Other than Sean addressing the price difference, he still hasn't addressed why the thread was deleted or why I was asked to take this thread down. Instead, it's other forum members hypothesizing as to why he took the thread down. If Sean had some transparency at the beginning contacted me to explain why he deleted the thread, why I was asked to take this thread down, AND if he had good reasons for doing so, I would have taken this thread down. In fact, if he had a legitimate reason for deleting the thread and explained it to me, I would have never posted this feedback thread in the first place. Instead, he let things go, and, IMO, not explaining things is a bit shady, and thus this thread was posted. As I stated in my original post, you can draw your own conclusion. I've drawn mine, and you can draw yours. However, because I do feel some shadiness in his business practice, I posted this thread to inform others that this *may* happen. It's food for thought when choosing a vendor. |

1. The price I quoted the OP was considered to be pretty reasonable. I did MSRP $1299 + 8.5% + discounted shipping. Normally our shipping itself would be at least $100 because of the size of the product. 1,584.42. Even if he used LUCKY7 code for July, prices would have been if the OP was going to order from our website, he would have had to pay -$90.93 at total of $1,485.76. Note~ His original response to our potential customer who asked, "Are prices the same as the webprice?" Tbone said, "yes same price." Clearly he never went to our website to check prices. Also he assumed that shipping was cheaper since he's in California. My icon was used in response. This clearly states why I'm confused to why he responded saying it's the same as webprice. Also, PYSpeed is selling the product, not Tbone. 2. OP was mad or disappointed because of the price I quoted him. He started a discussion on the sale thread to a customer stating the price. Other customer came in and also posted pricing on the thread. I closed the thread because private pricing being posted on the thread would cause issues with other's being confused about promotions. This might also create an issue if we decide to have different promotions in the future. After closing the thread, OP decided to come into the new thread and give a personal opinion of his own. Mods decided to remove his post because of his code of conduct. It was probably my fault that I did not get back to Tbone regarding new promotions and new pricing after his initial PM. Either way, I can only say it's "miscommunication"... But to be fair on all ends. We don't post pricing on the forums because each customer may have different discount (if he or she is a returning customer, or are buying multiple items at once). Manufacturers also throw specials at different time periods during the year. This is something we give back to our customers. In the end, the use of still seems to be correct. I'm not BS-ing customers or had the intention of doing so (web price is clearly different form the promotion I gave). This will also be my final response from a sales person point of view. Quote:

Regarding your request to reply to your PM that your price was too high: I PM'ed IND because I had ordered and paid for a product which they told me was in stock. My PM to them was a follow-up on shipping status. If I ask for a quote, and your initial PM to me is high, I don't feel a need to PM you back saying it's too high. My opinion is that there are enough vendors in this forum where it makes sense to PM a potential customer an aggressive price from the beginning, without the need from my side to further negotiate a price. Different styles from both parties I guess. I can turn the question back to you as well, Sean. You asked why I didn't PM you. I can ask why you didn't PM me to either explain things or ask my side. It's all moot now. Like Sean, I've said what I wanted to say so I'm signing off this thread too. Thanks everyone for sharing your opinions. |

I still think you escalated something to a level that didn't need to be at. I don't think anything that occurred is shady by any means Shady would mean if they took payment and decided to start ignoring you, which happens quite often from some vendors with some products. I'm not sure if your expectations come from other forums or other industries...but I don't think anything that happened (different price quotes, emoticon, thread being deleted, you being asked to delete this thread) is shady by any means. Each action has a specific reason to it. I think you may read into things too much and over think. I think vendors should take note of this thread and either A) work super super carefully with you... or B) Just flat out tell you they can't do business with you (and explain why so you don't make a thread saying they're shady for not doing business with you). After being on the forums for years... I've never seen someone overreact on something so miniscule... You should PM and speak directly with the individual regarding an issue before blowing it out of proportion. YOU should PM, not the other party, as the other party (in this situation) probably had no idea who you really are and/or why you're upset, since all did put that they were confused. You guys have reached a conclusion of some sorts, but I feel it's unfair PY received even one bit of negative rep from this thread you created. You gained nothing and you helped no one (imo), yet you may have hurt PY. Quite unfair imo

I'm not a vendor so I don't know how it works. Is there a fixed price or something? or is it variable based on the manufacturer? This I'd like to know..

i'm pretty sure the vendor themselves can defend their argument, and don't really need you, and it seems as though they've delivered their points, and the OP has delivered his... where are you coming from with all this arbitrary defense and useless thread perpetuance?

