i don't think i was flaming you, just pointing out some things i see, sorry if you took offense. I feel I in no way was telling people not to buy from you or your contacts, but to just be careful and not rush to throw money at you and pay for it later. Just be careful and take basic precautions, which i still stand by.
i have seen in other forums scammers (not necessarily you so don't misunderstand) go as far as to setup fake online stores with products and setup group buys to only take peoples money and run. Some of those people that got taken used debit card transactions and got taken with little they could do to get their money back, since laws for debit cards are different then those for CC's. So like I said just double check with your CC's so you know what kind of protection you have.
I appreciate you taking the time to pass on some deals but you have to understand where i am coming from where it is rather easy to setup websites, drop a few names, forward calls and whatever with the advent of the information age, so someone appearing out of the blue with great deals will set off some alarms.
i did run the number you gave me through switchboard which turned up this web address http://www.ohlinsusa.com/Contact/tabid/58/Default.aspx then i did go to www.ohlin.com and checked the distributor list and the above address i got from switch board, it did show up there, as well as the (828) 692-4525 phone number showed up, so the conclusion i draw is if use the number (828) 692-4525 plus the extension number and contact person Erik gives then it should be ok. Since Ohlin's website also lists it.
But like i said above it is always good practice to know what kind of protection your CC provides and is not always a good idea to use a debit style or credit card that is tied to your checking account when doing online /phone purchases.
hope all works out well for those interested, please report back. I like to hear from people i know and are familiar with.
