APPROVED!!!

I split this topic up, I took the post in the wrong direction, and it took away from sandt announcment, so I decided to split the topic, the Posts on the price fixing issue are not found in the Off topic Section...

 

This is a difficult thing to establish, or to know about in advance, this "reputation" thing...
I'd be glad to vouch for you in regard to that...

Not only can I vouch for you as an entrepreneur, as I bought a small load of Cadence gear from you way back when (couple amps and a comp set), but as a contributor to the forums.. and really to the car audio hobbyist community as a whole.

You even volunteered to help me (your main career up until this point as a multi-certified mechanic) with my supercharger on my Civic, doing a little troubleshooting.

People are often people, you can't change them...Their attitudes are their attitudes...
I think in a big way, your attitude comes through in some way in the things that you do, but in fact will steer and influence the things you do.

I've had quite the difficulty dealing with people's prissy attitudes in bricks-and-mortar showrooms, so it is with open arms and a smiling face that I would greet someone such as yourself into the retail business! B)[/b][/quote]
Yeah I totally agree. Seth always seems like he is willing to help. He even takes the time to answer my very dumb new to audio questions too and I really appreciate that. I think you will do just fine with this new second "job" Seth.

The Brahma 10 is on my top list of subs so it would be pretty easy and make me feel better about just getting it from you. All I wanna know is when your going to start selling PHOENIX GOLD!?

Just buy a bunch of pyramid shit and cover the logos up with your own company logo stickers, then double the price and make up bogus reasons why you won't honor the warrantee when th shit breaks.


On a serious note, are you gonna do that whole pre-order thing? Cuz I would reccomend against taking money from customers for products that aren't available yet or are on back-order. People have a hard time understanding that it's not your fault that they haven't gotten thier shit yet. If you take thier money and tell them they'll get a specific product on such-and-such date, and then the manufacturer fails to meet thier deadline than you end up looking like the asshole. I could give you an example of a situation like this Instead you might want to just take a small deposit to hold the item till it's available...

 

I haven't picked out a name. I am having difficulty doing so. I like my other name, but I don't want to use it in the open and lose my Cadence connection . Besides, it is a multi-proprietor company, and this deal is mine alone. Not that I don't want my partner to be screwed out of any money, but there are various reasons like the ones I mentioned above. If I can get Cadence authorised (not looking too good right now) I will use the name, as long as Dan doesn't mind a partnership based buisness (being that he has approved me, not nessicarily my partner).

Slump, the fact that I have not been authorised yet by the other companies is why I do not want to mention them here. Cadence would be the biggest company, the others are all small companies that are moving up in the industry. I don't want to get in with a company that may fail, leaving a heavy burden on me should warranty issues arise . I promise, they will be good ones.[/b][/quote]
lol

I just whpped this up in like 20 mins so dont be too terrible on me

did you like that little flash animation?????


I have a whole site design that I think would work really well for seth, and that name, I am going tp put it together in a preview, and present it to seth later

I have sunday off ( my first day off in 2 weeks :blink: ) so maybe I can whip it together then

 

LOL, Mike, that's awesome.

 

OMG, thats great. I think thats a winner mike. Seth, jump aboard man.

 

well I am off to work

but here is the "layout"

http://www.caraudiotalk.com/oldman/

Seth if you see this, and Like it here is the Features I will add to it for Functionality, and Ease of mant.

1> All Written in PHP...
2> Make use of As Much CSS as I can, so you can Change colors easy later on
3> Backend, php Admin area for Adding, and Editing Product Info
4> Use of a MySQL database for dymanic Serving of the Pages, making the # of pages much much smaller, and if/when product updates occur or product change you will not have the have edit EVERY page, liek you would with a staic HTML site
5> a PayPal shopping cart can be EASYLY added to the Mix


Remeber this is very very basic, but the that is the best part of it,

Will not take much time for me to "code" the site, and then you can add the product yourself as they come along, there will be no need for me to touch the code once it is done, unless you want to change things

As far as adding product go, you will just have to fill out a form and press "sumbit" and your product or new manurcaturer will show up

smae with eiting the product info

ohh and it can be customixzed to another name, but I think old man audio is cautching, it sticks in your head, and that is what you want....

I wich I would have thought of it

 

Seth, omg man. This amp is making a beast out of my sub man. That lil sumbitch is throwing some air. I'm experiancing some slap, but man this thing is moving. I wasnt able to get the amp rack put together the way its gonna be after the final stages, but its on its way. I got some more wires to run through it, and some cleaning up to do, but its coming along. It wont be complete till i get my second amp though. Its really nothing i want to show at this point, so dont expect any pics. hehe. i got my sub amp and distribution block set in nicely, but thats bout it for now.

 

PICS PICS PICS!!!! :lol: :lol: :blink:

 

Good luck with this venture Seth. I hope you do very well.

 

I dont see what would hold anyone back from buying at a store with a funny name. As long as you have a good reputation and products. I mean look at the wawa conveinience stores, you cant tell me that isnt a funny/weird name.

And yes Mike I love the flash.


So whats the small prize?

 

Drop me a Email

My Work Load is Getting back to Normal now, and will get even normaler (sp) after we get in to March as I will be in the Lafayette Lowes Store from 9-5 5 days a week, and that is it, no more traveling, no more extended hours,


Ohh, and many site designers try and go over board, I did for a long time, Now I use the KISS method to web deisgn


for those of you that dont know that KISS stands for, it is Keep It Simple Stupid

 

Simple is awesome! The site Mike whipped up ran nicley on 56k.
