[QUOTE="Gerbert, post: 7607491, member: 5971"] I buy about 90% at one dealer. Not because he is the cheapest, not because he has the best brands, but because he proved to be honest, gives great service and is well located. I like to deal with people that can be trusted on their word. When that is not the case, financials have to show that is worth the risk. To give an example, I recently bought a 4 rotor rake without even signing something. It showed up far earlier then expected and because the dealer didn't have inside storage I put it in my shed months before paying. And that wasn't the dealer I buy about 90% from. To ad another example: me and my father where at a hardware/tool dealer to buy some bolts and screwdriver bits, value would be 25 ish euro. My father knew the guy that runs the shop. Their policy was that we had to show ID and pay the first order with cash in order to have an account. We paid with cash alright and never went there again. We get our tools at a guy that put a multiple of that amount on our new account after we saw him for the first time, probably spent about 10k there a few good years down the line. [/QUOTE]
