^^^^^ agree with both above...................OK not complaining I just don't know most look at the whole picture as a Retailer/vendor I will say, it is tough to answer all the e-mails(about our products listed online and on eBay) answer the phone, pack orders daily(for USPS and UPS) work the counter of our brick and mortar store, call manufactures for RA numbers on broken and bad parts and or warranties, order products to keep the store stocked and stock the shelves along with special orders, drop off USPS daily, engine/head rebuilding, keep up on social media with pictures, blog, forum chat, facebook, along with the non-fun business parts like helping with bills and building repairs.....just today on monday was only 15 e-mails that counted among about 60 with new Viagra formulas, 22 ebay orders (from decals to control arms) 4 regular orders, I cant count how many phone calls and after counting receipts for today 30 walk-in paying customers(not including the free advice gatherers), one radio station sales dude, and a race fuel delivery of 20 5 gallon buckets of VP fuel (they don't take it off the pallet just off the truck) not bad for 3 guys on a Monday and its worse when one of us is off at the track or a goodguys event to race and promote the shop and business................. so yes it can be tough to answer all the e-mails, when there one line questions from the same person over and over, do I love it yes but I squeeze it into a 10 hour day cutoff, so I can have family time and of course build my own race car, would I trade it for something else....no way.... I don't know if that's how you're vendors day is but we are not really just sitting around waiting for email and phone calls
