I always thought that this was common knowledge.... for anyone interested I'm selling silver for $0.00 dollars an ounce with $50 shipping per ounce.
You said the president responded, who is the president? Also this is a forum to discuss topics, there is nothing that is said to have a legal situation arise. I stated a obvious point, there is nothing said that downs this company, just stated the truth about a selling technique they used to help sell their product, hopefully the president is not that thin skinned.
Hope that president is not that thin skinned that he can have a topic about his company being spoken about, nothing was said that is out of line, just stated the company uses a certain selling technique to make it easier to buy as a flat price, nothing was said to down that company.
Actually I just finished reading through the postings I refered to. The president is John Maben. Do a google search on him and the thread may come up. Actually the OP in the other thread was complaining and the company made it right.
Found it I think. http://www.cointalk.com/t198705-4/ Read it, and surprised the president of a big company would go to that extent especially with a teen. This was interesting to read.
I didn't make a judgment as I have no interest in the company. I just know that companies have had legal interaction with members, demanding they withdraw certain statement, etc. by pm or email. What is posted remains in internet history for a long time, so if you were doing as you say, discussing techniques that various companies use, why use any names at all?
As a example, there is nothing in anything I said that bad mouthed this company, all that was stated that they were using a very common retail technique to make it seem like the shipping was free. Charge more and make the shipping seem free was what I was speaking about. That's a very normal practice. Just stated that their pricing was nothing special based on the free shipping.
SCFY = Detecto ? I noticed a similar pattern in their posting habits, and I also noticed Tim doesn't respond in the SCFY threads. That all said, why are you posting a thread entirely dedicated to complaining about how a company chooses to price their items? Many companies follow the same policies. Is there a reason you chose to pick on this one?
