We should have bet on a deletion date and time.

OK then, I retract my previous compliment to the Yellow.  I saw nothing in the deleted thread that I think was a good reason to 86 it.
And so it begins.
Nice work, Tom, with grabbing the thread and posting it in your forum.

[MikieG]

Reading in the Yellow and here has me needing to point out one fact. SSSO is a small mom and pop shop, NOT a distributor like their opposition.
SSSO said if they loose HW, they will have to close shop.
Sad as they have been serving us since the 80's. How old is AoA?

Sooooo... anyone here planning on attending the Extreme BR put on by aoa?

Sooooo... anyone here planning on attending the Extreme BR put on by aoa?

I do not plan on it. 1) I live too far away. 2) I prefer not to do business whose motto is: Greed is our creed.

I am not a member of the yellow because I do not like the set up over there, I do not like their politics, and reason number 2 above.

I will shut up now.

Gentlemen, let me remind you of:

Rule 13- Personal attacks on individual airgunners, dealers, tuners or other airgun forums are strictly forbidden. If you have issues with them, then they should be addressed one on one.  Do not create a “war zone” on your forum. Take your issues up directly with them and do not launder them here on the GTA forums.


This thread is very informative about airgun manufacturer's licensing practices and inter-business models of exclusivity BUT it is skating very close to violating our forum's rules.  If it does so, it will be consigned to the Non-productive Gate where no one will be able to continue this discussion.  Obviously, this is something none of us want.  So, please choose your words carefully when discussing the practices of AOA and the Yellow forum.  Personally, I'm very interested in seeing how this is resolved so let's keep it civil and within the rules.

thanks

Try and restrain yourselfs so this does not just sorta fade away and that western importer gains again via actions that most find unethical or at the very least just plain mean.

ya wanna vent go to that temp alternate place and post ya story

If you have not written in its not too late.

Let this run its course the ball is rolling quite well

Right now the ball is in HWs hands

Good grief

[chiro972b]

The frustrating thing is this American distributer is disliked by many not for its pricing, but for its poor customer service. If they focused on improving that, they wouldn't need these other actions. I and many like me don't mind paying a bit more when we know we're going  to  get  excellent customer  service. This retailer/distributer (is the distributor also supposed to sell retail?  Hmmm) has a well deserved reputation for terrible  customer  service. That is why I swore off them years ago.

Thread/ topic is closed for comments. I wish it wasn't..

[woogie_man]

Why do you come in a thread and try and poke a bear?  Are you wanting to get a spitting match started so this thread gets shut down?  That thread was locked and it is done, leave it like it is...in the past.

If you read any of the reviews from said company the customer service side of things should tell you everything you need to know.  If you run a business like garbage it should fail, and if you run it great it should succeed.  You won't get anything from threatening your competitors, but just the dislike from the community you are trying to sell to.

ya wanna vent go to that temp alternate place and post ya story

Thats what its for 

This thread needs to live ...its the right thing

[Booger]
