Quote:Should I not buy the high quality, local product just because of this connection?
Aunt T scares the **** outta me.
And my initial gut reaction was
"what the hell is she thinking?" meaning.. you.
I absolutly see your point in the local companies/ this is a company you may buy from later..
So, buy from them later.
but not now.
I agree with soz, this will be a 'favor' with strings , and I think they have too many strings with you as it is.
If this 30% is a large enough amount of money that you cant find it currently in your savings account, then you can not afford the strings that come with it.
No matter how genuine she may appear RIGHT NOW, her track record shows she isnt.
I wouldnt do it. No way no how.
later on down the line, when you are ready to buy from that company, go right on ahead. And if she decides to meddle in small purchases, so be it.
But with that large of a discount being offered, no.. i just wouldnt take the chance..
but that is only my opinion.
