Why is it when someone (me) passes on positive information about a product or company they get accused of getting kickbacks for the info. First example-I posted last night about a really good experience I had with a company, as well as providing what I thought was some just plain good info for ya'll. I work on all types of equipment, from lifting cranes to lawn mowers, day in and day out, and I'm always running into new stuff and having to do the research to figure out what's going on. When I find something interesting or whatever I try to pass it on and save someone else the headaches I went through. I got several nice responses to my post last night but there had to be one that accused me right off of getting a kickback from the company, as well as telling me that the products in question were available elsewhere. I don't know what part os sole US distrubitor that person didn't understand but what that means is that all those other places have to buy from the company in question. They then put their markup on it and sell it to everyone else. Personally I preffer to go straight to the source and save a buck whenever possible.----- -Second example-Awhile back I recomended a certain brand of oil and grease that I and several of my customers have had great success with. I guess because I spoke of it in such a positive manner, again I got accused of getting kickbacks. Heck it's good stuff, did the people who accused me want me to lie?----- I think the only thing I've strongly recommended on here, that I didn't get accused of getting a kickback for, was the Swench Wrenches..... ya'll didn't know I had a deal with Ebay did ya'll. I've made a killing off all those auctions...LOL.... ----Seriously, what is it with some people that they automatically have to think your being compensated by a company if you recomend their products. This is the real world folks, not Hollywood, and I'm a skint knuckle field mechanic, not Brad Pitt. If I find something good that saves me money and I can steer one of my customers, or anyone else for that matter, in the right direction and save them some money too, that, to me, is just being a good person. I guess whatever is going on there always has to be one in the bunch though and that's what makes the world go 'round. Ok, just had to vent, I'm done now. Hope ya'll all have a great weekend.....
