knew it would come around to yours and John's "Big Hassle @ Sandcastle" (hey, that would have been a great name for it).
Even though we have been over all of this in the previous thread(s) years ago, I will again state it exactly as it was.
If you will recall, I was carrying my green and brown leather Orvis man bag at the last night of the match at Sandcastle and yes it did have a little more than $10k inside anticipating a poss rematch.
After your win you'll recall I got you and John to shake hands and even take a couple pics together in an attempt at showing sportsmanship.
As you and your team were celebrating I absolutely approached you and asked if you'd like to run it back. I wasn't kidding. You said that you will talk with Mike and will get back to us. Next thing was that you and the team were going to go get dinner, iirc, it was that you guys were gonna go get a steak. And if you'll also remember from that thread where I explained all of this before, I believe I put it something like I made you an offer and wasn't gonna dry hump your leg on your way out the door about it.
So you guys went to dinner and I figured that maybe you and your boys were talking it over so John, Karen, Jamison, his wife and me all went to dinner also.
Bottom line, we never heard back and next thing we did hear was that you were getting on a plane heading for home.
It wasn't that you didn't hear me, you may not have thought I was serious or in all of the commotion perhaps you forgot it ??? but you def did say that you and Mike were gonna discuss it then poof, you were gone. Maybe the hanging around the unfamiliar pool room with $40k cash played into it, as well.
John was juggling rattlesnakes a couple days ago and got bit quite a few times. I honestly don't think he needs anyone kicking him further while he's down.
imo, of course.
best,
brian kc <------- has gone off a time or two myself (but no, not that spectacular)

I did? Saying i have the money but I'd rather wait out the current crisis in favor of my staff sounds broke? But let's assume i am what do you suggest i should do in a situation like this make payroll and overhead to continue producing orders or lay off employees and disrupt production? Anyway it doesn't matter because the only people who are affected are myself and those i owe. For everyone else it's just free entertainment or promotion depending on perspective.
As for being worth millions, you can look up standard valuation methods and get a decent idea of investors decide what a company is worth.
You are remarkably adept at justifying your poor choice to yourself.
But no one else is buying it, least of all me.

You think i took your words at face value-Ahahahaha-Im going with broke. You can't pay off a crummy 38K and run your business too? BROKE BROKE BROKE! Nice diversionary tactic with the 'standard valuation' deal Lol! Pitiful.

I don't want you to fry. I want to pay for what I owe. Just make the case you designed (or something close if you don't do those It's George styles anymore) and take my money. I'm real easy. Thanks.
Lol, that's what you're concerned about? The billions of taxpayer funding stock buybacks and other non-productive investments must really torture you. I have never taken a dime of taxpayer funded help for my business. But if there are funds that help startups i will absolutely try to access them. What you think of my admittedly stupid loss is understandable but overly judgy. As if a person can't make a mistake, learn from it and grow to do much better afterwards.
Never said i wasn't going to get a loan but money isn't the the only thing that business development funds provide. Networking, access to shared resources, access to business leaders and their experience are just some of the benefits. It is a good thing for taxpayers when a new endeavor can turn into a solid company. Maybe consider that i was the wrong guy before this experience but now with new clarity and focus not only am i but i can actually do even better with a huge pyschological anchor removed.
