I seriously doubt that these are your true underlying motivations for making a buying decision… most consumers act based on price & convenience… if you are in the US it is probably better that you buy from us based business so you can have better recourse for warranty claims & also lower postage costs.
Even if you hate my guts and think I’m nasty… if I drop my price on the 6374 R-SPEC to it’s cost price you would want one… If the vesc was $50 you would probably buy it from me…
This is the challenge of running business… I could drop my prices and maybe have more customers… but eventually, the business would fail…
Price is only one piece of the puzzle, there are many other elements, you must have a very compelling offer, so good that the consumer has no choice but to buy it… I need to work on my offer more & more… hence why i am moving some manufacturing & fulfillment to US
Anyway…I suppose I could be nicer to everyone on this forum & try to get more business… but I also don’t want to be fake either… do you really think torque boards likes everyone? he just doesn’t speak his mind in public…
At the end of the day I would prefer just to be honest & open and speak my mind… be true to myself… i think there are plenty of people that can respect that.
Well before enertion I worked in a retail environment for many years selling computers & other tech stuff which required me to be polite & happy and have the customer is always right kind of attitude… well that fucks with your mind eventually… You end up hating yourself… and your customers also start to see through the fake personality…
I decided when I started enertion that i would just be straight up honest with everyone… no bullshit, call it how it is… i knew some folks would get hurt by this attitude… but I feel fucking great about it… being true to yourself and honest is so relieving.
This doesn’t mean i don’t have empathy, though…
So I am sorry if I hurt or your little hearts.
