Well if you have a look at their web site you will not find us listed and we don't self promote on this
forum...... matter of fact I have no interest selling to people on here and I am against people spruiking their wares on sites like this.
A
forum is a
forum and not a
shop front to sell from.
To many seller use a
forum not for the love of what it is but as a form to make quick money..... the truth hurts....... there are some who contribute a fair bit to this
forum and sell successfully on here but they also use the
forum to gain information for them selves..... Derek from ABR comes to mind and he is not scared to refer someone to something he doesn't sell.... non biased honest advice is something hard to come by.
When I was actively on the New Hilux
Forum may knew who I was and what I did but I refused to sell to people on there due to the fact the
forum was entertainment for me and not a selling arena, there was another auto elec who joined the
forum as someone who had a Hilux and a interest out side selling his wares.... over time people found out what he did and he sold the odd item or did work for them.... he was an honest
forum user who put the
forum first and selling second.... over time you do the right thing and people respect you for it.
We use to sell Tyredog and we are now evaluating the Inawise range for our fleet customers..... yes evaluating, you know this thing that not many people selling things do.
Just because we have mention a item doesn't mean it will be something we will sell.
We sell many leading products to fleet. mining and transportation and if we spuuik a product as being the bee's knee's and we have 5 fail in a fleet of 50 vehicles our reputation can turn to mud very quickly, unlike a retail environment where they can have 15 fail out of 50 and nobody know different.
Product evaluation is a costly and time taking exercise.... try minimum of 6 to 12 months for most products we sell.
Some of the things an item must meet.
1) Do what it is meant to reliably 100% of the time.
2) Ease of use and function.
3) Must be robust enough for the harshest conditions and abuse.
4) Have full manufactures support for us and the customer.
5) Spare parts have to be readily available now and in 5 years time locally and overseas.
If I was self promoting don't you think I would offer some way for potential customers to contact me?..... so I can rip them off with under performing products.
Some people on here know what I do but I don't go out of my way to make it known.
