Ya know, just fo' the record, I have a site, http://www.reenactor-rcg.com where customers can rate their experiences with vendors. Originally, this was for WWII, then branching out for WWI and now later, (after me spending a zillion $$ in programming), it covers all time periods. WHY NOT USE IT? Are people afraid of vendors? Hell, in WWII, it put a few of the really BAD guys out of business. I mean the ones who just took guy's money and never sent them nothing but BS e-mails.
I like it, in that you can see who takes care of their customers and who doesn't. If you have a good experience, tell everyone. Say why? Great work? Prompt shipping? Great prices? TELL PEOPLE! Spread the word and help these great vendors.
On the other hand, if someone is a less than wonderful example, spread the work there too... I know this site (before I owned it) REALLY made one of the big WWII vendors tighten up his business -- to his benefit.
So, why not go and look? Not like it costs money. BTW, YOU have to be the guy who was the customer, not your buddy and the vendor gets to rebut, so use your REAL name, don't lie and just tell your story. Good feedback goes up at once and bad, well, the vendor gets two weeks to rebut the feedback. If they blow off the e-mail we send them, C'est La Vie! Their own stupidity. This also gives them a chance to "make it right."
