Barnes Mustang /M&R bashing

vicb · March 9th, 2012, 12:41 PM

Seems like a Hail Mary, desperation video. Apparently he is screwed so he went back to his basic trash talking of M&R because he knows the equipment he's repping can't compare. His reputation as a negative person has far outweighed any positive he might offer. All he'll ever be is a Rich Hoffman wanna be.

a lot miles,and know lots of people who
ride Hogs and would not be caught dead rideing
with a Gullwing! I dont understand it.But they
are the ones that usually work behind a cubicle
and have all of the latest attire to look like a bad
azz on the weekend and ride five miles to a biker bar
owned by Hilton, and show their new skulls. I would
rather ride,anywhere,anytime,with anyone on any
brand! To each his own. The same applied to the
screen print industry. It does blow my mind how
two good companies choose their representation,
and might face big problems, if they are not care
full. Time will tell. it always does.

We call them Bar Hopper Harleys

And the cubicle guys with the snazzy HD leathers, gloves, chaps, skull caps etc we call them weekend warriors.

What I think about is Apple rejecting Flash and standing by that move, how many people predicted the demise of the IPAD because of no flash? Just about everyone, yet IPAD is still the strongest selling Tablet on the market, they did not bow down to other industry standards to sell their product, their product stands on its own and continues to dominate.

Mike, I think it's fair to mention the interchangeable components for the reason that any shop that may have three old gauntlets getting tired and wanting to trade up and maybe looking at sportsman versus RPM or Mustang may look at their inventory of squeegees, floods, kids pallets, bag pallets, adult pallets, large pallets, double sleeve pallets, long levee pallets, and could conceivably own 20k of interchangeable hardware. That's a benefit not replicating a new setup cost, especially if you have any custom made pallets.
Second point, I rushed out and got iPad and still wish it had flash, and a
USB port especially. It's still better than android, but room for improvement.

Mentioning it interchanges with it just would make me want to look closer at the "standard" and that's exactly what Robert did for me, he made me look harder at M&R. Was a super easy choice after that.

As far as iPad example. It's proven that a great product not only can but will change the industry standards on how things are done. If whatever Robert was pimping was that good, it would change it. Apparently the people have spoken over and over on that subject. Reality is tough sometimes. I know that it must be hard for him to idolize Rich, and fall so short.

When the iPad came out I never heard them talking about how crappy the competition was... oh wait, they were such a game changer they had none. Clearly that's not the case here.

Oh the irony...

[QUOTE=Printwizard;117918]

I love the 2M machines, and I believe the RPM Mustang is better than maybe the sportsman, but not as good as CIII. It has it's place and level, and it can be sold on its own merits just like that without the comparison.

If you are thinking of purchasing any type of screen printing equipment, I highly advise you to stay clear of Robert Barnes from Spider Machines. He sells Printex,Mustang Printers and has several business fronts.

Since your purchase is going to be a very big decision, I recommend that you research Robert Barnes so that you can see for yourself, that he has not only stolen from printing companies, but has also sold equipment falsely advertised as well as not working properly, or not even delivered the equipment.
Below is a quick copy and past of a few members here on this forum that will honestly tell their story of how Robert Barnes has ripped them off. I suggest that you take a few moments to read it, and if you follow up by contacting these people, they will surely convince you not to do business with him or his company!

Robert Barnes goes by many alias' on this forum...more than can be counted.
Ask the following people on this forum about their experience with Robert Barnes, or private message me here!
