Hi people, sadly I missed the expo this year with the flu! nothing like bad timing to get sick. Anyway, my wife went to catch up with old friends and see what he new location was like. While there I asked her to pick me up a few things, she had no issues except with Kamui tips? She started at the Kamui booth.....nope, we can't sell them to you, you have to get them from a dealer/installer....she was pointed in the general direction of Mike Gulyassy's booth.......nope again!....we can put one on for you, but can't sell you one outright?WTF!.....3 more booths and the same friggin thing! also they did add that if she wanted to stop back on Sunday they would be happy to sell her the tips?.....really?
I have a lathe here, do my own work, and generally buy off the internet from sellers here on AZB. All I wanted was 1 each of Kamui's tips to try because I am replacing Talisman as my go to tip. Can ANYONE please explain the logic with any of this?
I know manufacturers protect dealers and dealers can't wholesale etc..., but why the hell would you install a tip, and not sell me one? crazy. I was going to buy one of each.....which is what? 6 tips? that's not a ton of money, but enough to turn away I guess?
anyway.......
