I agree that there are lots of unfortunate situations out there. It becomes even more apparent when one is in a small business, trying to get ahead.
One example:
I spent quite a bit of time with a manufacturer recently, and finally came to an agreement to sell a product if and when the product was in full production. It takes time and a lot of phone calls and emails to put a deal together like this.
Now, I find another guy, who I though was helping me, in a similar business is advertising them, before I can even get my deal finalized, and start stocking them.
You never know whom to trust.
