Ray,

    You're giving out your ss#????? 

    You are waiting for someone to steal your identity. As a victim of
    identity theft, guard that number like it's the Hope Diamond!!! 

    It doesn't cost anything to get a resale #, I don't sell to the
    public so I don't collect tax. So at the end of the year all I have
    to do is write down a few figures and I don't pay them a cent. I
    know that this puts me on the map, but I am a real business so it
    doesn't matter. If you're trying to fly under the radar (good luck),
    then you probably don't want this. 

    But please, no matter how much you trust your dealers, you don't
    know who has access to the files back at the showroom. Once your
    identity is stolen there are certain credit checks that will always
    be on place on your name, it's a serious PIA. My lawyer said to not
    give anyone my ss#, the doctor's office asks for it all the time and
    I don't give it up. 

IMHO,
Amery
