    The people who have cash in on this are not the ones worried, yet some guy that has nothing invested is going nuts. Not saying he is ban hammer worthy, but people have been whacked for less :D.

    Hey guys so the supplier, Michael at Airflow, just forwarded me the emails some of you guys sent to him asking if I was scamming you or not.

    I can see where you are coming from, but I do not appreciate that.

    It is very frustrating how no one can seem to trust me.

    I won't mention names but I am the retailer for this group buy so therefore I am who you need to contact.

    Michael is a busy man and runs a huge business which caters to many types of vehicles. He doesn't need to deal with some Tacoma customers.

    I can now confirm that this will be my first and last group buy as I feel disrespected and frustrated.

    This Group Buy has taken time away from my life, my career, and my family.

    I had nothing to worry about from the beginning. You could tell that @mahaloTaco was a stand up guy from the way he has run this group buy. He never lied about anything. If there was something that was misunderstood or changed he let everybody know as soon as he did. For me that speaks miles for kind of man he is.

    It only takes a few to ruin it for everyone else. Glad we are still going to get them. Never had a doubt in my mind or felt I needed to verify you or the GB, but some shitheads have nothing better to do than stir the shitpot. You've done a good job of keeping us informed, just do what you do. :thumbup:

    While I understand why this is frustrating to you, there is no reason a member, or anyone interested in a snorkel, can not contact a company about their product. He may be busy, but without us (the consumers), he wouldn't have a business. If any one has even the slightest fear of being ripped off, then I would only hope they would check with the supplier. They should never be too busy to confirm to a member that their money did in fact go to a large purchase.

    Thanks for the work you have put into this. I was not one of the people who contacted Michael but if I was worried, I would not hesitate to call the company and get confirmation. Don't let a few members scare you away from future GB's. After this one goes through, you will have the kinks worked out and people can order without the fear of being ripped off :thumbsup:.

    Sorry some people are ruining things for you Max. Some people are just assholes. I'm sure @ramonortiz55 has been through the same thing in the past. Hope it all works out well for you bro as I'm sure it did for Ramon. Good luck!
    Not sure a snorkel will help if theirs water up to the statue of liberties crown. Maybe we need a submarine group buy haha

    Even after I read all the shit people where asking and "trash talking" I still had no worries. Even TCBOB vouched for you! I'm just sad I joined a little late in the game :-/ and now thanks to a few people I doubt I'll get the chance on this group buy again.
    What I don't understand is if someone doesn't trust the group buy. Then don't participate! That simple. Maybe voice your concern one time. Just to get it out there. But to go over and over and over is ridiculous.

    I'm itching for my snorkel but I always figured it would be delivered quite a bit later the the original date given it was coming by shipping container.

    As for getting ripped off... OP worked hard to find me and keep me involved in this group buy when I was banned. He's a good guy in my book. Until I'm 100 percent sure that's not the case I think folks need to sit back and relax.
