I’ve read that several folks like dealing with S. Toys out of Dallas. I used them for my training, but I refused to do any business with them for gear.
Why? Nothing is marked! You have you ask and this allows the “sales guys” to work their magic. Now, this didn’t happen to me, but I could certainly see how someone was looking at a BC that retailed for 250, but since it isn’t marked, the new diver doesn’t know this and the item isn’t marked, so he asks for help.
The sales guys asks “how much you looking to spend?” the guy says “someone told me to get something around 300” sales guys tells him he is in luck; the BC you’re looking at normally sales for 325, but I’ll let you have it for 275 because you have such a nice face!
Again, I’m not saying they do this stuff, but with nothing marked, the un-informed could really get taken. Someone gave me a gift cert to them and since I didn’t know how much I had in my hands I had to keep asking. A real pain in the ass!! I will never do business with anyone who doesn’t mark their product. I know they have an on-line store, but since I live in the state I have to pay taxes, so I use scuba dot com. (they beat ST every time on my orders)
Anywho, my two cents
