Ain't It Something

Well it's finally here. The first ad of the season has been posted! For those of you that don't believe that everything "is as it should be", I was on the phone with a buyer from Harbor Freight in California when I received the e-mail that the first ad of the year was just posted on BFads.net.

Now the buyer at Harbor Freight was not happy with me. I had quoted him on some of the Dehnco Equipment product that is similar to but very different from something sold by a competitor.The buyer basically told me that I was lying to him and truing to cheat him by not selling him the Dehnco Product at a competitors price. He said, "I can't believe that you won't price match". "I thought that I saw that you price match on your website!" I laughed and told him that it was probably more environmentally sound to purchase the products from a local vendor. He said, "So you don't want my business?" I said, "No thanks, Not at that price." He paused a minute, flabbergasted, and then hung up on me.

So I guess we can take Harbor Freight off the Christmas shopping list! That's OK their store is in Palatine anyway and I of course will be in SV. I am hoping that I don't get a call from the Kohl's buyer next. that could be a problem!

In a shocking bit of news,Yours Truly has learned that the JCP snow globes have been held up in US customs. It seems that the liquid inside the globes is made up entirely of the tears of underage female workers in the Chinese factory where they are made. Shocking! I am not sure how this will affect the JCP turnout, but I can tell you that Rory wants "her damn snow globe". This may get messy!

In further distressing news, word has reached us that the animal that is used to make the "Hickory Farms All Beef Smoked Sausage" has gone extinct. The last mating pair, shot themselves to death in an apparent murder/suicide pact. A note was allegedly found next to the bodies blaming the "incredible pressure to re-produce". I am not sure how this will affect the production of "hickory Farms All Beef Smoked Sausage". Only time will tell.

There was no comment from Hickory Farms on the rumor that Hickory Farms is buying up large tracts of prime guinea pig breeding land in Brazil.

More news as it becomes available!
