Curious is your blue jeans guy going to figure out what an aff program is?
sad to say ….. judging on his facial reply when I asked …… not a chance in our lifetime lol.
sorry I missed your post earlier on L:
you know I at one time …… may still be there though asked my hosting that it not be re-newed …… a site called …… http://www.saveondirtbikes.com …..
I bought some of the bikes….. (minimum 10 at a time …..) in order to get in on their “aff program” …… come to find out …. they wouldn’t give me a break on the bikes sold online ….. Now what kind of aff progam is that? I bought the 10 upfront … which should have allowed me the discount on any bike after that .. sold online. make sense?
anyway …. so I go to a lot of trouble……. set up the site. write all the sales pitch……. and only after that do I find out from the “sponsor” and I do mean ” “………. that they won’t sell the bikes individually for the price mark-down I got on the ten lot buy.
I was like ….. WTF? you claim an aff program. You’re idea of an aff program is that even though we’re willing to buy the bikes in a 10 (or more) lot deal ….. that you won’t honor the profit margin …. meaning I couldn’t sell the bikes at same price as they were selling and then …… instead of having them sent to my house. …… have them sent to the buyers …… so I could make …… ….. ? ……. oh say a little bit of profit?
These jackasses expected me to compete against them … selling the same bikes …. at a marked up price ……
I was livid because I really spent some time on this……. thought we had an understanding …… and I’m not one to miss such a mistake….. in fact I went over and over with them on this ….. you learn to do this sort of thing when you get my age ……. the hard way ……
and anyway … at the end of creation of the site ….. after having bought not just the ten they required to get into the “aff program” but actually bought several lots of ten … because admittedly they were a great buy ….. and sold like hot cakes where i live … but I had a few stolen and it just soured me on the whole deal …… and by then I had found out the supplier wouldn’t give me the discount on the bikes sold online ….. so I was like screw this!
but you know I went thru all the possible mis-understanding shit with these guys before I went to the trouble of making the site. I made sure they understood that if I bought their 10 lot … that I could then buy the bikes at a rate to match the 10 lot buy … to sell online.
I wasn’t going to make much more than $80… maybe $90…. a sale. which trust me isn’t that much when talking selling dirt bikes……
and I’ll be damned if they didn’t turn around and be like . ….. well we meant that price without the cost of shipping …….. and trust me … I had covered that end. made that point. They simply didn’t want me competing with them on ebay and online …. because I’m certain they didn’t want to give up what little profit (per bike) they were making.
OOOOOH! I better stop now because the next things coming out my mouth will probably have the Prof all over me … and he’d be right.
…..sigh. man i was ……. unhappy.
all that said…… I will turn you onto them if you need a deal on a dirt bike for your kid because it is a great deal…. but I won’t give them a public link.
The only reason I’ll even make the above offer is I love you guys. Trust me ….. I’m not making a damn dime off these ……. amateurs….
but they do provide a great buy… and are fairly good at support. You might not receieve a perfect bike…. (my experience on like 3 or 4 … of the ten lots …. about 1 in ten was imperfect)…. but to get a dirt bike that runs …..and some of the ones I have ….. been running now about 4 yrs or longer …. for about $500 … is a pretty good deal.
….. damn I hate saying anything nice about them.
