I have bought your products and you refunded the wrong shipping amout to me in a very timely manner. I actually don't know how you do it, being an airline Captain and all. I read the GB comments if I need that part and skip them if I don't. You are a real asset to our group who love these wonderful little cars!

Keep making the stuff and keep posting the same way.

When friends come by to watch the rustoration, I show them your stuff, and the reaction is always the same: "Wow!"

Thanks

I don't think it's broken. I like seen the group buys, and doing it the way you do really helps get enough interested folks to make it happen.

Thanks for all you do for the community.

HOW BOUT a new category for Group Buys with an automatic 30 day drop off? Keeps it out of Garage and not lost in Vendors. GBs really do not fit on those 2 areas.

Keep doing what your doing and don't change a thing. I spend most of my time in the garage and look for group buys and announcements there. Vendor section to me is to list your catalog or link to your website.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with the others. Keep doing exactly what you are doing. You label your threads such that they are plenty easy to ignore if one finds them obnoxious.

Personally, I don't look at the member vendor forum very frequently, so I would have missed out on a LOT of the great products you have manufactured.

Don't change a thing - you are helping a lot of folks here, and I have to think that the number who are annoyed by your threads is very small.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)


I agree with other that you should keep doing what you are doing. I try to keep up with what you are doing but often find out when another member says you have the part.


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

Just keep it the way it is. If someone doesn't want to open that thread, so be it. There are tons of threads that don't get a lot of feedback, but why try to limit YOUR threads based on what someone else wants.

Besides, I wouldn't qualify you as 'hawking' products. Without you 'hawking' your products there would be no other vendor to provide them.

I didn't read every post here. Who has time. But the difference to me is that you are reproducing parts we would never see again.

I mean your not having some Chinese company make some bad part we could never install. You producing good product at a fair price.

Your not finding stuff on the internet we can already purchase ourselves and reselling it to us. You producing product.

If I had to find out about it from the members vendor section I wouldn't find out about it.

Thanks for supporting our group!

Thanks guys,
Not really sure what else I could do to not be obtrusive, but offer what people want. I guess for now status quo, I may try to do more than one on a thread to make easier to find and still make them combinable. Some of what I do, takes longer than planned, and have been on the back burner (Plaid cloth), and some are pretty quick, so co ordination is sometime difficult. I do hate throwing a GB out there that sits much longer than I'd like.
Thanks all

Mark you are developing new products all the time, you listen to our input, your GB's have no minimums (IIRC), your prices are good even without a GB, you don't toot your horn saying you are the greatest and you do give help and real advice even when there is no profit in doing so.

In my mind you're one of our best vendors and a buddy, keep doing what you do and forget the whiner.

I vote for your continued service in the same manner. Thanks mark, most of us here own you a great debt. I still don't get why a guy named Mark calls himself mikey914 but whatever. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

current procedure seems fine to me.... like someone else said, they are labeled. if you don't need it, don't open the thread. I do anyway, what's it gonna hurt.
