You think it's rough buying a spa, J McD mentioned Diamonds. Now there is a racket. Sleeze-O-Rama. If you don't know you're stuff..............you will get hung out to dry. I've seen it happen to too many friends that don't listen to me.

None of this is an attack on anyone....This was my weekend!
If some of you think this post was all about you, your spa, your position in the grand scheme of things and let it hurt your feelings you have some issues that you should probably deal with.
I know... try a rant!! How about the “stuarts picking on arctic rant” or the “stuarts grouchy and mean rant” or better yet “it’s all about me rant”?
I don't need a vacation, I need a place for a reality check and a place that I can vent somewhere and this forum was always that.
I'm not angry, I'm not depressed and I don't have a chip on my shoulder. On the contrary I rather enjoyed writing the last two posts and have had friends say they rather enjoyed reading them.
I hope you can understand that I'm not going to put an Arctic-bashing disclaimer on every post.... Funny, I always thought that if you got defensive over something it was because of a guilty conscience!
I met several great people this weekend! In fact, I think that I need someone else to work the show so that I can spend my time hobnobbing with customers, friends and acquaintances that seem to come by in droves.
I really enjoyed all of the young couples out spending time together because one of them just got back from Iraq.
I would not be in business without consumers and things would be boring if not for the colorfulness of human nature but in the words of Ron White "You just can't fix stupid!"
Disclaimer....I'm not calling anyone on this forum stupid, if comments on this post resemble any similarities to anyone here or anyone you know it is simply coincidental, no Arctic spas where damaged in typing this post, Ron Whites name was used without his permission

I find it odd you would go on a forum frequented by consumers and basically call us all a bunch of idiots as a way of venting. By the very admission you were venting tells me that is what you believe, that you "just had to get it off your chest". After the fact niceties and "I didn't really mean that" don't carry a whole lot of weight. Not that what I think matters to you, but it might to others who are trying to figure out what the hell crawled up yours.
Of course your dealer friends find it amusing and well said as they probably feel the same way about their customers (as is evidenced by their supportive comments.)
So do you pay "sticker" for your new (or used) cars? Or do you haggle out the best deal?

I do not think this is about haggling your best deal....

Perhaps I missed something.....but I never got the impression anyone was referring to anyone as idoits...what I think gets lost here by many is that most consumers on this forum are not like the average person who walks in your door or who you meet at a home show....etc....most people here want to make an informed decision or simply enjoy owning their spa and like the common shared experience of ownership that most have here on this board.....I took the post as someone venting about a long weekend.....I can say this......I wish we had more consumers that walked in our door that did the research that those here do........Do not get me wrong we have met some truly wonderful people....who are now customers as well as freinds...but most who come in have very little idea about what makes a spa worthy of the investment and depending and who and what they want to beleive....a quick example....we lost a sale to another dealer....lower price....a few months later the customers are back at our place looking for help.... it was spa/ gazebo package they bought...when I asked what the trouble was it was that they could not get the cover off their spa.....turns out the other "deal" was cheaper because the gazebo was to small for the spa....it fit inside but left to room for clearance for a lift and it made using the spa very diffcult.....it really opened my eyes as just how low some will go to make a supposed deal....I am speaking of the other dealer....anyway......I appreciate those contribute here to this board both from the dealers and consumers and again I say Thank you to you all....... :D
