RE: EDP in europe - freeing 350 warehoused units




Yes David, that's why I think your idea is good.

I'll forward it to the french dealer who was supposed to etc etc ...
I also know that some other EDP interested european guys are on the DL and
have for sure read your idea. 

I hope we in Europe shall be able to organise ourselves, and obtain good 
results.

All the best 

Francois

Francois --

I sympathize completely with the frustration you feel.  Sometimes the 
bigger the company the longer it can take to re-organize -- and the 
greater the potential for small product lines (like the EDP) to get lost 
in the shuffle.  

I'm just offering a possible way to move forward, for those that want to 
do so.  It's been dedicated user interest and cool software updates that 
has kept this product alive so long.   As they say, be careful you don't 
throw out the baby with the bathwater.

David

  I must say I fully agree with this opinion.

  Even though the idea of showing that some buyers are interested was 
good, 
  I must admit I have seen a few much more customer oriented behaviours 
than that of MR Gibson currently,

  When I was having the same problem looking for a Boomerang a month ago, 
  I sent a mail to Mike Nelson, he replied 3 days later with all the good 
info about
  2 dealers in Europe who had just received some, and bingo, that was it !

  As of today all I got from Gibson representatives (UK, Italy, France) 
  even though some were willing to help, was "we are currently 
re-organising bla bla bla"
  first version of it was in June ! quite some time for a re-org ! 
  My former (US) company decided to re-org in January, 3 weeks later we 
were history :-(

    One point though. Why would I want to give my money to a company for a 
product, as good as it may be, that is obviously not interested in what it 
is I wish to buy? It's not like I'm buying a bag of confectionery here, 
these devices cost good money. Where is the safety in the purchase IF 
assistance is needed? Even if they do be so kind as to let me give them my 
hard-earned cash (aren't I blessed) it's obvious they are going to 
disappear as rapidly as their interest was raised if they do see a list of 
potential customers, obligations to warrant/support included.

    Call me being picky here but it' not the kind of contract I generally 
like to get involved with based on past experience regardless of the size 
of company being dealt with. In fact, I'd rather put the money into the 
pockets of the people that actually seem interested in the product if any 
can be found associated with it.

    Apologies for being such a cynic when parting with ~£700 but that's 
about 7 months rent here and it's not going into the wallets of 
shareholders of a company that obviously doesn't give a crap about the 
products survival. Period!
