Resolved Dealer Thread

[Hinerman]

Can we have a dedicated dealer thread with a list of all the dealers on OPE, and what brands they carry?

This is a great idea! Also they should oist whether or not they are willing to ship parts or saws.

OPEforum GoldMember Owned Shops

GoldMembers can add their related retail shop to this list for all to see. State where you are, what brands you carry or service, and whether you ship parts or whole chainsaws (or other Outdoor Power Equipment).

What are the rules? I am not a dealer. If a dealer wants to be listed, do they need to be a Gold Member? A site sponsor? Doesn't matter, as in no rules?

It says Gold Member owned shops.

It would be nice to have a list of reputable porters, mechanics, services, or chains and accessories. Members or not.and locations. Walk up or mail services. I’d rather deal with someone on here than an unknown.

Reputable is subjective and in the eye of the beholder

If not a GoldMember, one could always pay for advertising space.

But not in any type of order, location, name of business, etc. For a newbie wading in it’s tough figuring things out. You have to do a search, then link the forum name, and then their initials. It took me forever to figure out what XS, SCARR, MMWS, etc., and all the other anagrams meant. Still don’t know them all.

You will pick it up in quick order watching threads. I have never met a bad guy or gal here nor had a bad dealing here either.

Ole "management" keeps us peckerheads in-line

The grift go away.

Still would be nice to find a place that lists who sells chains, bars, saws, ports, repairs, ad nauseam.

I agree. I am actually shopping around for a new Stihl dealer to do business with on the regular, for parts. And I would rather support another member here, than some unknown. My local selections have spiraled downhill the last couple years, due to ownership and customer service changes.

Well this is what happens when folks do not support the good dealers.

That was a rough day for many of us. When they were taking down some of the pictures of the race cars they had built over the years it was real rough. They had an entire section of the west wall full of 18"x24" stock cars that they had built and raced from the 1950's on.

 

[Seachaser]

I support my local dealer, but he doesn’t stock a lot of stuff. He’s more into mowers (bought 2), guns(bunch), and service after the sale.

Plus he doesn’t port, sell certain chains, etc.

Any Gold Members can list themselves, what their stores do or sell, contact info, whether they ship or not.
