thats a bit of a bold statement! John is one of the most respected dealers I know, ive had tons of bargains of him over the last 30 odd years
when you add up the overheads of any business im sure you would find that you pay more for that level of service.
there are other dealers that are dearer than John and some that are cheaper all of which have their own canoes to paddle
and all seem to be doing well even in a recession so he must be doing something right. so does that mean we are all not in the right frame of mind then ?
your statement is an insult to every person whos bought from him over the last several decades
