NEA Business Practices

NEA are you gonna answer the shill question or not? I think I might go post about this on the czfirearms forum and maybe on arfcom. Maybe we should make it viral?

I don't really care if you guys were shilling or not, but at least own up to it ffs.

Which is why I hope everyone can have all the knowledge out there before it disappears for good.

Someone please post what is going on in an area of the forums many don't have access to - it could affect quite a few choices as to where people spend their hard earned money.

The worst thing that NEA alledgedly do is that they used a shill account to promote their products. Shady, but not the worst thing ever.

The rest of the drama is over this site's administrator's handling of the crisis, which led to the firing of a well respected moderator. IMO, that is the worst part.

Excatly my point. Internet rumors or some clowns making accounts to upsell or downtalk the company DO NOT AFFECT MY DECISION. What affects my decision is how the company reacts to complaints and quality control issues. Im pretty sure NEA has said "if you dont want to buy our products, then don't"

If considered everything on the internet was true, then I'd be a gazillionare from some prince in africa, I'd have 100+ iphones and a free trip to australia... oh ya, and a 14" dong while I'm at it.

To the sheep that cancel their orders, THANK YOU!! As now my order will be bumped in the line !!

If you didn't read the thread in the OT, you have no idea, and would appear to be the sheep.

I agree.

I still will never buy an NEA product.

I watched the threads about issues, and was pleased to see them fixing the issues, and doing well.

Now reading their responses to the allegations being made, I cannot support them. If they had come out and admitted to everything, and gone on to apologize, things may have gone different.

Honestly goes along way, and it takes balls to own up to mistakes. That would have been the way to go IMHO.

But at the same time they aren't open with us here and won't respond directly to questions.

To even be more cynical, if there is active suppression of attempts to stop multiple-account-cross-posting practices here, is it that far a step to then suppress "bad news"?

There hasn't been many (I can think of one) independent reputable review of the NEA-15. All the rest of positive feedback were from these forums. How many can be trusted if such practices are as rampart as they might be?
 
This is the PM dealers were sending around complaining about NEA's "business practices", which ended up with USP taking action and getting canned. Please screencap before I dissapear.

There has been alot of bad blood with a few of us dealers over calling nea of there badly made products in the past. many of use have been put of a time out or told we can not comment on nea related subjects as they are getting upset. threatened with law suites have nasty insulting emails and pm's sent to us by dave from NEA.

yet jeff the owner of NEA bans himself as "charles martel" and says he will no longer go on CGN because of all the BS. Yet here he is as Gunbunny, backing up evey NEA post when there's yet another issue with an NEA product.

Dave from NEA is even playing along with it, just look at the back and forth between gunbunny and NEA dave!!

I know its not going to happen but if my company or anyone else on CGN had done this you would have banned them for life! When its gets around that jeff is gun bunny, there is going to be a big s**t storm, so i hope you guys have a plan if your not going to ban NEA for doing this.

Im not stupid i understand that the $5-10K a year CGN gets from NEA will out weight what they have done here. Im just letting you know that all the dealers are talking and know what happened and are waiting for the outcome.

Im not trying to make waves but i had a large amout of problems with NEA and think that no matter who they are you should treat them the same way you would anyother person that did this.

we will all be waiting to see what the admin of CGN has to say about this.

FYI, Enoch Wong makes 6+ figures on advertising alone on this site.

Yup. At this point I wish I had an order to cancel.

Total BS; and apparently we will get no answers, GT has already nuked the OT thread and NEA is hiding under the covers after popping up long enough to spread the muck around.

For the last few months several dealers have used personal accounts, or encouraged friends to post in other dealers threads, ours included, and spread misinformation and talk trash. People actively skirt around in the shadows to do whatever they can to prop up their business not by the merit of their products, but by slamming the competition.

We choose to operate only on the merits of our own product. If we f*ck up, we own up to it and make it right. We never talk down about the competition. Regardless, when faced with the gallery of those who wish to play outside fair business practices what defense do those that wish to be up front have?

You're all able to make up your own minds.. but I'm sure if you look you will see that any personal account by any staff of NEA had never been used to attack a sponsor or competitor.

Take it for what it's worth.. but get the whole story before passing judgment.

This sounds to me like NEA is in fact admitting gunnybunny was somehow affiliated with NEA. Whatever......

I'm going to step away from my computer and go hug my daughter now. Time better spent.
 
Shady business practices here don't really affect me personally aside from making me feel all sad inside but I want this over and done with so we can get back undistractedly to enjoying our sports and laying a butt-whooping on the antis.
 
The admin, in their wisdom, has just made it next to impossible to determine if anything posted about any site sponsor is the truth or just a shill.

Helluva marketing strategy. :rolleyes:
 
For all we know though, some of the people in here claiming to cancel their orders could be shills for other companies. :(

Is this what this site is about?
 
I have been following this since Dave at NEA made his first claim of his products being on par with LMT… really, none or this surprises me at all.

Dave, you come of as nothing more then a used car salesman.
 
It will be interesting to see how all this gets handled!

The end of CGN may be at hand!

Would be crazy to see a dealer mutiny over this, and all because of a few lies.

Seems that all the cliches like honesty really is the best policy, and the truth will always come out, have proven to be true here.
