Not only will I save you a seat, I'll buy you a beer too. Hope they have some 9 foot Diamonds there.
It's not really the having to know where they are made. It's more the attitude that TomHay took when he got asked that question. He got offended that anyone would ask such a question, and as such, has caused me to question why he is taking that action. Why would someone, if everyone is raving about their tips, take the stance he has when asked where the tips are made? It makes no sense to treat potential customers they way he has. All he needed to do was answer one simple question, yet he made a rant about being asked the question, when a one line response would suffice.
Did we go back to the Topic this thread was about? I have no reason to not believe that story. If I am able to use it with just the initials you just won 10 free tips send mailing info.
Justabanger glad to here it. I use first class mail though I could save a ton by not but you guys are aces and I love my customers.
Thanks both of you, brightened my weekend.:smile:
Yes, my agenda was to buy tips from you. If they were made by you.
You need to get over your paranoia. Or stupidity. I'm really not sure.
For sure, you are not as sharp as you think you are.
And neither is Mr Barringer for jumping all over this with his hypocritical rants and individual breakdown of my comments, taken out of context or placed in such a way as to prove something that simply is not true. Joe, you should have been a politician because you're very clever at putting a spin on the truth.
You blew it TomHay, and in the process embarrassed yourself to a lot of people reading this thread.
They may be too shy, or scared to post, but I guarantee everyone does not share your opinion, no matter how many times you try to bulldozer over the facts.
I asked you a simple question, which you did not like. So you threw a little hissy fit.
Also, I tried to remove myself from this childish argument but keep finding I'm getting dragged back in with various insults to my intelligence and motives.
As far as I'm concerned, you and Joe can jump back into bed and brown nose each other until you're both well and truly satisfied, but I have given you my reasons over and over again. You don't believe it, fine. But that's where it should end. A difference of opinion.
And for someone who has consistently told the forum how successful they have been in various businesses, you certainly do not act that way. More like a spoilt little brat who can't get his own way.
Grow up and let it go. You are damaging yourself way more than you are damaging me.
Let the thread get back on topic, and allow you to achieve what you set out to achieve.
As I have repeatedly said, your customers seem to like your tips, and you have done a good job in delivering the right product at a great price point.
I wish you continued good luck. Now move on.
Off topic a bit, I think Dave, the refund guy, is not a good judge of character, and chose the wrong side in this thread. I'm sure he'll figure out how to get some of Tom's tips anonomously. Too bad Tom can't stiff him, like he deserves. JMHO
I'm only responding to this comment because it pertains to me specifically. Won't happen dude, anyone that knows me, here and on the reality side of life knows that I speak truthfully and from the heart. If I say it, I mean it, and If I mean it, I say it. There will never be an ultraskin layered tip installed by me, nothing against the quality of the product at all, just a matter of principal at this point. I grew up in a family business, and how a seller treats ALL people is important to me. It's amazing to me how so many will overlook a seller's behavior towards a potential buyer who asked a couple of innocent and simple questions. Is it due to feeling like they are with the 'in crowd' and also saving a few bucks on a tip, I don't know, but to each their own. I'm out, got better things to do.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Dave
Because it doesn't work economically. There is the same amount of effort in faking a $3 tip as it does to fake a $25 tip. By the time you buy the tip and have it labeled, there is no room for profit when doing it with a $3 tip.
Additionally, I don't see the infatuation as to where they are made. What's the difference if they are made in Tom's back yard or Timbuktu? If the tips play well and you like it, are you going to not use it if you found out it was made in Timbuktu?
