Post Why I don't do business.

Unless I am sitting right there.

I have a busy personal life. I did a team a while back for a coach and I didn't accept money until the product was available. Another coach I tweaked at a site I told him that the surface I was tweaking on would render the bases inconsistent on other fields. He said do it anyway then went on other surfaces and was not satisfied. Next time I saw him I pulled the starting safeties off my team and gave them to him. That was the end of that.

When I get my teams detailed, I have used Chris Stacey more than anyone. Very reliable and always on time. He goes out of his way to please you. If you are disatisfied with his work then don't do business with anyone because you have a problem.

Mike Guttman did a Giants team for me. He is very honest and up front and does excellent work. He is on time and keeps you posted.

I tweak my own bases but I have never had a problem with seeing one I like then buying it on site. I do not buy bases site unseen. To me, IMHO, it's like buying from clothes from a catalog without taking measurements.

I will buy bases from Jim Davis. An expert Barterer he delivers what he says he will right then and there.

Steve Martin is also a very honest detailer. Chuck Lawrence is the Bomb and he is just as good as Mike or Chris however he is so busy that I have to get too far in line. That Penn State team I brought from him remains one of the best paint jobs I have ever seen.

Jamel Goodloe is honest as they come. He does his own everything so he doesn't have to deal with any of this and I commend him for that.

Everybody buys their first runs from Jimmy.

That's my experience and I consider all these guys of high morale Charactor.

Some people I haven't dealt with locally so they may be great but I have no first hand experience.

Just my thoughts.
