Question for inquiring minds: was Platz selling calls of did you buy from someone else?

I'd like this question answered. Myself, as well as numerous others, would like to know if our orders from 2016-2017 are not being filled, while calls are being built and sold at call maker shows, such as Unicoi?

Since when did getting on a list mean a maker has an obligation to fill your order prior to making other calls to sell for shows, let alone fill your order in general? People need to quit subscribing to the thought that some of these makers "owe" them a call, and instead understand it's a PRIVELEGE to be able to buy from them when their time comes.

I have always seen it as my privilege to make someone a call.

Laughable the amount of butthurt a grown man can have over the manner in which  another man spends his own money. As if it's somehow virtuous to only buy from makers that have tables. Modern day virtue signaling is nauseating.

To the OP, freaking awesome haul Pooh. I'm sure you are greatly appreciated by each call maker you choose to support.

Every since the call maker sent me an email and stated my call would be ready in about a year, yet it has been 3+ years and no correspondence, much less a call, after many emails and phone calls from my end, about 6-12 months apart. Waiting in line is one thing, but not fulfilling your orders while making others to sell at a higher profit margin at a show is complete and utter BS. I take a man for his word, and I place calls with men who I expect to keep their word, not some lame a$$ person who thinks it's my privilege to place an order. That is laughable at best. As has been stated by others, a call maker should take it as a compliment for others to seek out their calls, and place orders, and they should also realize it is their privilege to build it and sell it, at an agreed upon price, and keep their word along the way, not have a pompous a$$ attitude like you portray.

This is such a laughable statement. They are selling a good that people do not have buy. It is not a privilege, it is a transaction. Lol!

I have no dog in the fight but could not get over the absurd statement.

So what you all are saying is basically if a callmaker makes a list to keep track of orders and go in line when he fills his ORDERS ( KEYWORD) he cannot participate and sell calls at call shows. ( which are not orders for anybody) If he makes a call it has to go to the next person in line. This is the most obsurd thing I've heard and now I understand why so many makers have quite taking orders.

I blame the lack of filling orders on the fact that calls are being sold on sites like this for 4+ times the call makers asking price.  The call maker has about as much obligation to fill the order as the buyer has obligation to keep the call and not trade or sell it.  I don't understand where you are coming from with some of your remarks.  I'm sure you have never sold or traded a call though.  If you no longer want the call then just tell the call maker and quit trying to slander someone's character.  I'm sure you know them personally though...these guys have families and full time jobs and are not making calls to get rich.  If you want a call right away, then call someone that does it for a business.  And as someone else stated, what would be the point for these guys to have a table if they are only selling like 10 calls at a show...I'm sure if they were making a lot of calls then you would have had yours a long time ago.

Unfortunately for you, in my case, the call maker had NOT quit taking orders when I placed my order. If he had, we would not be having this discussion. I expect a man to keep his word, or follow up with those on his list as to why things are not tracking along as planned. As I have stated, I have reached out to him 4-6 times over 3 years and the excuse I have been given repeatedly was that he was too busy to make calls he promised 3 years ago. Too busy to make calls means you are too busy to make calls, right?

Please help me understand what I am missing here. I am all ears.

What calls are being sold for wherever has no bearing on the deal me and a call maker made, period. My word is good, his word should be as well. Maybe your word isn't, and that is why you feel the way you do. And you are correct, I have NEVER, let me reiterate, NEVER, sold or traded a custom turkey call. I would be fine buying it and signing a statement to not sell for a higher price than I purchased it at, or for that matter, not selling ever. Don't try to put words in my mouth, you won't win that battle. I know what I know, and I am not trying to slander or smear anyone's names, I am simply stating the facts. You, and several others, on the other hand, are showing your ignorance by speaking about a subject (my order and correspondence with him) that you have no knowledge of.

I agree 1000% I have had orders place with 2 call makers going on 3 years. One will not answer multiple emails and the other has responded only once. I feel like if you take my name down on a list you owe it to me to make me those calls, just as I owe it to the call maker to pay him as soon as it's done.

[yelpaholic]

Great haul Pooh.   Try sending them part of the purchase price when you order, that might speed up things.

I  was on a big time  pot call makers list for 3 years. At 39 months I sent a message asking about my call, I was told that he had others before mine. Three months later, I asked again and received the same answer. On the 3rd inquiry, he kicked me off his list.

I would make a call even for you Brandon.

[PSEoutlaw07]

Wow, that's some calls there
I went to Unicoi in 2016 and my buddy picked up a Watkins Snakewood over persimmon
and his jaw dropped and he said he wanted it, Marlin told him nope that was his own personal call
and he had no other snakewood/persimmon calls on the table that year
So I'm sure that one you got is pure turkey!

[VGJ5]

Nice haul Pooh! I picked up a regular Walnut/Magnolia shortbox from Lamar last year; it's a killer. I REALLY want one of those handled short boxes like yours. I got yo make it to Unicoi one of these years!
