Compare the product - not the "epic" story (hype). Plus, when I ask a price and get "only 29.95 a month", I take that as a guy who refuse to answer a question. I'm out. 12 hours ago, fallequinox said: I wonder if there is another forum somewhere were people are saying the same thing about us leatherworkers If they aint one, they should be one. That's a good starting test - ask 'em about they GOODS. See if they revert to name dropping and blame shifting. Examples... along with some comments ... A: Well, the cost is high because I use only Herman Oak leather .. founded in 1881, using american cow hides, best in the land, greatyest wonderfulest EVER,..... blah blah blah.. HO HO HO.... But, so do those other guys. A: See, I polish m' edges from Tuesday 'til early Friday morn. hashtag wax, hashtag oil, hashtag elvis was the king, Blah blah blah... Uh, okay. But your carving is not good, and your stitch lines are 1/4" away from my pistol (?@!)@#@! A: Uh, yeah, your holster is supposed to bind like that when you tighten your belt. Plus Jeff is a dumb-dumb-poopie-head. Jeff ain't here, so it aint Jeff binding your holster. And if your holster is tighter on the belt than it is in the hand, then it's a construction issue, not a "'newness" issue. A: Well, we sell a lot o' stuff, plus been doing this fer a jillion years now... The 14th St. "pro working girls" could say the same thing. Does anybody really believe the "product" is better?@! You get the idea. I'm ALL FOR educating the customer and letting them make an informed choice (but not everyone is). Turning to current important issues... is there a 12-step program for pistachio eaters?@! Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
