Last week I found the diversion problem with CalTan lotions. Here is what LotionBarn has been saying about us. I went undercover as ElectricBeach.

I hope this is not a faux pas, it is after all, the Lotion Barn message board... however... check out www.*****************
No, I don't work there, but I've bought lotions from their site and I was happy with the prices and the service.

We will be adding the new product as soon as they are available. The manufacturer just recently announced the new lines, that does not mean that they are fully available. When ever the new product are released, they are never fully available nation wide. Many sites will add the new prodcts before they are even available yet, taking preorders. We don't add them until we have them in stock.

Thanks for the heads up KOZMO.
You would think these people would had something more to do than act like kids. It's people like them that are the true threat to this industry. It's full of a bunch of idiots.

Reading posts at tantoday.com and tantalk.com is very educational - it is interesting to find out how salon owners try to trick their customers into buying their overpriced lotions and will use whatever means necessary, lying, etc.
One came up with the idea of designing a fake "approved" seal to stick on their bottles and telling customers no other lotion is acceptable on their beds.

Another (male) one talks about performing a certain bodily function into a bottle and selling that as his Private Label "goo". Real mature, aren't they? While the second example I quote was made half in jest, the first one was dead serious.

I think both these schemes would represent criminal behaviour in most jurisdictions!

The only idiots are on this board. It's nice to see the twisted, slanted portrayal of salon owners. Ya, all we do is scheme to rip off the customer. Get a friggin life, it's a business and you're all a bunch of cheap aholes who don't really know the first things about tanning to begin with. So you come on here and buy lotion at cost and then talk about how on all the other boards we're consipiring against you. Jeez. Tell me, where do you buy your cars? Your clothes? Do you guys create germancars.com and the go on and B&M about how the car dealers are consipring against you. Get the cal-tan while you can and please ship the new 2002 line so we can track it back to the distributor. Please, everyone buy the cal-tan 2002 line. lil1 you should change your name to lilcheapbeyatch!

For the record, I am *not* ElectricBeach (***** ?).
I answered a question in good faith, realized too late should not have posted a url, but being unregistered, could not edit the post. Someone edited the msg and removed the url but by then the damage was done.

Live & learn... I was only trying to help someone, not knowing low-life scums from the other boards come here imping and lying.

Sorry

Oh My God!! You're gonna start this again??? Dont you have something better to do??
lil1, just for your info, you don't get your lotions cheaper than salon owners.

A little more info: California Tan and John Abate have recently made it public that they will be pulling their products out of beauty supply stores and will also be going after internet discounters. The plan is that they will track the bottles that are shipped from sites like this and cut off the distributor that these sites are getting the products from. Much like now you have to go thru special steps to order Australian Gold products, they are going to be sueing to have their products removed completely from these sites.

Now lil1, I know that you want to start yelling and swearing at me, but just hold it in. I think we've made our peace in the past and all I'm doing is passing along information.

Sounds like you need to get laid lilbeyatch!
1. You don't get your lotion cheaper than I

2. Please, buy some here can you? We'd like to track it.

3. Tell us Lilbeyatch, about your vast experience in the tanning world. Please, we're dying to know.

Oh and nice analogy about the idiot reference, and nice try.

Look up this IP address, what does it tell you?

I really don't understand what those people are complaining about. If we can save a few dollars by buying our lotions off the internet what seems to be the problem they are getting our money everytime we tan in one of their salons. There the ones that need to get a life and just LEAVE US ALONE!!!!

I love it when 'they' talk that snazzy educated web lingo, ie. 2BStupid, etc.

Some people just don't get it.

That board is not even worth replying to. Free enterprise was only mentioned in passing and I'm sure the intelligence factor would restrict them from expounding further. There is a trailer park 4 u 2!

Not only that... but are these really the folks you want tanning in your beds? They seem like a nightmare waiting to happen. Picture this:

"Hi I came to tan. When did you last change your BULBS? What kind are they? No thanks I have my own lotion, I got it online. I am skipping the eye protection too. Is it okay that after I leave here I'm going to your competitor and tanning there too?"

LOL... I wouldn't sweat them folks, the world is full of small-minded people. Just another "sandbox" to contend with.

Don Smith said the TSO was dead himself. He is now working for Bruce at TanToday. Am I missing something?
