Crash Gordon said:Are you speaking about the purchase of the DMP bible to become a dealer? I
wasn't real happy with that either if that's what you're talking about. My
dealer ship had lapsed for a year due to illness and I had to re-up, kinda
as a newbie so buying the bible (which I could have written having been a
dealer for 15 years) was kinda dumb...but hey whaddya gonna do.
Actually I did not order the DMP bible, and I was never told I had to. I
was only signing on as a servicing not installing dealer, and I already had
a complete set of manuals from two other sources. I was told I could
download all of the manuals I needed in the future. I had gone through
several rounds where I had been told I was setup, and then I would call to
order something only to be told I couldn't. Ultimately I got Dave on the
phone and he told me I needed to order something on a credit card before
they could do the final step to get me setup. I let him talk me into buying
a Prox Demo keypad. I didn't want it or need it, but it was the easiest way
to get going. I never used it for anything, and I think it was one of the
things I threw away when I moved the office into the new warehouse by my
house. We never talked about several hundred dollars for manuals I already
had. I did not order them, and we never even talked about them. When I
called him back he said he would pick them up at my office and credit me the
charge. That never happened. That was also the last time I heard from Dave
Sharp. He was always too busy and never returned my calls after that. I
was busy and I let it go too long to take it to my credit card company. I
have never purchased so much as a switch from them since. If I can't
justify changing out a DMP product, I go underground to get my parts. I am
afraid to give DMP my credit card number after that, and I long since
canceled that card.
Hows the new house and office doing? I gotta stop by one of these days.
The new house is great. Someday when I'm to crippled to fish all day in
tournaments I may get some landscaping done. The office warehouse is still
in a major state of flux. Between work, family, and fishing The office part
is still only half done. My office and the file room and that's it, and
really only the file room is 100% complete.
Yes, you need to get out this way sometime. We can pretend to go fishing
and spend the day talking about all the headaches of running an alarm
company. LOL. Actually when I have had some time. I have been teaching
myself to MIG weld aluminum. Right now about I'm halfway through repairing
a wrecked aluminum bass boat. It looks like crap, but it will be tough as
an aluminum boat can be when I am done. Actually, I plan to put a jet
outboard on it and use it for my backwater brush buster and shallow water
runner so its looks aren't all that important. Just how well it will hold
up when I find a rock in the middle of some overgrown backwater channel.
Wanna go for a boat ride...... Bwahahahahahaha!
