SRC Member Ian Posted January 20, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 20, 2004 I just had some very upsetting news from a LFS owner that I thought I should share with you guys. As some of you know that I~Aqua is my baby and I design and sell acrylic products, and also promote the TUBBY allot with my setups. I've always maintained the pricing at $135. Even to my best friend I sold it to him at this price. I never gave a cent cheaper as this is not my product, it's cookiemonsters. Now the story... A guy walks into LFS and says that the TUBBY which the LFS is selling is expensive. He said he knows Ian (which is me) and can get it at $120.00 and as many as he wants. LFS owner was shocked and defended me knowing I would not do such a thing. The Owner told him to get it from Ian (me) then. The owner than called me to inform me about what has happened. If the guy is in this forum, please do not use and abuse my name and reputation, or for that sake, not anyone else's. I have not done anything wrong too you and if I did please let me know. You might just trying your luck to get a good discount but don't ruin people's name as a result of it. Thank You.

Achilles Tang Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Gee... it adds to the list of unethical people who try to do knockoffs to sell after learning all they can how to duplicate them. Copycats and wannabes. Just don't want to name names but people will find out over time. Sorry to hear this happening to you and cookiemunster.

SRC Member reefer guy Posted January 20, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 20, 2004 that's quite a cheap shot for that stupid guy, he thought he could make the lfs drop the price by saying so and bargaining..... well, if he can't afford it, then don't buy or ask at all.... if he can afford it, i'd suggest Ian not to sell him either......

SRC Member AlfaRomeo Posted January 20, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 20, 2004 Really sad when cheapo ppl do this to honest reputable guys. Just goes to show that sometimes some ppl do not deserve respect and do not deserve to be treated nicely too. Hope its not one of the regulars here..

SRC Member Clownfish Posted January 20, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 20, 2004 I believe the owner wont buy his story too... i mean if the guy says he can get at a cheaper price directly from Ian n know him well, y not get from Ian direct? must still go to a LFS n bargain.... so illogical..... such a stupid n illogical bargain from the stupid guy Quote My Personal Blog My Wedding Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
