Yes Bill, that's the way I look at it. As for re-selling to fellow forum members on a forum that so often touts a feeling of "Brotherhood" and helping each other, a REASONABLE markup is certainly understandable. I just felt that this time was excessive, as supported by the Busse price sign on the table. If I'm lying, then nail my hide to the barn; if not, then don't threaten me with warnings, being banned, etc. Just the way I see things, and at Blade i will discuss this with Jerry himself.
I told you last night if you had a problem you know the shop #. I also told you that if you have a problem with me even after all Ive done and given you that you know my # as well. Unfortunately, you didnt not take the opportunity to do either. You simply come back into Jerry's house and sling more mudd and cause more unneeded drama.
I cant for the life of me understand why.
You say its supported by the price on table? Bull! The $247 doesnt include 6% tax which makes the cost $261.82 before nearly $900 in gas, lodging, and meal expenses. Also, how much do you make for a living? If its $25k you can add another $100 day lost for taking off work. So you can sit at home and still spend $1200 on knives no matter what they cost and they are still FREE!!
Heck, the only way it works for me is that I bought 33 blades. So I still have roughly another $30 on top of the $261.82 making my cost $291.82 This # still doesnt not reflect the 12 hours + of sitting in line, or the 16-17 hours drive time and wear and tear on autos.
Take into account the $50 Jerry gave off was for folks attending, not you sitting at home, really makes the minimum price of a proto for me $341.82 prior to me shipping which is $12 with signature in regional box A . Dont forget the roughly $15 paypal fee and cost to your door in conus is $368.82
Wow, there goes your price gouging theory
Heaven forbid I came over to the yard and insulted some of your members, but if I did I would be making a huge apology to you, Jerry, and Dan. Not coming back doubling down and continuing the madness.
Again, I cant say it enough....the fact that you moderate the Scrapyard forum, and are so willing to bring this here astonishes me.
So, you are getting a trolling infraction now.
Although, that may not be it as I leave your hide for the boss
