I like him. I liked what he did here. Good dude.
I own some of his products and frequent his site often when I am in the market for something. He is out there doing it for America. His quality is excellent. He isn't selling BS chicom/ Taiwanese made crap or dipping into rebranded coffee. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I worked for years in an *extremely* successful small business that dealt in a high end outdoor sporting industry. Our prices were higher than our competitors, we *never* gave anything away, and we blew our competition out of the water. There are so many other factors in play. I can't believe you're stuck on this "don't give anything away" angle. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: He's 100% right. When it comes to goods OR services, giving either away devalues both. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: LOL. Dude, you are normally a pretty cool guy. Sometimes you post some things I don't necessarily agree with but hey LIBERTY. Today you have jumped the shark twice. Your last two posts. Just so we are clear, IDGAF if you work in retail or outhouses. Your opinion is yours, have at it. Your posting of facts is a crock of shit right now. Enjoy your Thanksgiving. Mark LaRue makes great products and its fun to watch him post, even when you are the recipient of his wit. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. LaRue has done a lot of good things while you were selling widgets. He's 100% right. When it comes to goods OR services, giving either away devalues both. What a weird viewpoint. Does devaluing by 1 percent matter if your actions increase your overall sales by 1000 percent? I purchased 2 full rifles from larue and countless mount. Never would have happened if I hadn’t followed them due to the monthly giveaway. |

I found him much more pleasant in the earlier days when his business was sort of new and innovative. Since then he has made many fine products, which years ago were a nice alternative to that shit from ARMS and other junk metal suppliers. As his business got bigger maybe he got a bit arrogant, anyhow doesnt change the fact that he innovated many new designs and products that likely made the AR a better platform for add ons. I mean do people buy off him because his products are good or because they are looking for a new friend? If its a former and not the later...all is good
