ATTENTION VENDORS
Venom Zak posted,
Hello Everyone,
I would like to bring to your attention an entity running foul in our industry. YourCornerStore is selling many of our products for insanely low prices. For instance, they are selling my bushings for $3.82 per pack. MSRP is $7.00 per pack. I believe they are posing as a distributor to get lower pricing, and then selling through an online storefront at ridiculously low margins. They are undercutting shops and hurting the industry as a whole in a BIG way.
If you are a manufacturer, send them a message. Let them know that they need to sell your products at a standard price, or their account is terminated. It is very unhealthy and unethical to do what they are doing. They are selling all of their products for far less than they are listed on the Manufacturer's own web pages!
If you are a shop owner, you should be outraged. They are stealing your business. Especially if you are paying normal shop cost, as well as overhead. You are being hurt. Tell your reps to report this to their companies.
Let's stop this before its too late.
Thanks,
~Zak Maytum, Venom bushings.

Good News. I called some friends, and we made some progress on this. We figured out what distributor was behind this, and I believe a stop has been put to it.
