TOPIC: POLL: do you think many other dealers and buyers look at this forum?

If yoiu think that they do, the do you think a lot for them do, or just a few?

Me; yes, and considering the realitively rare individual that is interested in our fav plant, a lot.

I would say yes, They will try to use it to their advantage. Thats good business.

A few

I agree w/Rootman just a few... Several of us that do post regularly on here, but I personally know several that dont hardly ever get on a computer. It really doesnt provide any advantage

I am not saying that it does .But it may give away a few things about the way the season is going.Like when we post things are plentiful or things are bad.That way the dealers kinda know if they have a lot or little coming in that season.I know its a bear guessing how the market is going from week to week.

Well, that is assuming the dealers have no other contact with folks who get out in the woods or that they don't get out themselves.

To be honest, I think a lot of times the posting on forums is more detrimental to business than it helps. Anyone can post anything on the internet *coughpricescoughcough* regardless of the truth of the matter.

Are you saying that \"truth in Advertizing\" doesen't translate well to the I-Net? LOL

HEH

Yup, every year I have guys contacting me wanting to buy from me.

I think if the buyers/dealers are actively looking than they are here. It may be more of a stop to see how things are looking but I'm sure there are buyers that are closely monitoring this forum.
