A small little shop I know was on the little list at the bottom. I gave my guy a call there and he didn't even know what I was talking about. He called his rep and confirmed they are getting a couple of boxes. I told him I wanted at least one of each, but I'd buy everthing he got in if he'd sell it to me. He said I could for sure have the one box of each. So fingers crossed I might be ok.
I called 3 shops in IL yesterday. All 3 are small shops 2-3 hrs away. I got the owners of all 3 shops on the 1st try. "Are you willing to sell any Dracs or taking list". "I dont think we are receiving any sir" "Sir I'm looking at the list and you are on it! Oh really thats is great news!When do you think Ill get them? Probably next week and def before Oct31st. Well would you be willing to sell singles to me? I'd be willing to drive 2+ hrs to buy them. I'll tell you what, call me after the 1st week in Nov if I have any left. Ill sell you some.
I hang up the phone.
I'll tell you what sir thank god I dont live in your area. Because where Im from guys who treat people like you are out of business!
I understand he has reg customer prob some everydays.
However I just let all 3 shops know they are getting a gold mine. Throw me a fin bone!
And all three of these shops are very very small. Its not like they are Holts or CI.
BTW my shop is getting 2 boxes of each. They are selling 1 of each to all the lounge members.(even though there still isnt enough, we have over 100 lounge members)
And I couldn't be more proud of them by doing this!
