Side note, Mark is working on a new store lay out. Getting REALLY freaking sick of sonicelectronix and woofersetc. going after brands we carry.

You gotta blame that on the manufacturer and not the outlet. A smart manufacturer would have a good rep firm to dictate who gets to carry product without watering down the brand.
They don't have a rep firm, those sites are approaching them directly.

I understand your plight, but if they have the resources to do so in our capitalist economy, then what is the problem. I have to agree with Quentin. Rep firm or no, it's the manufacturer's responsibility. If Zed or Sundown don't want their products sold on other sites, it's up to them. Unfortunately for SSA, you're too small to matter in the grand scheme and we all know how people love a cheaper price.

Oh yeah, I fully understand... whore it out is always > loyalty wink.png

Fuck Sonic Electronix. They make it damn hard to make a living for everybody.

They have no affect on my living and in fact make it easy for me if they have something I want.  I've purchase from them several times and they have good prices, service, and selection.  Can't complain about that.

If a brand becomes established by leveraging a relationship, business or otherwise, then gains success and popularity and effectively hurts the business they gained popularity with, it is unethical.

Yup, it's all about money in the end. It's sad that more companies don't care about service and loyalty as much as making a buck but it is the reality....

That's why I spend my money where I can support the "little guys" when I can.

Friends visiting up from lsu blew a tire, shredded the inner fender well and ripped out some fuel pump wiring. Get to load up some tools and make an hour trek over to Salina to fix it this morning.

Fine, some of the best in the country actually.  ;)  But if you are referring to the mega storm we had for a few hours, it has rolled through already.
