is that why you shop at my store?? lol I guess I better not bull**** you again lol
Bull**** me AGAIN?? Did I miss something LOL! Yes that is a partial reason I do shop at your store. Main reason is you have been the nicest guy and willing to help no matter what., and you are pretty close but you know the other hobby shop is closer but I do not go there. Point is I will drive farther and order from who I like best not who is closer or cheaper prices. I decided to sell the mantis even though it was my favorite and my protos mainly because what that guy did to me and I do not want to have ANY reason whatsoever to go to him for ANYTHING!! since he is the only one around that carries parts for it

I pick up 5 or 10 customers a year because of the people who work for the other Hobby shop in this town. The owner is a super nice guy but his help is just like some of the people described above. I get Louzy oops Losi parts from him. Darins right though and if they can't step up there is always another shop around and stand by your toys.

The Hobby Land in Bloomington Illinois is top notch. They know i have an internet bought Redcat and they still treat me like i spend 500 bucks a week there. Always willing to help me figure stuff out and even try new parts out in the store before i buy them. I gotta admit online prices are hard to beat but when i need something now I never hesitate to give them my buisness.

That's exactally how every store should be. That's the way I am and from what I keep hearing I'm guessing that's the way Dennis. THere is no reason at all for any store employee or owner to treat someone like dirt under there feet because of what brand they have or where they bought it. It's totally what's killing the Industry, I hear story after story from you guys and locals about how bad the stores are. I even have my own horror stories. Yet they won't change. Crazy.
