Would somebody please explain to me .........

Speaking for myself, I can't stand the guy because he takes every thread as an opportunity to advertise his useless "festivals" and/or to pontificate on some point or other as if he's the sole oracle of the glass gods and we should receive his holy scripture on bended knee.

Especially if his holy scripture has something to do with buying overpriced and unnecessary tools from him rather than from some other small-potatoes web-based retail establishment.

If I want someone to try to sell me stuff at an obscene markup, I can find my local retailer's or Delphi's website on my own. I come here to learn. And to see what color Moonraker turns when he gets really bent out of shape, but mostly to learn.

Hahaha.

So now, you're accusing your local retailers of selling you stuff at an obscene markup? Explain to me just what sort of markup should a retailer be putting on a product? I suppose if I buy something for $1 I should sell it for $1.25 and expect that to be suffucient profit?

Of course. Those Basement Bandits have to make a living, you hard hearted grinch.

Mainly because he constantly spams the few places left that he is allowed to post with unending ads for his crappy products and services. He makes ridiculous claims that he doesn't back up, and spouts childish rhetoric about his business sense and teaching abilities. Lots of us here teach, and many of our students mention and praise our courses. Absolute silence about Dennis.

Oh, and he is a lying turd. He deliberately posted something about me which was a complete fabrication, and now, in his usual response when he is caught in a lie, (it has happened before) he accuses me of making demands which he refuses to meet. Did I say he is a lying turd . . . Brock

Relax. Parts of the post to which you're replying had humorous intent.

Actually, I like my local retailers. Especially the ones that are primarily small-potatoes web-based operations; the overhead of a place like Colored Sands is practically nonexistent, yet I can go pick up my order on my lunch hour. When they have what I want, they usually have it for a lot cheaper than I could get it from Dennis after shipping and handling and sitting-on-my-hands-waiting-for-the-UPS-guy and selling-my-soul-to-the-devil fees. When they don't have what I want, Delphi has it, and unlike Dennis, Delphi has enough business savvy to understand that when I want them, I know how to find them.

I forgot to mention, in my first post, that the other reason I don't like Dennis is that he does indeed at first blush sound reasonable to people who haven't been exposed to large doses of him. Just like a used-car dealer.

It's not just in THIS group, David. Might I suggest that you sign onto

and to Beprepared for some explicit language and some very poor grammar and spelling,but definitely more light on the question you posed.Look for threads about Victorian Art Glass or VAG. It's some realinteresting reading from people who have actually done business with Brady. If it were just one or two people who dislike Brady, you might just pass it off as two personalities that conflict. Apparently, the opposite is true, as his supporters are few and far between.

Everyone here tries to make money in anyway the see fit including Brady. The difference is that he continues to alienate everyone of his comtemporaries by telling us all that we are wrong, and his way of doing things is the only way. The bottom line is that his smugness is shoved in the faces of everyone that knows better, and we react to it.

Brady is the kid in the playground when you were younger that did anything he thought he could do to piss off everyone else so he could get in a fist fight and prove that he didn't know how to fight... he got his ass kicked daily and still refused to learn that he didn't know how to fight.

Same thing with glass, what he knows is just enough to get himself in trouble, and he passes that lack of knowledge off as information worth paying for...and it's not.

Just as his parents must be real proud of him, imagine you were the person that gave the idiot his first stained glass lesson. I say first cause he obviously knows it all so never went back for class 2. Just like a 13 year old, they know everything...

What gets me Java, is that he reads all these things, and still continues with the same old same old. What an enormous ego he must have to not let this beating bother him?

He is a TROLL, that is all, he just likes to get a response, if we ignore his ass he will go away and sell his crap to unsuspecting Canadians, and he will be really happy having his circle jerk festivals until somebody gets pissed off enough to kick his ass agian!!

I suspect one of the reasons he's not responding on this board is that he's too busy putting out fires on some of the other web forums. Apparently his business practices are catching up to him. Of course, he blames his supplier and his supplier's supplier. Never his fault, he's as pure as the driven snow.

One woman was complaining yesterday on one of the forums that he had charged her CC for well over $1,000 70+ days ago and still hasn't delivered the merchandise. Over the past few weeks there have been several more instances of extended delays in delivery.

I suppose all that merchandise is on the same container ship headed to Finland with all that glass. Lost at sea. Bwahahahaah!

Which forum? Brock

Your favorite one!!!! Let me know if you can't find the thread.

Oh, I won't be able to find it! They banned me for posting Dwaine Scum's adress. The little asshole phoned me about 50 times one day. What a sweetheart. Brock

check your email...already sent you some, rest will follow.

Have you thought about keeping a police whistle close to the phone? That's what I do to solicitors. A couple of loud blasts in their ear ususally discourages them from calling back.

A couple of loud blasts in Dwaine Scum's ear would probably just make him go fetch a ball . . .

That big of a SOB, eh?

Apparently his

So how many tiers is that?
