What Are you talking about ??  

Show ?? You must be confused. I know who my clients are and who my suppliers are.
Since you think you know my buisness , let me take this oppurtunity to give you a little factual insight.
 I've always SHOWED and PAYED for whatever I ORDER with ALL my clients up front. I run a smart business selling fresh product at Market price plus a very small commision for myself, and I never, ever gouge my customers. Everyone cant make that claim. If you can, great!  I pride myself in opening up new channels of buisness because of a  simple streamlined 2 man operation, Im able to go where a lot of dealers wouldnt think of going, or could care less about because of the overhead. I have delivered crabs to the Pittsburgh area less than six hours swimming,  Do you do that?  So if you feel you can get them to the guy or recommend somebody to do a better job, that's fine.

But dont try to disparage my business in the process. I dont think that kind of practice is neccesary in any business.
 
  I ALWAYS post my cell number, Its never a problem to call me.

MDBAYMIKE.

What makes you think you can speak about a conversation between myself and Gene?  You are definetly confused about something. Ive had several coversations with Gene including one about hanging out with him on his boat. Where you supposed to be there or know about that?

Sorry, but you are incorrect.

You know I read a post on here. It was a young guy trying to start up in the wholesale business. He was obviously inexperienced, but that didnt stop the guys from tearing into him anyway. He was actually ready to leave the site. I thought, "Poor kid", he let a few people discourage him before he good give it a good try.  Sucks.

I don't think anybody goes into this business with the idea of "Hey lemme waste a lot of time, money and energy faking like I want to deal in crabs."
 I belive everybody has a passion for being in business and a geninue desire to make good.
Maybe some peole are more talented and disciplined than others.

Funny thing is:   With the Asian imports flooding the market, you would think US crabbers want to support each other as much as possible.

Maybe Im being naive.

Well those of us who have been in the crabbing business for a while have heard it all and it's now a standing joke every spring when all these buyers come out of the wood works (and promise how many they can buy all year) when the price is high and no crabs on the market so I cured the problem,I have a set year round price for my buyers that is fair to both of us,one has now been with me for the 6 years since I started with the set price,I lost another one after 3 years because they bought them cheaper in the fall somewhere else and cut my order back,in the last 4 months they MAY have got 10 bushels of crabs from a buddy and I picked up a restaurant sale across the street that is taking 25 a week when I can catch him that many.

I could be wrong, but I don't think United messes with crabs. A lot of the locals sell to Ed Gills.
