  1. I hear you man. It's all good.

    This is one of those things where there are many sides to the matter.

    from one standpoint, the consumer, it's understandable that they want the best value and lowest price they can get. I'm a consumer!

    I don't own a business but have managed in a multibillion dollar one and a mom and pop shop so I know how they both work.

    In this particular case I'm siding with the business owner and want to see his best interest protected.

    At the end of the day it's CJ's call as to how and if he implements this program. He knows how much capitol he is working with and what type of losses, if any, he is willing to accept. Anything in business is a gamble. I think one think everyone here can agree on is they don't want to see him fail! :)

  2. being billed full boat up front is the incentive to return on time and in good condition and for CJ good insurance that he doesn't lose money.

    I explained this in my reply earlier that no one is going to rent having to put up more than the rental fee. If I have the money to buy one than why would I not just buy it for $150, than sell it for the going rate of $100-125 and I don't have to worry about how long I have it for? or I can buy a used one for $100-125 use it than sell it for about what I paid for it. the point of renting is to not pay full price just imagine if Redbox charged you $15 to rent a DVD than gave you back the difference of rental fee and payment when you returned the DVD. seriously I hope it works out for you but being someone that has walked this path, i'm just saying.

    why are you quoting me? I was explaining why CJ said 100% full deposit in post #45

    but I still agree with him

    Your line of thinking may be valid for some people but not all. There are plenty of people willing to do just that. Just cause I have the money to buy it out right means nothing. So because I can afford it means I wanna buy it, fuck no. I can recognize the fact I will never use it enough to justify the out right purchase and at the same time as a SMART consumer understand that a business has to protect itself. Yes, I said it, the average consumer is stupid.

    call me a dick but if you cant afford to rent a tool that cost under $200 with that full $200 as deposit to tune a luxury item, that's what car audio is, then maybe your priorities in life are just that fucked up. how bout that?! prioritize your life, and if you cant pay to play then don't play. Without bringing this thread completely off the rails, I hope CJ does figure it out in a matter that works for all but more importantly in a manner that PROTECTS HIM 1ST!

    I've been in the business world long enough to see a lot of small businesses go under trying to do right by their customers 1st and them 2nd... it doesn't work. and guess who's there to help that business owner when he's out on the street with his dick in the wind, NO ONE!

  3. so how are you going to account for DOA items? You ship it to me and I say doesn't work or vice versa.... You know the answer both sides are gonna say is, "worked fine when I shipped it"

    also, who's interpretation of " normal wear and tear" is gonna be used? You know there's going to inevitably bd minor wear on I and ill be damned if I'm going to be charged for theme tool.

    and as far as shipping I concerned, is return shipping included in the rental fee? Better have tracking and insurance as a must.

    all these factors drive up the cost of mail order rentals and sometimes make the hoops and cost not worth the effort. In addition making a contractual agreement on an item sight unseen isn't always the best business practice.

    have you thought out how long and how many rentals it would take to recoup your initial cost of the tool and how much longer after that the tool can remain in use to garner profit? Your time and effort have to be factored in also, its not going to ship itself and how much time and effort would it take to fight a deadbeat customer???

    just looking at thus from a business standpoint is all. Great idea for a storefront, logistical nightmare for mail order

  4. even if I wasn't a cop....

    1) once someone goes hands on its a lot more than shoplifting! I was in in fear of my life, trigger pulled. / thread

    2) I gotta ask, why would you be in your car with your weapon exposed where someone could grab it let alone let them get close enough to punch you. I grew up in the hood so you never got caught snoozing at a light.

    you are right though, talking about doing it and being put in that situation are different worlds.

  6. don't let your frustrations give you diarrhea of the keyboard. As long as they take care of it be happy. It seems once again someone has gone out of their way to post about an issue b4 going straight to the source to get the issue resolved. How come we never see threads saying I went to the source and they took care of me, thanks for great c\s.

    so if I buy a new car and within the first week the radiator springs a leak I can go back and tell them I want a whole new car?

    ok
