I agree with Joe B, this is just all part of sales and marketing, and it's the kind that rewards the customers. I mean, look at the all the purchases that Rene has done this year alone! It's like a karma rebate for him! On Aug 16, 3:27 pm, Joe Bernard wrote: > *I hope nobody out there thinks

*I hope nobody out there thinks we're throwing money around willy nilly.* ** All bike companies have promotions and sales. Odds are that most folks who drop by, lured by the magnet contest, won't hit one, and won't get a discount. What are the chances of those people walking away without spendin

Hey Grant, don't quit your day job. The Carnival would leave you stranded on the side of the highway in the middle of Kansas I'm sure. As a hint for next time, don't use those really expensive rare earth magnets. Cheapies from an old science kit are the way to go, even if you have to glue 'em to

Well that's the first time I've been described as "only 6-4 or so". I like it. Thanks Grant! And prize or not, the game is still fun. I just wanted to try it for the physics. Probably pretty easy to set up at home. I might need to copy it in my classroom. Extra credit for the physics youths who

Interesting game day today. You probably had to be there, but let's see what I can do here... Group of four from Colorado, one guy familiar, and the other new, 6ft-8in, riding a 27inch 1971 Schwinn. PBH 104.5; big guy. He tried a 64 Sam, loved it. We talked about lotsa stuff. He's a metallurgist a

That's a tempting challenge, and a slick way to draw customers. 25% off a frame is a heck of an offer, and even if I didn't get so lucky, there's no way I'd leave without spending some money. Hmm.. Joe "I think I can I think I can" Bernard -- You received this message because you are subscribe

Yeah, wellI hope you're happy, Rene...you spoiled it for everybody. Game closed for life. Never again. Yes, I am joking. Sincere congrats, and yes, I was shocked. Based on those first two throws, I thought "no way in heck." I allowed you those two mulligans because I felt sorry for you. Now I f

Congrats! That does look really hard. I like your photo; even though Grant's back is to us, you can tell that he's flummoxed by your getting the lug to stick to the magnet. =) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this
