Dealer Deals, my idea may not be so hot after all

[Jerry]

Many of the offers are not very good at all.  Webb's gardens for one will beat Pond Vac 3 prices by as much as 300.00 !
If we chaged for banners this would be an affront to those dealers.  Here they pay us and anyone can advertise for free and often not a very good deal and certainly not with the background and reputation of those we do promote via our banners.

I think a ckange is in the wind.  Your input is welcome.

Sounds like you are on to something Jerry. Keep working on it. What's fair is fair.

Until just now I never looked at the "Dealer Deals" forum.  Just the forum title alone gives me that sense of walking onto the parking lot of an auto dealership......     When I can I try to shop local or at least in my home state in order to help my local economy.  And besides, if I do get a raw deal I have local courts or a State Attorney General to go to for help. 

When I do need to purchase something that I can't find local, I go to forum members, either here or on other pond forums, who I know and trust because of their good reputation.

Good thoughts Mike.  Of course e bay and Craig's List have the same problems.   I have done very well on Craig's both buying and selling.
The one we give banners too were screened by me and Sean and are solid citizens
