Give it up my friend..... I am a business owner and I have competition - but I would never publically bash another competitor business - bad move man...bad business ethincs......especially bashing in writing.......thats just plain stupidity....it can be held against you....fool.
Most of us with a brain can see through that kind of BS....if I were Tim, I would not be happy at the way you are acting. If you are Tim, then you better disappear for a while.
Well put.
I too am a private business owner and I know for a fact that word of mouth decides my fate...if the word is good, I do well...if the word is bad, no amount of satisfied customers can offset that one bad deal.
That being said, I recall being told by one of the LHS hotshots that Rick is a hack and all he does is port sleeves and polish turds...glad I didnt listen to that guy. Instead I bought one of Ricks RS5 mods and I love it, Rick will get all my business unless he does me wrong.
As a matter of fact I put in a call to Rick last week, he didnt answer the phone at the time, but 30 minutes later he called me back, spent 40 minutes on the phone with him on his dime, all over a $14 pinch job including return shipping. IMO thats outstanding customer service.
Irobotix...I told Rick that you may be considering one of his engines ( cool if you buy from Djray) , but you should call Rick anyway if you buy one of his engines, even if you dont get it directly from RB. I bet you wont be disappointed.
