[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 3911912, member: 24452"] So what I’m hearing here is that Sam is a SOB for running a profitable business, right? :scratch: I’ve literally bought 10’s of thousands of rounds from SG and still will if I find a deal, and I genuinely hope the guy is making money and can keep operating for many years to come. I didn’t like the “no pick up” at first, but I now get why he doesn’t offer a “pick up” service. That would take an additional employee that would spend half their day jawjacking with customers that come to pick up and have nothing else to do. As someone self employed, I have to be a little chatty with my customers, but if I’m not careful, I can lose a couple hours of “production” which ends up costing me money. I guarantee it would be worse for them with people coming to pick up ammo. One of the perks for me was that SG didn’t charge sales tax to across state lines, so that’s one big factor as to why they were my go-to ammo source. Now that everyone charges sales tax, I shop around. It’s not a big deal to me, because I’m going to be charged taxes wherever I buy. The biggest mistake I see that Sam made is trying poor mouth his situation. I know self employed guys that make a lot of money and try to act like they can’t afford their morning coffee, and in my opinion, that’s insulting. It’s better to just keep your mouth shut, go to work, and not let on whether you’re making money or not. At the end of the day, it’s going to be better for business, and this thread proves it.
