Damn... Guess I'm not in the know about the "list" but It sounds like a horrible life changing thing this "list" if it's got Greg all a fuss

if I wasn't on my iPhone I'd comment more on a couple things. Really it would only be about entertaining myself and the readers at this point tho...
The wife and I work at the same company and commute together. I was telling her about this joke of a thread and Onasled claiming that my "list" was intimidating people to not speak up . We both started in the car. She said she had no idea I was so powerful and that she was so turned on to find out her husband was suck a bad a$$ .

Ya baby that's right, that's right! Nobody messes with RMW !

She really loves the child like stories I tell about NAM .

The bottom line is I have goten my money back and that your road show has been exposed for what it really is. And as far as all the cams (that are not his) or the race headers or the coil overs or the motors, I have heard thru the grapevine that someone has taken my course of action on one of Jan's fantastic 2.0 motors and has gotten back a charge back of some 26 LARGE ya baby.
Am I reading this right? that the invoice for a 2.0 RMW stroker motor says $26,000 at the bottom and thats without a TVS bolted on

What percentage of this is taxes etc etc you have to pay in CA, our customers have to pay 15% Value Added Tax on labour and parts

I actually did the same thing as Longboard... I was talking to a friend about how I was on some internet guys "list"... They thought that Longboard must really like me to have included me on a list of people associated with having some sort of personal vendetta.

So the hilarity goes both ways. One side laughs because they are being watched as if they are "known criminals" and the other side laughs because they actually are little gnats pestering us wherever we go on multiple forums - where the provide zero use.

Paul, the customer did not know what the tax amounts were b/c no invoices were provided for these sale transactions...

As a company, without an invoice, it's very hard to dispute charges b/c no record of the transaction had ever occured... so the customer simply calls their CC company and dispute these "unauthorized" charges... just my 2 cents and a heads up to all other companies out there - CYA... Get QuickBooks, it makes life a lot easier for ya.

LB,
EZput can choose whatever header he wants to put on his car; it's a free country (well, somewhat the last time i checked)... So what's your point?

He got the RMW header months before we debut our header at AMVIV. As a matter of fact, EZput loves the RMW header - just not the constant codes.

FYI: EZput is currently running the STOCK header... he's on the waiting list for the MM-Straight header... At this point in time, EZ is using his factory header!!! if you don't believe me, i will bet you $1,000,000 dollars and even throw in a free plane ticket from LAX to Phx Pls bring CASH...

cheers.
mike

Subject: Re: MegaMynes Header Production schedule... Thu Jun 25, 2009 7:55 am[/FONT]

A bit off topic but the credit card company did get my money back for Jans code thrower. So now I'm offically on the "list" for one of Mike's staight headers!!!

This is from EZ off the Mynes header thread on their site which for some isn't there tonight. Funny how that happened.

Ahhh so thats how you get out of guarantees, by not issuing an invoice

So the CA tax is like our VAT that if you buy 50 camshafts you can claim the VAT back, then you collect the VAT again when you sell it individuay to a customer.

So when can you not make a chargeback in the USA. is there a set period of time ?
