I can't argue with that.. I'm sure I'd do the same, and never being a businessman, I can't explain why that is. Maybe higher overhead in some localities than others?? I just don't know. That's really not what rubbed my fur the wrong way here. I just could not understand why another dealer's name had to be dragged through the mud, rather than simply state what a great experience was offered by another. No problems with that!
The great thing about the US of A is that it's a free marketplace. One can research a seek the best possible deal. We all do that, and no one's arm gets twisted to favor one seller over another. It's also OK to post if a person was genuinely treated badly or unscrupulously, but that was not the case here. And, as a disclaimer, I have bought items from Messick's, but I've also bought from other dealers in my area. There have been times I thought I might have been able to do a little better pricewise, but I'm sure not by much, and I always second guess my decisions. They've all seemed to do right by me, but I also need to remind myself from time to time that a businessman needs to make a living, provide jobs for the community, feed his own family as well as those of his employees, pay taxes to many different governments, hopefully make a few charitable contributions, and on and on. You get the idea. So, yes I agree, shop for the best price you can find. Charity begins at home, and we need to be savvy how we spend our funds.

There have been times that I've gotten bad deals or bad service. I go away, lick my wounds, and promise to try to do better in the future. I DON"T publicly trash someone's name over it, particularly if the deal was never even consummated. But... That's just me.

Very good post
I would also like to add that I have seen many times the dealer that was trashed has helped TBN'ers with problems and also many TBN'ers have posted extremely good deals with them.

So far as I know the only perfect human being ever on earth was Jesus Christ, and I do not think he works at a Kubota dealership.

Some steel came yesterday via UPS. I guess about 75 pounds, and I paid $26 and change for shipping. I would have preferred to pay $0, but that's not really realistic unless I expect UPS to work for nothing. UPS has always done a great job for me, btw. Was speaking to the UPS driver, and he claims they now have to handle 150 pounds. One man on the truck. He states they can call the closest driver in the area for help, but that in the real world, it virtually NEVER happens.

For me, at least, UPS does a great job!

I oedered quite a few parts from lashleys. I always check for the best price and they are always cheaper and free shipping. Shipping is always about 3 days.

Add to that the fact that only one of the two dealers mentioned has all the part numbers listed on their website so, if one is inclined to, you can find the part number for your tractor. I'm not saying they are the cheapest but I'm the type of person who likes to not be tied down to dealer hours and dealing with talking to a guy on the phone trying to describe the part you need. I'm not knocking either dealer, just pointing out that each has their advantages.

3 day shipping from Ohio to the Western UP of Michigan is pretty decent,eh!

The OP has a link for a Lashley Tractor out of Georgia. There is also Lashley Kubota out of Ohio.

I orderd a WSM off the GA site and it took three weeks. My card was charged when I placed the order. The GA outfit also has some interesting ebay feedback. I came out ok, but got worried. My invoice number for my parts was under #300, and the emails did not look like a business. Do a street view of the GA address, that is also kind of curious.............I did get FREE shipping though.

I wonder if these two Lashley locations are part of the same concern??
