of course there would!!!
WE are not everybody. everybody is all of the thousands and thousands of people that buy reps all around the world in flea markets and from random sellers everywhere. WE are a far smaller set that generally goes for the higher end stuff that isn't as readily available. since people (we) are willing to pay the price for the higher end stuff, it is available. the demand is there.
that is why guys like andrew, neil, eddie, josh, davidsen, et all can make and sell the higher end stuff. i know that in the past some dealers have been a bit miffed when people go wild in scrutinizing the latest rep saying that it can hurt sales. perhaps this was the case - new model comes out, dealer offers it, it doesn't fare well under scrutiny, dealer gets a little upset.
i can totally see where that emotion is coming from. but then again these are the same people that will shell out anywhere from a hundred dollars to a thousand + on a rep. personal attacks aside, i agree with by-tor, this could be a spirited, interesting discussion.
cheers guys
