Welcome to our forum.
True, he should not perform his presentation in that manner. The Bullfrog dealer should also be taken to task for his shady reply regarding the matter of sales tax collection. THAT is something that could get solo into serious legal trouble.Some folks just shouldn't be in this industry. :-/Terminator
It is truly a tale of woe. I have only told it once before, but as I am never one to withhold information from the fine folks on this forum, I will share this story with you. I only hope that it will not be too much for you to bear.Once upon a beautiful fall morning, much as this very one and not too long ago, I was busily resting on my laurels in the back office when the titillating door chime sounded in the showroom announcing a visitor. Naturally, I began salivating like Pavlov's dog at the mere thought of lining my pocket with ill-gotten booty.As is my custom, I briefly hesitated before entering the showroom in order not to frighten my quarry into an expedient retreat from my lair. After approximately 30 seconds, I wiped the froth from my lips, put on my pants, and strode confidently and expectantly into the arena.No one was there. Very, very strange.As I turned dejectedly to resume my inactivity, a gruff voice emanated from the front of my establishment."Is innybody here?!" the voice rumbled."Um, yes sir...where are you?" I queried."Down here, young feller, lookin' at this wangdoozler jacoozi."As I walked trepidly past the large Vanguard in the middle of the store, I hesitantly gazed around it's beatifully arched corner to behold a sight that chilled me to the boner.Down on the floor, fervently running his hand over the taupe exterior of a Solana TX, was a 60 year old gentleman. The unfortunate soul was equipped with no appendages below his waist. In fact, the only visible appendages were his head and one long, muscular arm which was gripping the edge of the shell with an eager clinch as if he were holding onto a precarious precipice over some unfathomable depth."Well, don't stand there like a ninny...gimme a boost so's I can see inside!" he chided."Yes sir!" I says whilst lifting up his surprisingly hefty girth."Say now, that there is a fine and dandy lookin' tub. It'd be perfect fer my bedroom. Lemme down now, son" he instructed. "How much dis cost?""$3795 with cover, delivery, set up, and chemicals," I proudly exclaimed.Then, I beheld a sight that can only be described as a joyful pirouette of the infirmed and insane. He began loudly whooping and traversing in a circular pivot on his good arm while flapping his withered "flipper" which slightly protruded from his right shoulder. He managed about 4 360 degree spins before slowing down and shouting "Hot damn, write me up!""Yes sir! We can deliver it tomorrow if you'd like?"He liked, we did, and I've never seen him again.True story, every bit, except for me drooling.Terminator
Agreed, but I've heard many salespeople from different industries give the ole' "cash no tax" routine.
Thanks for the story Uncle Term, I'm going to have a nap now.......night, night
We're going to wet test a 682 today does anyone have any thoughts on Bullfrog spas? The other brand we are looking at is Hot Springs THANKS
But I like them. It will probably be the next spa I make an offer on. But I still need to look at Caldera and Jacuzzi. SoloLet me know how you liked the neck jets on the caldera. also jacuzzi has a new jet, i forget what they are calling it"xr" i think???Let me know how you liked that one.Good hunting
WOW WHAT A SOAK!! Now price, one dealer wants $9850 the other wants $9405 for the same exact spa the cheaper price comes from a retailer that looks like she is going out of business and her "techs" are her 20 something kids the higher price is from a dealer that has a great looking place a service dept and has an electrician he works with and a construction dept if I need it. I'm thinking I might pay a few bucks more rather than chance it with the "cheaper" dealer (you get what you pay for)
I would go with the better outfit just for the peace of mind after the sale. I just had a minor issue with a jet and the auxillary panel in my tub. One call to my dealer, they show up while I was at work and it's all fixed. They even delivered some chemicals I needed. In my opinion, the extra money with a strong dealer is worth it.
He also is going to give me 30 days to switch and try ANY/ALL jet packs I want so I get the ones that work for me
The neck jets on the Caldera were the only part of the spa I didn't care for. Great lower back massage, comfy seats, very nice power on the jets. The neck jets were OK, but the head rest was restricting and awkward. Everyone has different tastes, but I don't think any spa can do "neck jets" adeqautely for me. Particularly because my neck needs massaged up near the base of the skull. For me, I'm gonna have to duck down in any spa to get my neck the way it needs it.
Anyone know if there is a Bullfrog dealer in Austin/central Texas?txwillieEast texas spa
Never thought of that one, doesn't he sell one of those "brand X" spas?
