Removing my Mod hat..... Why do you care so much about proving if he knew what the "margins" were? As long as they were authentic Oakleys, not "hot", & everyone involved felt like they were getting a good deal.... Who cares who he was getting them from & why are you sooo intent on sticking your nose in here & proving his knowledge base. How were you "protecting" the members on here, when they all obviously felt like they were getting a good deal, regardless of what the margins/discounts were, & now that deal's been ruined, in part by you making such a fuss? I asked you the same questions 2 years ago Brian when you shit all over that kid's thread selling his bike parts, in the name of "educating" everybody on what legitimate prices were for aftermarket parts in the resale market Anytime there's a track thread or conversation about something you sell.... You always have to puff out your chest & feathers & show you're "the expert". Wouldn't be a problem if it was perceived as being helpful, but a lot of people on here are rubbed the wrong way by it, & feel it's just you always needing to show off. As I learned in sales many moon ago.... Perception is reality. I'd even go so far as to say it's the overiding theme of most of your posts on here. It doesn't seem like you're here for general conversation, looking for people to ride with, or joking around.... Just to preach to us & "tell" us what you "know" You obviously know your stuff Brian..... For me & others I know, it's your delivery that's hard to palate And FTR again... This is me speaking personally.... Not as any representative of the board
