![]() "Capt. Rob" wrote in message oups.com... You can't even be honest about you getting benefits from other's transactions. Sure I can. Can't you read? I simply won't disclose it here. Call me or e-mail for sail info and I'll happily tell all. RB 35s5 NY "As for the benefit, what difference does that make. Makes no difference." But it does make a difference. That's because you don't represent the best interests of either the loft or buyer. You are concerned first about your interests. The benefit is obvious. Find enough people to buy sails via you and you get free sails. You'll brag about it forever. Mark up on sails is about 2x. Figure selling 10 sails at about $1500 a pop (it is slow season now) and the owner can toss you a sail for free which only costs him $750 in materials, labor and overhead. The owner pulls in $7500 in profit on $15,000 in sails and gives you 10% in the form of a free sail. "As for the benefit, what difference does that make. Makes no difference." If it makes no difference then why hide it? You don't have to divulge the Loft's name. |

Does that loft realize the potential damage it is doing to its reputation by
associating with you? I hope the owner searches USENET looking for your email address. The abuse, lies, lies and more lies are well documented for all to see. When you say: "When you learn of the loft and sailmaker involved, I think it'll erase any doubts." You are the source of the doubts. Are you using the loft to try and salvage your reputation? Sorry, it doesn't fly here. A decent man would notify the loft of what you do here and on other forums and then they can decide if they really want you as a front man.

![]() Go climb back into your soiled bed - you made it!! Is that the bed I made by selling 7 sailboats this summer from 11K to 144K? Or is that the bed I made creating deals with local lofts for our club and one other? Now you say it's the bed I made because I'm offering sails at a steep savings? I have sail jobs pending for Tartan 37, Catalina 30 and 320, J33 and now a person on ASA. Two orders are already paid and I just started this 9 days ago. Nobody cares about trolling online and very few people hang out here once they see what's going on. Still, I know people are seriously nasty and vindictive here, so I don't include professional contact info ever. Pay what you want. Catalina 30 Tri-radial cruising main, double reefs, full batten with 7% roach added-some custom features as well were added. New and shipped for 1629.00. Wanna know what North would charge? And this sail is made from a better material (or you can have the same for a lower cost) and can be custom cut. As I said, pay what you want elsewhere...but it'll be more and you'll get nothing in return for those extra dollars. Buh bye. RB 35s5 NY |

The whole thing stinks of boiler room sales tactics.
How many FTC regulations are being violated here? Red flags all over the place! |

Well, I personally am going to reserve judgment till I get a
quote for my main sail. I'll deal with the devil himself if it will save me $5. Scotty "Lloyd Bonifide" wrote in message ...

The big problem with 3DL is that they can't be repaired like a paneled
sail. |

They couldn't go to trial. Try a google search on the 3DL problems. Now try to imagine that no one sued. My friend did. His 3DL didn't even last a single season before delaminating. Want direct proof? E-mail me and I'll put you in contact with him. RB 35s5 NY |
