htrain, I hope the Vector 10.0's work out for you.

I re-read the thread and don't think Darkstar was being sarcastic. With regards to his credibility, he, JR, and the other Senior Members and mods have amassed a huge amount of credibility and have built up their reputation in the hockey industry over time.

htrain,

I am sorry if I offended you. Sometimes the only way a person can see the other side, if you will, is to think what its like to be in their position. From this discussion, I have helped a lot of people now better understand the challenges within the hockey business industry and those challenges facing the LHS and the buyer. In a perfect world, we would all be able to buy whatever we want whenever we want. As you and I both know, there is no perfect world. How do you think I feel when I know in November that there is a major shortage of certain items in protective(the NBH 5500 black helmet shortage was true and a major problem for many dealers) and I am trying to increase my sales and keep a shop running smoothly and professionally? I also know in November that those new product lines everyone is drooling over are not rolling out until the famous quote of JR "sometime in the Spring." The consumer is not the only one being hurt by these shortages in certain products. It is how the LHS reacts to these changing problems that make the differences in the kind of LHSs in your area. The thing about the learning curve for buyers in LHSs is that it never ends.
