We generally see eye to eye on most things -- .416's for example. And I get it that you don't like SSI and won't use them. That's your privilege and I can't fault you for your opinion. I don't think your disagreement needed to be raised on a public forum though.

For me, SSI offers a valuable service and I've been very satisfied. While you may find it unusual that I would pay for that service rather than "respond to a few emails and send a few wire transfers", doing so is a bit of an issue for me.

I know we are all busy, but I get a couple of hundred emails a day and my firm's spam filter grabs everything from Africa. So I miss them, unless I check. In the past, I'd have to find emails and send wires to a dip and pack company, a storage company, the shipping company, etc. Every time, I'd have to go to the bank and send another wire for another thousand or two. Takes time and delays when I miss an email.

SSI handled all that for me and it was well worth the price. My two cents. If you've got the time and the inclination to deal with all that hassle, more power to you. But I don't.

Charl, I like your business model.

I think many hunters will appreciate a package deal. All costs and fees are on the table.

Very clear, convenient and commendable!
