Harley-Davidson sues Harley-Davidson

Hell, I'm in at tree-fiddy

I've actually been in the middle of this situation. Not motorcycles nor Haas as mentioned above. But I spent time selling a customer on a large ticket item. Customer turns around and finds a "new/used" one on ebay. A dealer in another part of the country had one on floor plan that was two years old and selling at a reduced rate on ebay without warranty.

The manufacturer was not pleased and felt this was bad for the brand. To protect the brand image, they felt it was important to have service and warranty. The other dealers inability to sell the product became my problem. The manufacturer stepped in and forced the other dealer to split commission or be booted from the network. I was expected then paid for my efforts in being the one who sold the customer on the product but also expected to represent the brand (and that unit) as expected by the manufacturer.

 

wouldn't be the first time - certainly won't be the last. just enjoying being able to sit down while I can.
