It is really surprising to me that there is any uproar over this manufacturer trying to protect their dealer. I would expect people to come out of the woodwork and sing their praises.
Its fine to protect dealers and no one in this thread (are you even reading the posts) has bashed them for that.
The problem I and others have is the underhanded way they went about it. Today its fine but what about tomorrow when you have a 100k product sale for a product you aren't a dealer for and the manufacturer decides to send that info down the line to an existing dealer? This was the part about other shoes and feet mentioned above.
In situations like this I use an idea of what if everyone acted like this:
If everyone acted like terrmul (in this situation) we would all go around copying exactly any quote that fell into our lap, where would that leave our industry?
What you meant to say is "if i assumed everyone acted like terrmul".
All these pages later you are still incorrectly assuming.
Then we have fortress, what if every manufacturer acted like them? They come across a quote that every acknowledges was copied. They contact who made the quote and who they have a relationship with rather than negotiating with someone who just gave them a copied quote. If every manufacturer did this where would we be?
Who acknowledged it was copied? So far we have the OP stating he received info from an interior designer. He never mentioned it was a drawing or a quote. We have cmont who was the dealer who the ID tire kicked to death. He has absolutely no way of knowing if the OP got his hands on a document he provided. And the manufacturer who mentions "exact specifications". Exact specifications is a very long stretch from "a document we produced for the dealer with the dealers information on it".
Which World would you rather live in?
This is my last post in this thread by the way, I am not looking to make enemies.
Too late. Im blogging about you tonight and there is nothing you can do about it!
