OK, the problem I have with GW and their "promises" stems from the fact
that I am a retailer. So they have assured us that the old stands will
work. My sales rep at GW Canada also assured me that WHF would not be
more expensive - the price increased by $15. He assured me that the
price on their paints would not icrease - the washes and glazes
increased. He assured me that the trees that GW now produces are more
expensive than the ones they prevously carried, because they are better,
yet they are the SAME damn trees! Believe me, I could site many more of
GW's assurances that have been false. I don't care if they increase
their prices (well, acutally I do, but it is their company), but don't
give me false assurances, and quit lying to their retailers!!
