Auto Atlanta has contacted us about some of our products. They have ordered some and are going to do an evaluation on them. If we get a contract with Auto Atlanta we may not be able to sell to the public anymore do to the volume that they are talking about ordering.

I think it depends more on your business goals than anything else, on how to to take your products to market.

If you are more interested in saturating the market and gaining market exposure, have the capacity to effectively service the orders and maintain an acceptable customer service level, then you might want as many locations as possible distrubuting your wares. McDonalds Hamburgers has a different business model than does a local mom-and pop burger joint, but both can be successful, and both can easily fail.

Regardless of what any one person, or even a small group may think of any one business enterprise, there are others who believe differently. This 914world.com website represents only a small fraction of the total 914 ownership, its by no means the overwhelming majority of 914 owners. Maybe someday it will be, but its not there yet... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

I am quite certain that George has many happy and dedicated 914 parts customers. We always hear of the bad transactions and only a few brave souls mention their good experiences. I'm not stating my opinion of AA, just trying to get you guys to think before being so quick to publically tar-and-feather AA, PP or anyone else where you are not satisfied. If you are not satisfied with a certain company, dont go back, public crucifixions are not appropriate. We should encourage or at least not discourage, the efforts of any enterprise that supports the 914...especially as emphatically as George has over the years. What would life be like if AA was not an available resource for those NLA 914 parts that no one else has???
