Default DEALS on Sails for ASA'ers


If anyone thought you
had an ounce of integrity you might actually sell something with a
pitch
like that.



Hey, man. It's your money. If you think I'm anything but totally
professional outside of this forum you can contact my yard and see what
they think of me.
If you need sails and want to pay more...that's up to you of course,
Dave. I have no hard feelings towards anyone here and don't earn
anything but good will from others my making such an offer.

Funny you should say that. Early this year, a friend of mine
wanted to buy a boat in your area and called this number you
gave. When he mentioned getting you to take a look at the
boat for him, the person answering the phone laughed.

Probably not, they laugh at him too.

If Bubbles actually had a good deal to rpesent on sails, he
could say something like "The sail loft I'm working with
offers a basic quote of X $/sq-ft, call around and see if
any others will beat that." Instead he just has more dumbo
bluster. He'll probably say "bwahaha" at some point.

There are a number of people in this forum who have bought
sail in the recent past, and by their accounts have done
well enough that they don't need advice from me on the
topic; and certainly not advice Bubbles.

Even you admit you are an ass in the forum. Who
would do business with an ass. It is too bad you
have lost your credibility. This is something you will
never regain.

That's true, Bart....but we've spoken on the phone, have we not? I
don't think either of us would say the other is an "ass" in the real
world. You sounded like a nice guy, you told me of your superior
sailing experience and I respected it all the way. If I had some kind
of terrible rep, my yard would not keep me around. Those guys are
Italian and take no crap. That's the real world.
This is ASA and we all let off steam and blow smoke and so on. A few
folks like Doug and Sloco grandstand and want to pretend that this is a
"serious" forum for sailing. But you know as well as I do that there is
little real traffic here with our small group of regulars. In 10 years
I've been spotted by someone outside of ASA while doing business
exactly one time. It didn't hurt the sale.
Folks here troll plenty....but if Scotty could save me money on a
camera, I'd take him up on it...if he offered. I know you have some
kind of relationship with North. I also have one with Doyle. But this
new deal is special and the quality is higher for less money.
Turn-around may be slower, but reasonable for off season. If you really
think I'm such a bad person in the real world, then forget it. No
problem. I made the offer and that's that. I'm not making the sails or
even measuring for them. I'm not even a middle man, in spite of Gilly's
silly trolls.

Of course we don't think you're a bad person. We just think
that you must have a fairly serious psychological problem or
you wouldn't act the way you do.

That's good, considering that you apparently have no clue
what the black bands are for.

Don't forget...
Bubbles, you're nuts!

We don't hate you Swabbie. We want you to get the proper
medication.

I'm on the floor rolling in laughter at how ludicrous a claim it is....

Not really, I've become rather accustomed to Bob's duplicitous nature.
Who's the first guy too jump all over someone for selling stuff on the
group?

Who's the first one to say that people shouldn't criticize his "sailing"
style because it's an individual thing and there's no "right" way, and
then turns around a lambastes someone else's sailing operandi?

The list goes on nearly ad infinitum.

Cheers
Marty
