it's a long trip from Alberta to New Jersey, but I'm sure Kick will be very happy to have you install the flooring in his newly renovated condo.

Not really, it’s regulated now.

The samples are sent away, and we bid on what they were evaluated at.

Costs about 15k a year to belong to this scam..

Yup.

But just to have a chance to bid on them.

If you don’t belong to that (I’m not gonna mention the name), you can’t bid..

No pat, this is strictly a flooring evaluation company that the insurance companies trust.

We bid from their evaluations.

That’s why it’s a scam.

They’ll give us under value for material, and let us charge the difference in transport.

Kinda like that ref tonight, saying good goal, then bad goal..

ahh, I see.

but the good goal/bad goal thing actually isn't a scam at all, that's just the league being too (frank)ing dumb to simplify the process.
