Guys I want to know your opinion . Am I being petty ??
My ***** , I am an official dealer and buy parts from a wholesaler . I am aware that he supplies parts to no franchised shops as well , but what gets my goat is when I see then same parts we sell advertised on Facebook by some reseller then they have obviously supplied . I am also aware that business is business , but these FB sellers dont have a shop , very little overhead , so there markup is no where near ours . Screws us over a bit .
Had a chat with the owner of the supply compony and when I pointed this out to him , he said they were a legit company , asked him for the detail , he then quoted the POPI ACT , and said he cant reveal who they are .
Problem is that if I dont want to buy from them I will be shooting myself in the foot . .
To me its a bitter pill to swallow , but what's your opinion ?
