Holy smokes Batman. I've been dinking around the hobby for a few years and finally had a need to order a couple of cap kits. So of course I ordered from Bob Roberts because of the massive adoration I've seen over the years, both here and at BYOAC.
Now I get it. I really get it. It seriously almost brings a tear to my eye. Two cap kits, cross shipped and two moon pies to boot. Most of you have experienced this. I'm sorry I waited so long.
 
heh see? technically i could prolly get caps and misc from somewhere else cheaper, but screw that. BOB IS THE MAN as you have now learned young grasshoppah.
 
Beware hidden men gifting moon pies.

You'll be back!

My two shipments from yesterday yielded a total of 10 moon pies. They must be cheaper than packing material.

Bob is a class act.
 
And THAT is how someone gets repeat business. I honestly don't know why business people all don't act just like Bob. Is it really worth it to get 1 order, take someone's money and give poor service? I think repeat business is worth the extra effort.
 
I've never received Moon Pies before with any orders (probably the wrong time of year) but I continue to order from Bob because he treats you with trust until you show him any reason not to. This is a small community and yet there are those who abuse that trust. Bob, so far as I can tell, treats you like one of the good guys from the start.
 
Ah yes, the periodical Bob Roberts thread.

The man should just be awarded his own sticky thread just for people to give him props.

I love getting Moonpies. The dude got me hooked I ended up ordering a couple of times through www.moonpie.com because they aren't readily available in my area.
 
+1 to Bob for not being a part of price fixing and oligopolies. :)
I was the only one who stood up to it for awhile and got dumped on.
not to surface old wounds, just saying +1 to Bob for sticking his neck out like that also.
 
I have never received moon pies either. Maybe this time, Bob just cross shipped today. I finally got my payment in the mail before I got the cross ship notification. I don't think that has ever happened before. He is really quick. :)
 
Yea got some recently also along with some beads! Great guy to deal with, I'm definitely will be ordering from him again. Too bad he doesnt take paypal but it's well worth getting a mo.
 
btw, i was at bass pro shops the other day, and they have moon pies 'cookies' that are peanut butter chocolate and mint chocolate. they are crunchy, very good, and taste just like the tagalongs and thin mints that girl scout cookies makes. you should try them.
 
the order i got the other day for my x2 k7000 fly cap hot kits i got 2 moon pies and some beads and a hard plastic cup (it was right before M.G.)

edit: coffee mug, you lucky duck, kids loved the beads
 
+1 I remember the moon pies from Bob the first time I ordered from him way back in the days. The cross shipping and speed is like an extra treat even if he didn't throw anything extra into the package.
 
I have ordered from Bob many times, have received lots of lagniappe (remember when he flirted with my wife?), but have never received a moon pie...
 
I've never received moon pies. I just figured he was psychic (which he is) since I hate them.

He's no psychic. He's just a computer. That explains how he's able to do all the stuff he does. Part of his logic is he has a web crawler, he probably noticed 8 years ago that you mentioned somewhere that you don't like moon pies, memorized it in his database and when he fills your orders it rejects the moon pies out.

Just think of him as Robocop, but with a soldering iron instead of a gun.
 
Yea got some recently also along with some beads! Great guy to deal with, I'm definitely will be ordering from him again. Too bad he doesnt take paypal but it's well worth getting a mo.

Why would anyone get an MO to send to Bob? I hear that all the time and I always wonder, why not just send him a check???
 
First order:

Moon Pies
Mardi Gras Cup with lid
Mardi Gras Beads
Solar powered Calculator

Second order
Moonpies

i wonder how he gauges how much he should send lol

Also i've had my game cab for over 8-10 years, use to buy from the shack tho online sellers have better selection and prices. Then i ran across Bob's site a while back, it was hard to find what i was looking for but that's just because i didn't really know what i was looking at lol. I joined this forum and within a week had placed my first order since he was the only place that i could find to source certain harnesses ect.. since then i've placed a second order (in less than 3 weeks) and vow only to shop with Bob when possible.
