>Mathias >one of the reasons for dive shops having to sell the complete kit ie >disk, washer, plug is that that is the way we have to buy them from >virtually all of the scuba equipment and accessory manufacturers. How you purchase your goods is of no concern to us. How you SELL them is what we are complaining about. I don't care if you buy them in kits, individually, or in truckloads of kits.

No, it does not. Again, you are confusing the business choices you make based on the things YOU are afraid of with some unstoppable, universal force. Furthermore, in this example, you are penalising me for something you imagine someone else might do. Jesus, count the number of variables in THAT sentence... >while i don't necessarily approve or disapprove of installation charges >or mandatory internal inspection in this case i think it's important to >see the dive store side of the story. No, it's not neccessary for me to see anything, it is neccessary for me to find out which store will sell me what I want in the way I want. The outcome of these decisions don't affect MY income, and while it could be argued that if it affects YOUR income, then YOU need to understand MY side of it, I really don't care if you reach the survival decision or not. Speaking as a fellow business owner, you will enjoy increased earnings when you stop blaiming and begin providing solutions that are better than your competition's. Start understanding us, rather than asking us to understand you. We don't want to understand you, your business, or your problems, we want burst discs. --------- "Huh?" --Jammer, 1992 ---------
