ADVICE: don't buy things from a company that can't even keep up a website, chances are they are out of business or will take your cash and fly!

Huh? No...not me..
I'm just saying that if you keep going to the website and dont get anywhere...should be a clue to not spend your money there in the first place!

I believe that was the place I had a horrible experience dealing with a few years ago. After I paid for an item, they never delivered or responded to emails. Their response was extremely rude when they finally did. It took some negative comments on Focaljet before they replied. They accused me of bad communications at which point I fowarded to them no less than six emails sent over a period of three weeks which they never replied to.
I believe there was a whole thread on Focaljet about their lack of customer service.
They have no address, no phone number. Is this what you want to deal with?

Tom's a good guy, I met him and should picked up the euro bumper that he had for sale, but there was a copyrighting issue with a grille they had produced and marketed... and the resulting backwash put them under. Shame really, they had some good stuff.

When you produce a product that is identical or almost identical to another companies, who spent money on designing that product, it has nothing to do with them being a large corporation putting down the little guy.
Same idea would be to open up an ipod, make a copy of the circuit board, and start your own production using their software and selling it as your own. With some minor differences.

funny you bring up 'smaller companies' 'microsoft' 'screwing people' and 'ipod' in the same discussion. because you do know microsoft beat apple to the copyright of the wheel on the ipods right? so apple has to pay royalties on each ipod sold? now i know apple isn't a small company... but ... c'mon

I tried to buy something off of them years ago... they ignored me so I moved on.
Apparently it's a guy in Etobicoke or Brampton or something with a garage full of focus parts. :rolleyes:
