I talked to Chris at the sema show and he just seemed a little cocky and barely interested in my questions even though I was the only one in the booth at the time. I just chocked that up to the fact that I look young and am young as is my business. The problem with this is even though that's the case, I have a customer that I have already sold on some parts specifically from Fesler because I wanted to support the vendors on this site. When I asked about the certain products that were actually at the show, there was hardly motivation for an answer to my questions. Even when I gave him another chance and asked a different way I got a less motivated answer. I figured he was tired of dealing with B.S.ers and young'uns, but I left feeling like I maybe needed to buy somewhere else. Mind you I really look up to companies like Fesler, Squeege's, Ironworks, etc. because I hope to be at that level someday. It's sorta like the feeling like an older sibling made fun of you in front of their friends. I would not have said anything to anyone about this, but this thread deserves this input. By a business perspective, I'm just a little guy but everyone I met at the show was beyond nice, JF Lanier, the guys from Killer Customs and all at the party, and everyone at the Lat-g party, etc but this was the one exception.
