Vendors corner
« on: January 22, 2017, 03:43:24 PM »
Kind of a pet peeve of mine is when I see something in the Vendors section, it seems like a scavenger hunt to find the vendors website address. It would be nice if when the vendor posts a topic they would include a link to their website.  Just saying.,. H^^

It would be nice but bear in mind most of these vendors are a 1 person operation.  I'd rather they spend their resources on the products needed to keep CL alive rather than maintaining a web site.

Sure, I understand that, but if they do have a website it would be nice to list it at the bottom of their posts.

There are probably 4 or 5 vendors that I thought had interesting stuff and wanted to just look see..

My interest was NOT intense enough to continue the search through post after post for a web link IF one existed

Yes, I know I could have PMed any of them.... but I did not have a specific need ...just wanted to see what all they offered

As much as I understand the ONE MAN show problem with aging cottage industry guys. I am still a bit frustrated that some of them do have a web site but seriously out of date

The only way I even knew they had a product I needed / wanted was here on the forums

I did chat with one vendor about this a few years back, and I fully understand and agree with the answer

He said he did NOT add the item to his web site because he was afraid to get more orders than he could possibly fulfil
