No, I don't think you're wrong at all. Every time this guy posts something, something else doesn't add up. Website says it's "The largest online DH Exhaust Aftermarket Company", yet I dunno.

Wow, you guys do your homework on people. LOL. I am the real thing here. We did start up on ebay in 2008 with a store and have done ok with that. Problem with them is they charge way to much for transactions, then they hand it off to paypal and they take another cut of the pie. It sucks. We came up with the idea of the Truckpipestore.com because there really isnt a lot of manufacturers selling thier items direct to the public. We wanted to try and give them the upper hand. We also have to be careful not to **** off the OEM's repair business.
E-mail is Comcast instead of their own domain server. They've been on
eBay since March, 2208, tho.
I used my personal comcast address to save money. There is no sense in ****ing money away in the wind when you can use the resources your already paying for. Do you feel it would be better to have a dedicated email address? Will that increase my sales? Probably not. I might look more professional to do that though.
And, they manufacture 25,000 truck pipes a day at their manufacturing facilities throughout North America, including being the OEM supplier for every major truck brand, and even John Deere, except that I've delivered too many tractor pipes from a specific OEM manufacturer to know who makes those, and it's a name that was mentioned in another thread as being NOT Truckpipes. So I dunno.
We have made plenty of Tractor Pipes in our facilities. Did you by chance go to Clinton, TN to pick these up?? Or Fort Wayne, IN???
I think the Truckpipes Web site looks and reads like it was created and designed by the same guy who did the one for McClain Logisticss that made McClain Logistics appear to be one of the 10 largest trucking companies in the country when in reality it was one guy in a straight truck.
I designed the webpage myself. I have been working really hard to make it look and feel good to the customer. You guys sure are picky.. But thats ok. You have an opinion and I dont mind clearing the air about who we are.
I think they've got a nice little retail and mail order aftermarket pipe thing going, and it's growing a bit, but that they're exaggerating a bit, too. Just because you obtain your parts from an OEM manufacturing supplier doesn't mean that you are an OEM manufacturing supplier, too.
We are the manufacturer, we do make our own pipes and we also sell some of the Grand Rock pipes. We have relationships with a lot of people in the business. We are the SOLE channel supplier of the parts we make. So when you say that we are not an OEM manufacturer supplier, We really are. No kidding.
Just like obtaining and selling an electrical generating device, and it's a patented device, doesn't mean you own the patent. Plus, patents don't get confirmed, they get awarded. If you're waiting to get it "confirmed," then it's patent-pending, and there's no reason not to talk about it. Just the opposite, in fact. Maybe there's a NDA on it or something.
Why are we picking apart each word for word that I say? Just wondering. I think you know what I mean when I say confirmed.
We are working on something similar to others out there, we just have a different spin on the idea.. thats all.. A NDA is used to not disclose ideas or drawings that someone owns. If you own a business and its big enough that you have to protect information, you use a NDA. Plain and Simple.
Here is the definition: An NDA is a legal contract between at least two parties that outlines confidential material, knowledge, or information that the parties wish to share with one another for certain purposes, but wish to restrict access to by third parties. It is a contract through which the parties agree not to disclose information covered by the agreement. An NDA creates a confidential relationship between the parties to protect any type of confidential and proprietary information or trade secrets. As such, an NDA protects non-public business information.
Oh, wait, what were we talking about?
