[Geoff]

Any chance they'll be showing up in Canada sometime soon (specifically, near Vancouver)?

[DannyG]

Dude...what am I missing here???

1. durometer(s) available?
2. MSRP(s) anticipated???
3. basic anticipated list of regional contact points???

Here you have about 1,000 serious core inline hockey people asking pertinent questions, and you can answer them directly, in front of everybody...

...and all anybody gets is "email me..."

Hey, dude, answer the questions, eh? Please do NOT continue to be so rude, how 'bout?!?

I agree with Danny G. Could you please give me some info!

[Superstar9]

Are you planning on carrying them danny? They're a bit pricy I know that. But from what I know they are the top of the market now or will be. I plan to carry them but I dont know how well they'll sell in our region because of the price.

[rinkrat15]

Were working on it right now, hopefully orders will be taken in a few weeks in Canada.Maybe sooner, I will keep you informed..Mike

First off let me say that your post danny was a bit over the edge. But in saying that I have no worries in supplying the info, I have posted my phone number and personal email on this board so people can find out directly what's going on instead of a blanket statement. but for you Danny here it is:
2 brands Hornet and Hotshot
they come in 80,76,72,68,59mm
they come in 2 grips XX GRIP WHICH IS 72A AND X GRIP THAT IS 74A.
WHOLESALE FOR THE WHEELS IS $6.20 PER WHEEL
MSRP IS 96.00

WITH BULK ORDERS YOU CAN GET THE PRICE DOWN TO 6.01 PER WHEEL.

THEY WILL BE AVAIABLE NATION WIDE WITHIN 4 WEEKS.
OUR REPS ARE OUT GETTING ACCOUNTS AS WE SPEAK.
WE WILL BE UPDATING RINKRAT.COM WITH A DEALER LOCATOR.
IF WE DONT SELL THEM IN YOUR AREA THE CONTACT ME AND I WILL GET YOU WHEELS.

LISTEN GUYS, OUR WHEELS ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD, HANDS DOWN. IGLOO SPORTS WERE THE FIRST STORE IN THE COUNTRY TO GET THEM IN FEASTERVILLE ,PA . I GOT A CALL FROM JOE LAST NIGHT"ONE OF THE OWNERS" AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE FIRST SET THEY SOLD WAS TO A GUY NAMED JEFF. HE SAID THAT JEFF CAME BACK TO THE STORE AND SAID THEY WERE THE BEST HES EVER BEEN ON. SOMETHING WE ALREADY KNEW. JUST 1 PERSON OF MANY.

THESE WHEELS ARE PERFORMANCE DRIVEN, WE AREN'T FOR EVERYONE. WE ARE THE MOST EXPENSIVE WHEEL IN THE WORLD, THIS IS TRUE. BUT ASK YOURSELF THIS SIMPLE QUESTION....

IF OUR WHEELS LAST 4 TIMES LONGER THEN ANY WHEEL ON THE MARKET AND YOU ONLY HAVE TO BUY 2-3 SETS A YEAR INSTEAD OF 8-10 SETS OF WHAT YOUR USING THEN ARE OUR WHEELS REALLY THE MOST EXPENSIVE...

TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU THIS, GET ON THEM ONCE, JUST ONCE AND YOU WILL SHAKE YOUR HEAD IN AMAZEMENT.

THERE SO GOOD ITS LIKE CHEATING, HONESTLY WE COULD CHARGE 200.00 RETAIL AND THEY WOULD STILL BE WORTH IT.

SO THERE IT IS GUYS, ANYMORE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS CALL ME AT 401 946 4400 EXT 3050

ASK FOR MIKE.

If ya wanna debate it, dude, the correct response would have been, "yeah, fair enough, here's the info..."

-not-

..."your post was a bit over the edge..."

and where does the phrase "blanket statement" come into this??? A direct question deserves a direct answer...at least , that's been a truth in every sales course I've ever taken...

One of my jobs is to try many of the new, high end products as they come out, so I can tell people in my area what's out there. I imagine that a lot of the guys that frequent this discussion group are the same way, as well as looking for any/every edge better equipment can give 'em out on the blue floor. In marketing terms, these are keystone people of your market segment. When they ask a question about durometer and such on this discussion board, there are ten other of these key persons out there wondering the same thing, eh? When you don't give answers, but only more typewritten hype in response to direct questions, it causes people to think negatively about your product and also yourself as the salesman.

Ever buy anything from a salesman that you don't trust?

We all respect what you are trying to say, but you have the concept of directness confused, when it comes to the openess of this discussion board as a communications medium. "Answer the questions," means answer the questions, dude...

Your response to my inquiry was nine paragraphs long. All the information people requested was contained in paragraph number one, then we get to read eight more paragraphs of non-informative, repeated-from-earlier-posts hype...

Incidentally, we are all also interested in the completion of your advertising/sponsorship agreement with Richard Graham, and will anxiously be waiting for your banners to appear in the graphics panels of this internet site...
