Hey Deepwater I was one of the guys that bought a set of wharfedale,s from you. And I really like them.
My question is Are going to get any Ribbons and Why cant I get to your web site?
 
Huh???

Yours truly will be a direct dealer and will happily take care of my HR friends. I'll let you know when you can start placing orders and getting pricing.

You don't have to buy them from me just because I'll sell them to you cheaper than anybody. There are a lot of online resources that will offer them at full price. Fill free to pay extra.

I don't get it... Harvey Gerst gets banned for spamming, but this is okay???

Don't get me wrong.. I have *NO* problem w/ people posting their product(s) here... None.... In fact, I LIKE it... I try to do business w/ these individuals.

My problem is how random enforcement is.

How can Harvey get the boot, but others are permitted to announce their wares?

I'm no DJL... I don't complain about "spam".... and I'm not complaining now about this thread.

I'm actually glad that Deepwater posted about the availablity of Oktave mics, as I like them, and would rather give him the business than GC. Realy.

I guess I'm just shocked about Harvey getting banned....

Seriously, I'm glad that Deepwater made this post, I'm glad we'll all have a source of discounted Oktavas... just confused.... :confused:
 
I feel the same way which I posted over in Harvey's thread. Its just crazy how random moderation is at this place. Harvey has offered so much valuable info to this site, so what if he makes a few bucks off a 20 dollar set of headphones? Same thing with deepwater, as long as his prices are the lower ones and hes posting more than just sales pitches, have at it as far as im concerned. When we "the buyer" win, its a good kind of spam in my opinion.
 
TURN IT DOWN -

I thought my disclaimer would help. Its kind of funny that you deleted the "DISCLAIMER" in your quote of me. I guess that would have took some of your thunder.

I'm just tring to help people save a ton a of money on gear. You should be thanking me for being so kind hearted.

Here it is as posted above in my orignal quote -

So true. Alan Hyatt gets his ass reamed for posting about his products, even when it is useful information about microphones. Here is a thread that is pure "spam" (in the sense that people here use the word), and people are saying "hot shit" because thay think they will get preferential pricing.

I too am not against this type of thread, but what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If commercial advertising is not OK here, then it's not OK for everybody (except Harvey, of course, who has posted more useful information than all others combined, and could sell hot summer Texas cowpies here as far as I am concerned.)
 
If people who contribute to the discussions on these forums let it be known that they have products to sell I have no problem with that. That is far different than unsolicited sales pitches. These people who are in "the business" often have much greater technical knowledge than us ameteurs and I appreciate it when they share their knowledge. If, at the same time, they pitch a little--I think it's ok. Heck, I bought a pair of Warfedale monitors, although I did not buy them from Deepwater. Had that discussion not been taking place in this forum I would never have even known about that product.

I don't think what Deepwater and others who mention they are in the music gear business do is spam.

Hey deepwater, I dont think your last post was directed at me but I just wanted to point out that I don't have a problem with you or what your doing. I think its great that you are able to offer gear at a lower price to us. Obviouslly you are making money off of it and you are out to sell products but at the same time not all of your post are about the stuff you sell. Your ok by me..........
 
Jeez, I thought I made myself clear... :confused:

Deepwater, you left out the part above... I don't get how leaving out the word "DISCLAIMER" changes anything either of us said.

Whatever... read what I posted again, and you'll see that I am glad people like you make products available to us.

I never had any problem w/ you, or your actions. Sorry if you misunderstood.
I think everyone is a little on edge around here lately.

I'm gonna go solder some cable, and have a beer. Take care. :D
 
No hard feelings.

The main purpose of the thread was to let everyone know that Oktava mics will soon be selling in the US. I didn't think it was wrong to add that "I'd take care of my HR friends and that I would be a dealer"

Frankly the fact that DJL did not jump on this right away is an indication that it really was a personal vendetta against one individual.

oh yeah, this thread has nothing to do with the fact that it is basically a free ad on a VERY VERY high traffic BBS......

thank you? you are fucking delussional.......

He's not selling them yet, and everyone already knows he sells stuff. That doesn't make it much of an ad as I see it.

And yeah, you probably should be thanking him. He's a nice, helpful guy.

Oh, wait, I almost forgot. He's actually satan in human form because he made a thread that is related to him selling some mics that people here would be interested in.

Some of you people need to take a chill pill. Honestly, how does something like this hurt anything? What is the problem?

I always find it funny how people who do find this type of thing to be a problem don't seem to find it odd that basically everyone else has no issue with it at all.
 
What? Harvey was banned, and Deepwater's "big heart" into his pockets is allowed?

Well, that's up to who runs this board. It's hypocritcal, but, that's Dragon's choice, not ours. This Board's pretty lame lately, anyway, so...why not spice it up with controversy?
 
Man oh man this is getting beyond a joke. Gidge ... just chill out, ok?

Gidge,

I make $105k a year as sound contractor. I offer deals to HR members because a lot them are lucky to make 25k and work hard for their money. I feel I have a duty to help them save when I can. I make about 10% over my cost when I sell here which is not a lot of money. I'm not doing for money. I'm doing to say thanks for all of the help I get from everyone here.
 
so if you set your margin at 10% its okay to advertise for free here?
 
That just covers the cost of paypal and indirect cost. (ie 3% to paypal shipping charges to me, phone calls etc..) Then add all of the trouble to become a dealer for these companies. I'm picking up Oktava just for you guys. I don't need them for my church installs


I tried to buy an AD here 4 times and Dragon never replied
 
Gimme a break. We all get our say in what we think about deepwater's style, but you just sound like DJL tonight.
