SandBlasted Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 You can always tell people yeah you could save 50 or 60 bucks on that CDI.. I'll let you use my internet access and order it right now..have fun this weekend knowing you saved some money but after spending 500 or 600 dollars on gas food and everything else you are going to enjoy sitting around not riding. Oh yea we are used to it, it does not get to me, It's just funny why somebody trying to geta better price would bring up ebay. We will keep coming, we really enjoy coming out there. Plus I get to sneak off when the wife turns away for a min. Slave driver she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandBlasted Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 i'm sure it wouldn't be to hard to get nitrous tanks out there to fill bottles.... I'm not sure what is needed to fill bottles. From what I understand in Nevada you have to be licenced or something. I could be wrong but it seemed like a big deal as at the checker on Sahara across from the DMV there is only one person there that can do it. Does anyone Know?

sandqueen Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I think the vendors out there are great! Paying a few extra bucks, big deal. At least it saved you a few hours of travel time, finding the right store, then praying that they have the part in stock. Plus, you still have to drive back to the dunes, repair it and hope you got the right part or don't need something else. My husband forgot his helmet of all things. (Duh!!) In his defense though he was extremely side tracked with helping me get things together since I just got out of the hospital. Anyways, the vendor (sorry don't know the name) actually charged him a very reasonable price for a really nice helmet. I was prepared for the worst but obiviously it was needed so any price probably would have worked. Like someone above mentioned, are you really going to sit in camp for the rest of the weekend just to save a few bucks??? Gas and Propane available in the dunes? I highly doubt it. I really don't think anyone would want the responsiblity. Pooper dumper and water refill? That would be better than ???? Well, it would be great!! RV Repair? great idea, would totally use their services.... What would everyone do if there were no vendors? What would they do if all the vendors didn't show up during one of the big weekends? Maybe just maybe then they would realize how much the vendors are needed and that those few extra dollars really are no big deal. The vendors are there for our needs, maybe instead of bitchin about them we should thank them. Even if you don't buy something, maybe stop by and say thanks for being here. Sorry for the novel, just tired of buttheads complaining about stupid pooh! Oh well, just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunelover Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Thank you. We have never made money vending at the dunes when you figure in all the costs. We do this more to support and promote our business. On that aspect we make customers and good friends. I can understand why some charge what they do. They do it fulltime every weekend when there are not as many buyers out there, but their costs remain the same I don't know, it's a fine line. Me and my husband (yellow raptor) always stop by your place first when we brake something or need anything. Of course its cheaper in town. But 4 hours of driving round trip plus the tank of gas. Who cares. Once we needed a bolt that would cost 50 cents and paid $15 from some random guy cause no one else had it. Yeah it was over priced but after all the money spent getting there it was worth it to keep riding.I hope you guys keep coming.So I can keep buying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandBlasted Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 we need more people like you to make this sport affordable to all ! We have found most people who need helmets is because the left them at home. last year we had to outfit an entire family. I guess all their gear is in one large bag and they left it at home. did you grab the bag, no i thought you grabbed the bag, I was going to grab the bag but I thought you said you'd get it...kinda thing. We try to find decent helmets on sale - closeouts etc and then pass the savings on to our customers. It's people like you who make vending a pleasure out there. Thank you!

Hurtigrodfare Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 TRYING TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT IS NEEDED ON VENDER ROW, WHAT DO PEOPLE NEED OR FORGET THE MOST OFF. How about a couple of dumpsters out there. Maybe it would cut back on the the trash in Dumont and in Baker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurtigrodfare Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 i'm sure it wouldn't be to hard to get nitrous tanks out there to fill bottles....

ntrsandman Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 How about a couple of dumpsters out there. Maybe it would cut back on the the trash in Dumont and in Baker. This has been discussed several times. Its the trash that wouldn't make it in the dumpsters if it even made it to them that would be a problem. Wind, coyotes, divers. I bet some azzhats would even try to turn them over! It would likely be more of a problem than a solution. If you have room to bring it in, then you have room to take it out!

barefoot bob Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 And you! I'm pissed at you I have been making b and g for 23 years at the fire station, and most think it is to die for. 2 pounds of hot sausage, a tub of flakey bisquets served with a side of thick cut bacon and you never came by. We finally cooked it up Sunday. It was good. a heart attack on a plate and you missed it. Maybe next time. sorry bro it was one of those weekends where i couldnt get anywhere i wanted to be i was always moving by the time i unloaded unlocked gassed up helped with problems it was 9 or 10 and i was starved so i would "sneak off" to hogs and had to hurry back or miss out on a run. in my defense i did stop out in front of your place but i didnt see anyone so i figured you were busy. and i did tell my wife when she went to your store to tell you she was mrs barefoot they were gone for hours ( i had to baby sit lol ) she has never done that. new vendors row worked for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 RV repair would be great! We spent the last weekend of September at DD with a refrigerator that wouldn't cool. Fortunately, we had several ice chests and several friends with working fridge's. Last season, we met some great folks who couldn't get their fuel station to work. They tried everything. Called the dealer, no luck, tried siphoning the fuel, no luck. Eventually, they took a trip to Pahrump (sp?) and bought a few gas cans and fuel so they could ride. 100 miles +- round-trip in a King Ranch F350 was not a cheap trip! Tow service would probably be really expensive to run and make any money. My family is new to duning/off-roading, but we consider DD to be our favorite place to be with our toys and friends. In three trips to DD, I have towed a bike with a broken chain, a teenager on a crashed quad, a 2wd pick-up high-centered at the entrance to the camping area, and a huge Class C with a box trailer stuck in the sand. I would never let someone stay stuck if I could help it. In return, I have had my entire truck and hauler towed out of deep sand by another duner. I have had my Rhino towed out of deep sand too. I carry two tow straps and I'm always looking for anyone who needs help. We have purchased items from the vendors every trip and I know we will continue to do so. We appreciate them being there. We try to be self-sufficient, but nobody's perfect. Thanks vendors! We'll see you next weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Good idea on the tow service. Last Tday there was a kid in a Suzuki Samurai that was pulling people out all weekend. He couldn't have been 20 years old. I bet he was making some cash, I even watched him pull out a Ford F350 pulling a 5er and a trailer behind that. As long as he is there I don't think anyone needs to be worried about getting pulled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I like the idea of the pooper dumper. We always have tons of fresh water. However, my in-laws had a leak and ended up running out of water on Halloween weekend. Water would be great, too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the ideas on this thread, rv repair, fresh water, and holding tank dumping are the best. Here's an idea, come out for the next big holiday weekend and see how you do. At the very least I'm putting your number in my cell phone. Cheers. Edited November 20, 2007 by Kevlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoleinVegas Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I love the Vendors, and I remember back in the day when there were hardly any at all. Now you can find almost anything you need. Do most places take cash only? Can they take cards? Cause I might bring a small amount of cash and then realize I see something really cool to get and can't.
