Good luck in your endeavors and I hope everything works out good for you. I've had a few dealings on this site and they were not without bumps in the road but worked out in the end due to honesty and the will to bend or give a little.

Moody try not to put all your cards on the table at once. Honesty is good but the law of the jungle applies here at AS and your running around like a wounded hieener. I know the other builders are 'just trying to help', but they are exposing your floors for a reason. Life is tough, business is tougher all I can suggest is you pour yourself a big glass of 'harden the f*+k up' drink it and rethink your strategy. I have only read positives about your saws and i hope things turn around for you.

Moody, it was a pleasure to speak to you yesterday. You eased my fears of having my saw M.I.A. I commend you on your courageousness to speak your mind but I wouldn't give people too much information as some might take it even further. Best words of advice I was given was to "take everything like a grain of salt" and " take care of you and your family first".

A month or two having my saw isn't the end of the world for me nor should it be with anyone else. I'm sure everyone else, like myself has a shelf full of saws to use in the meantime. I look forward to using it on Sunday and if it checks out, I'll be sure to give you a good rapport.

I personally met moody at a gtg this summer and he is a stand up guy. He asks for advice from the guys that have been doing this for a long time and listens to them well. In my eyes anyone that can go to and ask for help from the big boys and also come forward and admit he has problems but is going the extra mike to fix it and make his customers happy is only going to excel in what he's doing. Good luck moody hope things turn around for you when this dreaded 2013 is over.

Moody,

Poking my nose in here, very few of us have lived a long life without getting knocked down a few times. Once I fell sick at an awkward time, I had overextended myself and then got tagged with big bills on the medical front too. Among other things I owed was about $2500 to an automotive parts and paint store. That was for one month's paint and supplies I purchased there and that wasn't the only place I bought paint.

Took me six months to cover that. Never hid or stopped dealing with the store for the little bit of stuff I bought, paid cash of course. When I brought the back debt in the owner of the store told me he had never worried about me paying, I didn't hide, I did update him now and then. I told him I was damned glad one of us hadn't worried about the bill!

What if one get lost after you ship it? Will you be able to replace it?

What I do when I sell a saw is hold the money for 45 days just in case there ends up being a problem.
I also keep other rebuilt saws on hand if I have to replace a unit. It's overkill but it saved myself and a buyer
much heartache on two occasions in the last five years.

Not to derail the thread to much,I'd like to give shootingarts two thumbs up,we've been in business for 17 yrs in a small town.Right from the start we would extend credit to those we felt could and would honor their debits.Of course this has not been without disappointment.All we have ever asked of our customers that have a charge account is if you can't make your payments,come and tell us or let us know,we can work something out.Everyone has unexpected hard times,some definitions of hard times are different with different people.
Being a small town the thing that pisses us off the most is when you are carrying someone for x amount of dollars and they are spending their cash on the same goods or services at your competitor.This is easy to see because one of the services we have is a gas station and heating fuel delivery.
Anyone that owes us money and comes to us to deal with it always moves up a notch in respect in our eyes.And there are some that i wouldn't piss on to save their life if they were on fire.

I'm in a small town also. It burns me when folks owe me money and the next thing I know they are on a plane to Hawaii for a family vacation. That kind of behavior has caused us to severely tighten up our credit terms.

All of us that have been in business long have been there. We had a Mobil station in the sixties. Customers trade with us once or twice a week for years, give them three dollars credit to make it till the end of the week and watch them fill up at the Esso across the street from then on. I learned a few lessons from that. Years later I had an auto salvage. Some people love to window shop auto salvages like women browse malls.(yeah I have seen a few men mall shoppers too!) No good reason to run them off but they never spend any money and might tie up one of my men for an hour or more almost every week. One day one of those customers asked for credit on a twenty dollar part. I gave it to him. After he left I started laughing. My wife asked what was so funny, "With a little luck I'll never see him again, $20 well lost!"

Back to the regular programming, hang in there Moody. One thing I have learned in all these years is that life moves in cycles. I have been up and down more times than a yoyo. Better times ahead, all you have to do is hang on and do genuinely the best you can.

Randy, if you go to "Inbox" on the top right of the page, then click "show all", all your old PMs are still there along with the new "conversations". At least they are for me.

Call yourself a 'builder', 'tuner' or "God' some people won't ever be happy, others can wreck an Anvil playin' with it in a sandbox!

I'll be damned Steve, there they are. I figured the ones I had in separate folders would have been gone, but they are on the last couple of pages. I do miss the old format of having folders in the PM section. Am I missing something, or is that not an option with this software?

 

[Steve NW WI]

Randy, I don't see anything like that either. There's lots of add on stuff for this software, I guess, so if you want something, post in the Support forum and maybe D can find something that works. Last I knew they were working on a photo album add on...

 

[Mastermind]

Some of the features I really like........the edit method is slick for instance.

 

[CR888]

mastermind you know every time you post in this thread it goes to the top of the list for the world to see and adds another nail in the kids coffin. The Fed Ex frieght shares have doubled since your porting ventures started. Can't you find a bigger fish to fry and stop acting like Walmart. Theres enough to go around, he ain't exactly cuttin your lunch is he.....
