there have become way too many vendors or this website, its like every other user has vendor status. when guys with no shop can become a vendor it makes me wonder what it takes to become one.. and what is the deal with all these guys from the east coast advertising there shit? this is SOCALevo why are there vendors who are based on the east coast? IMO there needs to be less vendors or it needs to be harder to become one.......

i think the vendors are paying mucho dinero to be on this site. i doubt the admin is gonna delete or deny people with the buku bucks that pay for server costs etc.

True. They do pay the bills so if they want to pay then I say let them. But I do think that having a physical store or shop should be a requirement though.

The rule is when you can count you use the word "fewer".Â* Since we can count the number of vendors, one would say "fewer vendors".

When it's an amount that you can't count it, like water, or common sense, English grammar dictates the use of the term "less".

At least that's how I learned it.

Just out of curiosity.Â* What would the right number of vendors be and how should the site determine who is in and who is out?Â* What if Tony from RRE or Chris from Tunning Technologies decided to get back in the game with no shop?Â* I might let either one of them wrench on my car but by your IMO, they'd be banned?Â*

Wouldn't it be better to let the "market" sort out who advertised and who didn't rather than a few guys who run the site?Â* Not that I have anything against them, but they're not exactly Angie's List.Â* I'd suggest you try the search button and if you don't see anything good or bad on the vendor, you let someone else be a guinea pig.

Sorry if I came off like an asshole.Â* I'm grouchy tonight.

I just looked at the vendor list and I'm fine with all of them. If you don't want to browse their threads, don't. There used to be others that I could say would not be missed but this list is a-ok with me.

alot of online stores and whatnot are run from a warehouse only. i dont see the need for a physical store or shop when there are plenty of those sprinkled all over socal or the states for that matter. IMO theres too many little shops and places trying to sell car parts.

Buyer's Corner has been made for a certain reason... You can always ask for feedback if you happen to be uncertain about a "vendor" here in SCE.

Do people really like that shit? "Vendors" sell things like hot dogs and tee shirts. Buy your parts from a "Shop". I know we dont "vend" EVO parts. Sounds like you put quarters in the slot and out comes an EVO trinket. We build fast cool cars.

I got "vended" the last time I was at RRE and I walked funny for a week afterwards...but my car was faster so its all good

2 of the "vendors" or "Shops" in my sig have no storefront, but I trust them completely due to my experiences with them. That being said, any vendor without a bricks and mortor business has to work harder to earn my business or trust
