Hey guys, check out this link from Ebay - see section #3 <br /> <br />http://members.ebay.com/ws2/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=net_enforcers_inc <br /> <br />This is essentially what this is all about. Net Enforcers did not only just recently go into business for Horizon. They've been around awhile becuase this is a fairly common practice. They've been doing it for many other companies. Horizon ain't the first. In fact, they're coming pretty late to the game. Further, Ebay didn't establi***hat guideline (#3)) for Horizon. It's been around awhile, again because it's a fairly common practice. <br /> <br />I have a couple of questions though. Is this letter real? From what I see, it's pure hearsay at the moment. The guy who posted it at Trainorders is known to have a very strong dislike for Athearn and their products. He has a long history of it. They're constantly jabbing him over at Trainorders over his boycott of Athearn. You'd be very hardpressed to find a post from him that says anything complimentary (unless it's done in sarcasm) about Athearn. I have serious reservations about his objectivity about most any mfgr, and not just Athearn, based on most of his posts there. This letter could indeed be very real, but considering the source makes it less than a certain bet. Many of the others who jumped all over that thread were also themselves guys who already don't buy Athearn products or don't buy through Ebay. None of that makes sense to me. If you don't buy Athearn products or don't buy off of Ebay or other such auctionsites, it's not affecting you,.so why would you even bother to care? Besides, Horizon is not doing anything immoral or illegal. I'm not saying you have to like such business practices, personally I don't either. But I'm in the hobby to enjoy it as a hobby, not to worry about business practices that don't affect me. Enjoy the hobby and back to the modeling! <br /> <br />Greg <br />.
