Andy's hooked me up twice and done the same for a few others that I know. Contact him and he'll hook you up.

I shopped around and Andy didn't want to make any deals with me. Only a discount on accessories which everyone does.

Try Mike at Southwind Kayak Center. He's got 18 months 0% financing, but was willing to knock off some $$ paying cash so I went that route

I also picked up my Elite 7 HDI finder/GPS from thegpsstore.com They were $60 under everywhere else for my unit and you save sales tax. They have free shipping as well as 2nd day air for only $9.95 if you want it fast.

And I am sure you deserved a deal walking in off the street, or just calling as the case may be, for all you do in the kayak community. Your first post and you are already making so many friends. You can invest in a relationship or you can save a few bucks.

Yes I am new to kayak fishing.

I was replying to the OP's post, stating hes "shopping kayak stores and looking for a really good price." Which is what I did recently and shared the two places I found my answer. Regarding a relationship, if you believe you need to buy from Andy before he will help you I think you have the wrong opinion of him. He and the other staff answered my questions and spent time with me. But when I lined every shop up Mike had the best offer for me and that is all I was sharing for the OP. I didnt say Andy was a bad guy, I just found a better deal elsewhere is all.

I don't remember reading anywhere to follow or post on this forum requires that you are now committed to OEX exclusively. He didnt make a sale this time but ill be back next time I need gear and maybe we will, thats the beauty of a competitive market. I conduct myself with the idea that at the end of the day the owner runs a business. No matter how nice he was to me he's in business to make a profit and therefore im looking to get the best deal

DING! DING! DING!

No one ever wrote or said that it was mandatory to buy from OEX but do you think this site runs on the occasional 'Thank You'? Or on the occasional 'Andy is a great guy!' comment?

If you owned a car shop and your past or present customers were posting threads on your website telling everyone else to go see Joe down the street for a better deal how would that make you feel? If you want to get yourself or someone else a better deal perhaps you should try telling them in a not so public way. I can assure you that if this was my site I would delete that thread without evening thinking twice about it.

Once again Jorge has stumbled onto the truth.
