In our great American history if a vendor were unscrupulous he would be publicly flogged and ran out of town. That's much harder to do these days due to geographical seperation between the vendor and consumer as well as touchy feely relationships that may give vendors protection (this I have not witnessed but has been eluded to). Aditionally the possability does exsist that an unscrupulous or inexperienced consumer could slander a vendor and unwarrentedly discredit a vendor. How many times have you seen, "I bought the plane and it crashed within 15 seconds. I asked for my money back and they refused." Oh and of course it was that persons first plane so a P-51 Mustang is the obvious choice for learning.

So, I believe we should have a rating system for the vendors out there. Just like we have for ourselves here in the RCU marketplace where the consumer can give a rating and leave comments on their experiences with that vendor. Yes, the BBB does something like this but the word gets out faster and far more detailed in a smaller community such as ours. With such a tool we can publicly flog and run thos bussinesses out of our virtual town. Some tar and feathers too
