Secrets revealed! The time has come to reveal the identity of a ember of this board...a question which has plagued mankind for -- oh -- two weeks at least.
I’m speaking of....
No, not Arcon...but New Dealer.
To refresh those memories...some time back, I posted that I was starting a new supply house and asked for advise as to what people wanted from their suppliers. I have taken those words to heart as much as possible, and am now ready to start operations.
As stared when I started out, I will be selling foil wires and tip assemblies to start out, as well as female chest guards. I will take orders for other items, of course. I will be selling Allstar/Blade, and will have a storefront on the grounds of SwordPlay Fencing Studio in Burbank, CA.
In addition, I will be taking over sales for SwordPlay, but will have to start a second company for that purpose, to be called Xtreme Escrime.
Go to http://www.homfencing.com for more details.
And now, the unveiling...New Dealer is none other than (insert drum roll here)...

Yep, it’s true. New Dealer is, in fact, Purple Fencer. This will be my last post under this name.

Now back to our program.
I should be able to start actually selling items October 1, 2001, unless I get my first supples sooner. I will take orders now, however.
Sorry for the deception, but, like I said waaay back, I’ve got a certain rep in the division and didn’t want that rep to screw up the business. After I started, I was offered the storefront at SwordPlay and realized people would find out anyway.
See ya.

Congrats, Sam!
Don't worry about what other nimrods think. Who are they, anyway? I think it's great, & I wish you a lot of success. Too bad you aren't in Michigan...we'd be clamoring for you! "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."

If you're not busy going to the Div II/III/cadet in Sandy UT, would you be interested in selling equipment at the upcoming Bay Area Regional Youth Circuit? You'd just need to sell youth equipment, small shoes, 0/2/ and some 4/5 blades, small uniforms, etc.
Email me if you're interested. No vendors charge.

I knew it as soon as you mentioned SwordPlay.
Congratulations and good luck on your venture. I'm with Moon too. We could use soemone here too. The nearest is Chicago. CAUTION: The heart is a fragile thing. Handle with care.

Sam, what color socks are you planning to carry?

However, look for an old thread called "New Dealer in Town" on this board...there were some good comments from other people about what they wanted from a dealer.

Nope, it's going to be the main selling point aside from the actual storefront at my salle. It's about 95% complete right now. I just need to do a little more tweaking tonight when I get home from work.
