WOJ,
I'm afraid I don't understand your problem with VPW. I happen to own a small business (and I mean SMALL). If my competition were to raise their prices on a product, I would rejoice in knowing that I can sell the same for less, which makes me more competetive, which brings me more market share, which makes me more money. Capitalism at work. If you can't make a decent profit from your product or efforts, its YOUR problem. Don't be whining about the prices at VPW. They are the ones who live with the consequences of their actions and if no one buys manuals at $90, then they will probably lower their prices. If they can't keep manuals in stock at $90, they will probably raise their prices. I listen to vendors whine about slow shows and not making enough money, but they show up every year like clockwork.
You are the FIRST business I have ever heard of that will not post their contact information because you can't handle the volume of replys and requests, yet you whine that the shows are so slow and you can't do any business. Which is right?
Bottom line is you should thank VPW for making you more competative. Stop whining and start selling. You have a forum full of people here that would love to buy parts for less. Instead of whining about Joe and VPW, pull the curtain back and lets see who the wizard really is.
