Roadster Renovations....poof!

Did Doc decide to pull his "stuff" from the site? I found his site online, and placed an order, so no big deal there...just curious why he's no longer on the "Home" page

Things here are changing. Some SL's like the changes and some don't. Time will tell.

Interesting....

may be a cost issue as in some cases Lamonster garage distributes the product or a similar one. I saw JT Machine shop also left but you can reach him directly. Don't know th e issue with TricLed but they are also gone. You gotta justify the cost....:dontknow:

That's probably it. The expense; some can justify it, some can't.

As long as huis products are still available... that's what really matter! :thumbup:
The same thing for all of the other vendors who have left as well...

So many have left lately I started keeping my own vendor list because you never know who is going next. I started the list when one of my faves Value Accessories left. I hope Doc is still in business he is close by and I need to visit him in the spring for an oil change.

After the passing of his wife and all the medical costs, he also had an issue with the springs on his belt tentioners and had to replace them. It gets difficult to keep things going as they were before.

Would you mind sharing that list? I am sure that there are many of us that would love to have it! Thanks.

Earlier this year an agency I purchased advertised from changed hands. One of the first changes the new owners made was to raise advertising prices by 20% across the board. I reducing my advertising by 50%, and so have a half dozen other local advertisers who use that same agency. Some things just end up having to change for one reason or another.

He's actually been off the home page for quite some time. As others have said I think it was a revenue vs cost issue. Many years ago I owned a print shop. I had a quasi partnership with a guy who published a magazine for Central Idaho. Advertising was, of course, his primary revenue source. I characterized the advertising business this way. "The inability of the advertiser to measure the effectiveness of his advertising is the salvation of the advertising industry!" Not quite the same today with all the online advertising statistics tools available, but still....

His wife and business partner died this summer after an extended hospitalization. He may be struggling to cope with paperwork overload after this very significant loss.

I don't see any advertisers or vendors on the home page.

If they dont pay their invoice, Lamont pulls their advertising.

An opinion that is nonsense.

Thanks, had to shut off ad blocker.

Just whitelist SL in your ad blocking program.

"An opinion that is nonsense".


As nonsensical as it may seem Anthony, it's still happening.
