[QUOTE="k-mart, post: 461215, member: 548707"] Well......Chad wanted so badly to know what happened to me.......so here...... I meet Ben at MECA finals 2002.......eat with him.....and his g/f........seems like a really cool guy. We start to talk......basically every night. Began to become pretty good friends. He asks me to come work for him in Iowa.......about 14hrs away. I actually consider it........like......seriously consider it. He tells me about the upcoming 15A and 9.1........i tell him that I definately want one of both......and he says that's great and that he will let me have both at around $100 off.....apiece. Well, time comes to give him the money for the stuff........and he says......oh......that'll be full price. Now, don't get me wrong, I understand that he's running a business or whatnot........and it wasn't really about the money at all. It was about the fact that he'd rather have someone whom he doesn't know and doesn't care about give him $100 more than I would be giving him. Basically, I, and everyone who was told the story, felt that he was blowing off his supposed friends for a few greenbacks. Now, I don't know where you guys come from, but I like to help my friends out anytime I can and do not try to make money off of them. I guess this was just another problem of mixing "friends with business", but when you tell said friend something, you should stick to your word.........or maybe i'm just crazy..... Then there's the fact that I know that he disregards recommendations about products from the manufacturers of those products just to make a buck. So there......he's a greedy bastard, IMO.
