The vendor is pretty obvious to anyone that cruises Pro-touring and here...

The biggest issue is the blur between being friends and and having an objective view on how a company runs itself. The vendor you mention has a lot of friends on both sites...he's a nice personable guy...he's helped out alot of people and is well liked on a personal level....but over and over he has shown a pattern of not running a trustworthy business.

But the personal connections and friendships make it hard for some people to open their eyes and see it for what it really is... their friend couldnt possibly be screwing people over...he's a friend... its hard for some people to look past that. So they will come to his defense over and over

Bottomline for me is that sporadic issues come up with any company you deal with...no company is perfect...but patterns dont lie and this vendor has shown the same pattern over and over despite all his excuses and promises that its a "hiccup" as his business is expanding/moving/changing computers etc etc....
