I've sent him a couple of emails but haven't got any response. Anyone else have better luck?

what about the old fashioned way and used the telephone

[YSS]

I can sympathise with John Bishop. 98 % of all our sucsessfull sales are done by phone or personal  contact.
There are many keyboard happy punters out there that can bog a business down in spending hours on fruitless replies . We now learned if someone  pics up the phone and rings , he is genuine.

[Rossvickicampbell]

some of us work overseas and cant access phone to Australia - or at least not cheaply - so internet is the way to go.  Also if this is the case why advertise internet business - not necessarily in this case - but as a few people have found recently no matter how I contact them I am genuine about my business YSS!  If you advertise being contactable via email then you should be cotnactable via email - no?

Again - not necessarily in this case but the last coment about somebody being genuine because they call doesn't mean those who dont aren't also genuine.

cheers

I did not mean it like that Rossco, with people from overseas, thats a different story. What I meant was people using a website with all the prices ,descriptions and ordering facilities in place and then they E-mail for pricing , description of goods . You then try to do the right thing and answer all those E-mails for 2-3 hours per day for no return or orders. So I understand , when people ignore happy punter E-mails . If they are realy serios about buying , they surely would invest the 50 cents to introduce themselfs , ask a few questions and when it feels right , order the goods , I understand not every body is comfortable using the web order facilities. I personally rather talk to a human.  Just look at it from the companys point of view , receiving perhaps 20-30 nongenuine enquiries everday . That is a lot time. Hmmmm

[Rossvickicampbell]

fair enough - I see what you mean - I just happen to be one of the genuine that usually uses the internet as it works so much easier for my situation.

Thanks

yes i bought lots form him. i delt with him via snail mail letter sent to him in QLD. eventually got some i wanted. pretty nice guy to deal with. still he didnt have the ultra rare 82 PE 250/400 Z Australian spec brohure im trying to find though!

[YSS]

No problem Rossco only tried to let you see the other side of the fence and perhaps it makes a few keyboard happy people think of what is involved to reply ( because  everytime you have to assume its a genuine enquiry and you spend more time on that reply than you think )

[LWC82PE]

oh by the way he said he only uses his email address when hes in USA or not in USA i cant remember which one it was!!!! try phone or type up a letter to him and post. only ask for a few brochures at a time as he doesnt like being overwhelmed by big lists.