It just bothers me when people make review threads without (imo) enough merit. And when you have 15k posts and be on as much as me, you tend to comment and get involved in most threads . But this last post was because I'm genuinely curious about the "why do others get different prices" so I was hoping to get a response from someone who may know the real answer. Hence why the post itself is nothing buy questions and questions. Make sense?

and for you to say that he only hurt PY's rep by posting this thread and didn't help himself or anyone else is foolish. he helped me and seems like he helped plenty of other board members here to avoid PYSPEED because of their shady business practices...IMO i've just never seen a member here so avidly defend a company, unless you guys are best friends or something.

As, to my recollection, the OP was saying that Sean was being shady because he used this emoticon: Which to me, = confused, and does not equal calling someone a liar or BSing. Thus, till now, I still don't see how if one uses a emoticon equal him being shady. So, to my understanding from what i read that the op said, there was nothing shady done by PY. To this, my statement that PY's reputation was hurt and nothing was gained stands: I still do not understand how PY was shady, thus the fact that members (you yourself included), feel the need to avoid them because you feel they did something shady (Which I still do not see how anything shady occurred), does hurt them without providing anything beneficial. If PY had taken his money and then changed the price, or took his money and didn't ship it, or took his money and shipped something defective and didn't change it, or took his money and whatever negative happened, then yes I would agree they did something shady. Now, if my recollection is wrong, and/or I understood incorrectly, then yes that changes things. But to me, I still do not see how PY did anything shady at all. (maybe you could explain it in cliff notes to me) And who said my questions were geared toward the Op? They weren't meant for him to answer at all.... I do not understand at all why you would assume this... it's quite obvious the op doesn't know how vendors work (for one, he isn't a vendor), so it's rather straight forward that the questions were meant for vendors and/or someone who is familiar with how vendors on this site work. I do not see why or how you would assume I expected the OP to be able to answer the questions... I don't personally care about PY as much as I care about vendors and people as a whole. I find it unjust when someone's (or a business's) reputation it tainted without merit. Regardless of who it is. However, if there is merit, then that someone (or business) deserves to have his reputation tainted. It's late and I have been working all week and all day today, so I am quite exhausted; my apologies if for any grammar/typos/non-coherent statements etc.

Plain and simple, people shouldn't be quoted different advertised prices. Sure some members are entitled to discounts if they get certain packages, but the fact that vendors pm special pricing to certain individuals for 1 product at a time eventually reveals itself and turns into a shit storm such as this. the problem here is that the OP was quoted a different (higher) price than another member, and that didn't sit well with him. Who would that sit well with? on this page alone, several key features of this thread still have not been addressed, such as the question i re-quoted above. It seems as though you've made up your mind about defending PY's case, and it seems the other 50 members that chimed in this thread are against them as well, perhaps if you would sympathize with the OP instead of attacking how he handled things and questioning bs minute details about business operation, we would have solid and definitive answers. My concern with your posting style is that you're literally answering like a vendor but dumbing down certain aspects of your "defense." I've never seen a member here so self-righteously stand and defend a vendor, especially when such a thread does not affect your well-being or your business ventures. Moreover, your responses literally generate the type of excuses that most of us see vendors put out. You play dumb by posting an excuse then following it by, "maybe PY can clarify for us" or "i'm not a vendor so idk, but they should chime in" Point being, I don't like the way PY handled this issue up until a few posts ago, where they came in and apologized, but they still seem to think that it's ok to quote different prices to different people, hence the fact that they've lost my business and a few other members that I can see posting this is thread alone. So i guess when it's all said and done, the fact that this thread has merit or not, is a matter of our (30+ members) and your perspective. Which is fine, to each their own.

I got a quote from PYspeed for a arkym lip recently bc my lip got damage by the dealer and needed replaced. Was quoted a third higher than what i purchased 2 years ago. I was told price has gone up (understandably) and that was a HOOKUP price for being a return customer. Decided to go a different route. (no harm, no foul) Got a new lip from somewhere else and at the shop where i got my lip installed (LTBMW) i happened to strike up a conversation with another customer regarding arkym lip. He told me he was quoted $$$ shipped. I was thinking, wow, that was cheaper than my price and i was a return customer.
Bottom line, no big deal for me. Dont like the price, dont buy. But, it just begs the question, was i being hustled bc i sounded like i really needed a replacement? who, knows and who cares. Anyway, that was the story. Im bored. Just felt like sharing.

I wonder how much of his life the OP has wasted writing back and fourth in this thread. Simple enough: you don't like how you're treated? You're not obligated to buy from them. End of story. I feel like a simple phone call could have cleared this up to begin with.
