Tony......you are a joke.
Teaching a 5 year old to run a saw? Although he is probably more mature than you, he is too young to be messing with them.
You say you don't want to beat a dead horse, but you go and start another thread bashing Dolmar. You have practically no chance of getting ANY other saw vendor to do business with you at this point. They won't touch you with a ten foot pole,(or is it pole saw?). Your only hope is to try one of those companies in China selling Stihl knockoffs. But you have to buy 200 at a time, which for you is about a 12 year supply. I wonder if the Chinese govt has floorplan. Of course you have to be a real business to get floorplan. Is that where you get yours' Thall? Seems like the biggest part of your day was sitting around waiting to get a haircut. How often does that happen in your part of the country?
Scott;
Don't send this clown an air filter. He doesn't deserve one.
Maybe the rest of us real Dolmar dealers should petition Dolmar that we will all DROP the line if they re-sign this guy? All of this fuss from a "dealer" whose entire local customer base could sit around his kitchen table.
Another issue: I know that there are certainly horrible dealers out there. I'm lucky to have a couple of them fairly close to me, which has helped me to have a very succesful business. But reading between the lines here, the reason a lot of you guys like dealers like Tony is because they aren't in it for the money, and charge accordingly. This appeals to some of you who are extreamly CHEAP. They throw in freebies, don't always charge tax, they'll fix your saw while they are eating dinner.
Tony; If you want to play with saws with your friends, go ahead and enjoy yourself. But don't expect to make a living at it. You are not a business person, as you are continuing to demonstrate. You have shown that you are not capable of resolving issues on your own, which a real business person must be able to do. Instead, you throw a public tantrum on this site and hope that buy stomping your feet and crying like a baby, that you will get your way.
To you other guys who have been egging him on; you are killing him with your support. You are pumping him up, saying "we're with you Tony". But you are not with him. Nobody is. The poor fool is all alone. You are like a bunch of kids in the school yard trying to get two other kids to fight so you can watch.
This whole thing is actually kind of pathetic, and it will be nice when Tony finds another hobby.
Ya know its getting bad when the wife wants to read it.
My local Stihl dealers are truly busy. Anytime I've walked in, you'll only see one on a computer if they're ringing up a sale. If they're not dealing with customers or ringing up sales, they're working on maintenance/repairs. Not playing around on the computer
