That comment shows you have no idea at all.
Ask the new owner Lew hom much work he is doing and how hard it is, and then you might realise that there is way too much work for just one person. Especially at times when I was receiving over 100 emails a day.
I'd like to see you try Start your own business, run and manage it all by yourself, buy parts, organise everything, pick them up and deliver, package them, strip half cuts, cars and engines, and answer 24,000 emails over the past 12 months, complete over $360,000 worth of sales, operate on 4 forums, and do it all from a at home office -- By your self.
Untill you try it - dont judge me for it. You have no idea.

Firstly, does bitching and moaning help anyone? seriously?
I have done business with Kristian in the past, and he has always found me what i was after at a FUCKING SENSATIONAL price(sorry mods it adds enphasis). Yes he was slow at replying, yes he may not have the worlds best personal skills or business management skills, but what he lacked on there he made up for with TICKER, which is what half you SKIRTS dont have and will always envy the guys that have it.
bottom line, he had way too much business for a one man operation, he realised it and chose not to expand and intead of letting down clients in the future decided to sell the business. did you ever think maybe he wasnt the reason for the parts taking longer or getting lost in the mail, maybe it was the distributor in Japan holding onto parts or losing them, although he was the intermediatry for the sale, he would have limited power to get things to happen faster.
i was one for hassling him to expand and keep the business, even at the cheap prices he let things go for he could make a lot of money and help a lot of people. But he has other passions to follow in regards to a career.
Now hows that, i am still waiting on parts but i am postive and thankful to him.
instead of whinging like little bitches and being envious of people going faster, having more money, having better cars or having more TICKER, either get out there and do it yourself or go home and pull those pathetic little penises you all have.
J
P.S, all the best Lew with the future of the business.

i have owned a business and operated it successfully for the last 2 years, you are right it is a lot of damn work! but one thing i know is you only take on what you can handle and always make sure current customers are dealt with before taking on more,
all the best in the future
