I am sorry, but I do not want to do business with you.
FrenchID and EagleSport are my territories, so stop asking. I have an exclusive distributership contract with both companies, so the only way to get products from FrenchID or EagleSport is through me, and that will not happen. I doubt you can do "ten times more business" than me. Just because my website is simple, it doesn't mean it doesn't get any business. We make WAY more than you can imagine.
Thank you,
Gino
PS: I don't think you can invest over 20 grand in products.

Let me refresh your memory:

Hello Andrew,
I heard you wanted to do some business with FrenchID and EagleSport.
I can easily get you anything you want, for a very cheap price, but it will first have to go through me. EagleSport and I have signed a contract to exclusive distributorship for the United States. I will soon sign a contract with FrenchID.
Please respond to this email, because the last one I sent was probably not received.
I would like to become very good business parters with you, Andrew, so please tell me what you want to do.
Thanks,
Gino

Aside from being totally confused by what you just posted let me first start by saying (which I have told you a dozen times already): I HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME:
scooterresource@gmail.com
So instead of making a scene on SR and making yourself and the companies you represent look like complete... You could have just sent me the pricing I requested THREE TIMES. You are the DISTRIBUTOR dude! Do you even know what that means??? It most certainly does NOT mean that you go on a power trip and use your contract to try and screw over other people who have been dealing with these companies for a lot longer than you have. They were depending on you to represent their companies here in the United States. All I asked for was pricing... SIMPLE REQUEST
I'm also not going to get in a pissing match with you about who does more business than who because I have an established business and a reputation to uphold and that is just beyond "unprofessional" but I will point out a few very clear facts: Your website has no members whereas mine has over 10,000. My website has been online for 6 years while yours is brand new. People know who I am because I make a point in people knowing who I am so they feel comfortable doing business with me not to mention I have been involved in this sport since day one. You on the other hand are just some guy talking big on the internet. What does all this mean? It means that the only reason you are getting 90% of the business you are getting is because you are telling people on MY website to buy wheels from YOUR website. Don't be so naive to think that business is just magically flocking to you because you are awesome. You never asked for permission to advertise on SR but I allowed it because you were their distributor and I was going to sell their products which means we help each other out. That is not the case anymore.
Sorry Marcel and French ID but if you want me to carry your stuff still you need to contact me directly at
scooterresource@gmail.com because I am not dealing with this kid.
