Yes I am new to kayak fishing.
I was replying to the OP's post, stating hes "shopping kayak stores and looking for a really good price." Which is what I did recently and shared the two places I found my answer. Regarding a relationship, if you believe you need to buy from Andy before he will help you I think you have the wrong opinion of him. He and the other staff answered my questions and spent time with me. But when I lined every shop up Mike had the best offer for me and that is all I was sharing for the OP. I didnt say Andy was a bad guy, I just found a better deal elsewhere is all.
I don't remember reading anywhere to follow or post on this forum requires that you are now committed to OEX exclusively. He didnt make a sale this time but ill be back next time I need gear and maybe we will, thats the beauty of a competitive market. I conduct myself with the idea that at the end of the day the owner runs a business. No matter how nice he was to me he's in business to make a profit and therefore im looking to get the best deal
