You mean besides neck rubs?

OK Stu- that one deserves a two week old dead squirrel!



No "Tugs" either!

[Roger]

Or a nice pedicure perhaps. That'd be nice.

Well, at the moment I'd like to see Stuart get flogged with that roadkill squirrel. Put me down for a ticket to that, please.

Badshot makes an excellent point. Supporting your local small firearms-related businesses is good for everyone. Midway may have what you want, but how many of us have ordered from them only to have part of the order backordered for weeks (Or in my case, months) putting whatever project you're doing on hold? But if you go over to Bowers to get something, even if they don't have it on the shelf and you ask for it they'll get it pretty quick. If you want something special done with a holster, I'd bet Badshot would be able to work with you. You won't get that from Cabela's or Bass Pro. The local folks can get the same stuff or better, and they can answer questions and give you some sound advice that you won't get from most of these other places. They can tell you the ins and outs of certain combinations of hardware or modifications, and what's best for what you want to do. I'll bet BPTactical can give you better info, do a better job, and worry more about customer service to you (us!) than someone at Gander in what passes for their gunsmith department.

I only mention these folks because they're our local go-to businesses that support and participate in this forum site. I realize I didn't mention them all, even though I've dealt with some others (like Machineguntours!) too. Bottom line, we're doing ourselves a favor by supporting them. It's a two way street.

I was totally serious about what specials on services you guys would like to see.
I cant cater my business to you guys if I dont know what you want.

I'll probably get hung for this but I would prefer NOT to see "specials". I would rather see fair pricing on a everything all the time versus "mark it up so it can be discounted later". I don't want have to wait for a "Sale" when I need or want a product.

One exception would be on commodity type product that when you purchase in bulk you can pass on the savings i.e. ammunition.

I assure you my prices are VERY fair regardless of the service offered and regardless of the time. I think the IP's here are likewise.
I would like to build my customer base and I figured a special deal to members here every so often would help in that area.
I understand your point though Jack- all too often we see far too many businesses whose pricing is too high to start with. They sucker people in with a "Sale" or "Special" so the poor bastards that patronize them feel like they are getting a deal.

[Krasni]

I'm sure he has solid prices all of the time. It's just that if he wanted to earn less money for a specific group of people (this board), he'd consider it.

If you would prefer I'm sure he could raise his price for the board.

(From what I've seen of the industry guys, they have solid pricing)
