Glasscages = Rude

They may get 100 calls a day from little kids, just like we got here on this board, that want to TALK tanks. They are in the selling business not the talking. It may not do their reputation any good but as long as the sales keep rolling in, what are they losing?
Anybody ever sold cars? You get 40 guys under 18 looking at a corvette, you get tired of showing every one of them all the bells and whistles, all of a sudden you start passing on those customers. You give them to the new guy, he walks out and sells a car to some kid that just received a payout on huge lawsuit and he makes 2 grand. You cannot win them all.
You always hear negatives about Glasscages, and you notice they do not try to come on any of the boards and sell their tanks, and no advertising, why not? Because they do not need to, they are selling their wares.
All this publicity they get may be negative, but you may get a guy that has never heard of them and he goes and calls them, they are courteous enough for him, so he buys. He heard about them on a negative thread, but he still remembered the name. No such thing as bad publicity.

I'm was thinking the same thing that you mentioned, but then I wonder why the tenecor folks are so much more friendly? And if they are so good, why do they only give a 90 day waranty?
Well said....and that pic is sweet!!!reverse;2838159; said:
I think if you call and know exactly what you want and just ask for a quote if its not listed or just place an order it should all go fine. If the tank is listed you can pretty much fig out how much it will cost.
How much was that 220?
Yeah I didn't do that when calling them. I actually asked the weight of the 300 and 240 gallon, so maybe that got irritated by that, but either way come on. lol.. The 220 was $1015 for just the aquarium and the stand. I wouldn't need it to be delivered, so no delivery fee. Perfecto is the manufacturer.NOLAGT;2838191; said:
Damn that looks clean . And prices take a back seat to service no matter my budget on any project. Integrity matters and you get to see a sneak peek at a companies integrity by their attitude especially to phone questioning clients.12 Volt Man;2838113; said:
That is the tank that I have now. It's a great tank and I have been very happy with it for the past couple of years.

yes the stand was made locally. 1.5" steel tubing. all the LFS's in my area carry them. they say they handle weight better than the prefab wooden ones, so I went that route..
