Amazing, they have the U2 listed, even though it just started shipping last week.

Alpine had the same problem years ago, they solved it by tracking serial numbers of their products. It wouldn't be that hard for A**D to track the serial numbers of the remotes they sell.. That way they can track where these guys are getting their products from.

I our case we made the choice to drop the client, not to "punish them" ... but to not waste our time on a job with a no money to be made situation.
The client took our proposal and shopped for our equipment after the deposit was made and then wanted to readjust and renegotiate the contract after the deposit was made. We've had this happen before and we typically explain the now lack of warranties and lack of our involvement with issues of outside equipment. We also then tack on a consulting fee and, in some cases, a higher rate for programming to compensate for sales loses.

In this particular case the client had no real potential for lucrative referrals, the job was tiny, the client was more problematic and demanded more time then the job size would justify .... and they didn't want to leave room in their negotiations to find reasonable common ground after under cutting/shopping our contract.
You could also just tell that they weren't going to be happy no matter how well the job went.

At that point the best thing for us was to happily refund most of their deposit and say goodbye with a smile and move on to/spend time on a better job.

Sometimes IT IS better business to walk away clean rather then force your way through a bad situation were no one is happy.

Tom, I agree with your logic, but I would rather work with the client to educate him as to why it is better for him to buy the equipment from me. In the majority of cases the client is not really going to save any money by purchasing over the internet as he will have to pay full T&M for installation, and there will be no free warranty support.

And if the system doesn't work right, guess who ends up owning the problem? You do. Even if you get paid for your time to fix the problem, it can leave a bad taste in the client's mouth, and you are not going to get a referral from him.

now my question is, what do u mean full T&M??? she already knows my hourly labor rate, how do you add it in

I know that A**D is now tracking all RTI serial numbers and who they go to. Soon it will just be a matter of RTI ordering something from this site, then call A**D to see who it was sold to.

Jim: I don't belive that Direct Buy works in the way that you think, make sure that you know your facts 100% before making accusations.

I came across the site being discussed while searching some Niles product, I forwarded it to them, they assured me that they are doing what they can to stop it and that they will refused any support for products purchased from them.

Ha Got em they are right here in Bellevue washington !!
