-Bradders- Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) I'm not making a fool at all. as above i made an opinion, i even said i don't underestimate what the guy can do? what more can I say he was a nice guy and the cars he has at the garage proves he's the man to go to if you have a GTR, there was a miscommunication on both parties and it was left as was. I didn't feel the need to make a fuss about it on the forum on leave negative reviews etc, i kept my opinion between a group of so called car friends... and you took it out of hand running to sly to show him what I'd said. as for screen shotting things,If i screen shotted half the stuff you say about other traders on the forum, you'd look a much bigger fool. Can we just leave it at that. I'm not here to argue. Just to add, i wasn't unhappy with what was done at all, as said i heard something different to what i thought he said if that makes sense lol Edited November 4, 2015 by -Bradders- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Bradders- Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm over and out, im not here to argue, the whattsapp group was a nice place before some people where added and everyone had to tread on eggshells, thats why several members left before i did.

Mondo 300 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm genuinely confused here. Has the issue now shifted from the original "group buy / angry trader" one to this "who badmouthes who?" debate...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richf Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Used to be in the old days traders joined forums and gave club discounts, unfortunately now they need to justify the traders fees and these have to be passed onto the members. I feel no obligation to support a trader just because they are one but rather those that have given me good service not necessarily the cheapest either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watshot Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Begs the question; why would a company like Goodridge get twitchy about comments from a trader they don't deal with? You could understand it if Demon Tweeks contract was up for renewal and they couldn't get the same deal. Think may be there's some info missing, not that we have any right to have it disclosed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watshot Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 So just to be clear, as the original post isn't, is this what happened: You organised a GB with Goodridge directly (or someone else) A Trader on here gets wind of this, then moans to Goodridge about it because they feel they're losing sales Goodridge then starts getting itchy feet as his customers (i.e. the Trader in question) is getting the hump Correct? Kinda but they weren't already trading with them..... They aren't selling there lines and because I'm trying to sort something for everyone they don't like it!! I was just going by this comment that the Trader (s) in question had no dealings with Goodridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davedutch Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Well, that rules out Tarmac, so Dan, perhaps you were adding 2+2=5 as smd says. Tarmac recently ran a group buy on the same brake lines ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crb Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 With out knowing the in's and outs of what's going on here I bet I can guess what has actually happened.... (And this is from my own view point of running my own business) Trader doesn't necessarily deal with the supplier but does have prices and terms from them........ Trader/s sees the group buy and think "hang on those prices are way below what we've been quoted to stick their products"...... Trader phones up supplier and asks to know how on earth can a member of the public buy 10 of these cheaper than he's been quoted for stocking....... Result.. Supplier has total egg on their face. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 unfortunately now they need to justify the traders fees and these have to be passed onto the members. You make it sound like the traders fees are hundreds of £'s How much is it ? Per year, £50 for Pro traders, £25 for member traders. Has been the same since the forum started in 2006 so no inflation on here! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
