Hahahaha!

CAST , in marriage their iss no tally sheet, I take what I get when I can get it

I would like to know of any interest also. A lot of specialty forums are "seeded" with posts from reps/"pro staffers", etc. On another forum for years half the threads on the first page of the Optics forum were "My Vortex is great" threads of some kind.

If you have been around awhile it's not a big deal. You know who to listen to anyway. For others it may not be so apparent. Frankly, I put zero stock in any opinion of someone with skin in the game for any particular product.

Me too, but everyone has go agree on the spelling of "vendor".

I vote for my new and improved version.

Good catch, I have struggled with spelling since primary school so pointing it out only helps me, so thanks.

You had never addressed the question of what 'Pro Staff' entails. I quite frankly don't know, and out of ignorance searched the internet.

Can you clarify your vendor relationship publicly or via PM?

Prostaff Link 1


This one is particularly helpful but does not paint the picture that you are purporting of unbiased information.
What is a pro staff?

Every company runs their ProStaff differently so the links are helpful to establish a framework of thinking but not necessarily in defining a legal standard.

Pulsar/Sightmark has elected a wide array of members from various backgrounds in interests in the sport or field of work and calls upon us to be brand ambassadors. There are no defined parameters for carrying out the duty on this other than use common sense and be positively involved.

We get a discount (it's a flat rate) and it isn't radical but they asked us not to publish it, that is there business position and I respect that.

There has never been free scopes or guns.

I find myself having the ability to test and evaluate scopes that I cannot afford and I share the information with fellow consumers in forums, at the range, and in public.

I do not force my opinion or suggest that products are best options when I know them not to be, I am the unbiased part of the equation.

The folks at pulsar/Sightmark are class acts and it is a privilege I enjoy.

Goodnight

So you have no guidelines or goals on how you conduct yourself in the pursuit of being a 'Pro Staff' member?



So you can hook your buddy up with a scope and still make some money on the side or possibly sell here in the classifieds?



Technically yes, but in a practical sense no. When you can buy at a dealer price (or below) without the overhead that comes with being a distributor you can turn a tidy profit, effectively making the products free.



Now in a short review of your posts I see that this not to be true. Please review your recommendations and see if it syncs with what you said, maybe you "misremembered".

Well Buddy all I can say is that I cannot please everybody.

Your entitled to think what you want, all I ask is that you don't follow me around and poke poke poke as we move forward from this post.

I have nothing more to offer you in this post so this will be it.

Bye

So what about over and beyond to disclose? You have been evasive, and deceptive until called out. Ironically your being called out was brought on by your own caustic posts.

Now that it's getting a little closer to the truth, you decide to bow out. Fair enough. The other forum members at least can draw their own conclusions at this point as I know I sure have.

So basically: Don't mess up your sales or call you on your BS? Got it.

Unfortunately this is a open forum, and until the rules change, and we are no longer allowed to speak freely I'll do as I please thank you very much.

Just remember who was the aggressive, deceptive, and rude person in this thread.

Good day to you sir.
