Does it feel like you are being strung along? In other words, just when all of you are fed up and are about to unite to stand together as a group and say:
"all of us get a quality product as ordered and promised or no one will"
(accept a pair while another forum member either gets a bad pair or nothing at all) just when your at that point your told something that makes you all excited and then:
you start elbowing each other over who gets a pair and when?
My point here is as each of you break away from the group and don't stand together, the number of dissatisfied people becomes smaller and smaller. I would think that is what a dishonest business person(s) is hoping for. As a large group any legal action is much easier, but for a small group you'll give up and he will keep your money-you won't have skirts or a pair of crap skirts. Hard call but your already out the $500 so why not put the screws to a person (s) who are counting on you giving up or counting on you to look out for yourself before another member.
Now Frank he's screwed no matter what!
How ya doing there, sitting down much these days?
