Its actually quite simple, I can buy the part from ebay or even phase2 @ say $80USD + Shipping + Customs… WHY would I buy from then if I could get it from Bing for $80CDN to my door ? It has nothing to do with him or his position, it has to do with the price.

Listen if you can’t see the advantage of positioning in business then I’m not about explain it. Not because I’m saying you wont understand but because it’s a long explaination and right now I’m heading out soon.

Like I said, I can’t stop people from buying his products, all I can do is ecourage people to buy quality parts.

Any business that makes money owe the consumer for their sucess. He’s not offering a piece of machinery that saves lives. If anything it’s closer to the opposite.

I believe that last batch of exhaust he sold fell apart, with no offer of refund, but rather exchange for the same poorly made exhaust.
