To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing today to be informative as to the nature of Mr. Barry Carr and to the nature and character of his business ethics and practices.
I would like to introduce myself first. My name is Scott Brady and I live in the state of North Carolina. I am an avid KISS fan and a friend of Mr. Barry Carr as well as a business acquaintance. I also am part of a KISS tribute band based out of North Carolina. (Love Gun)
Since forming the band we knew that we had to have a professional costumer for our costume and stage needs. It was a 4 year search until we happened upon Barry Carr. I had searched everywhere all over the internet with no results until one day in the latter part of 2004 while doing yet another internet search. I sent an email which Barry replied to within 2 days. Since then we have been conducting business and have also became really close friends.
I came to know Barry back in late 2004 as we had a business transaction together for a piece of KISS costume replica memorabilia that he was the seller and I was the purchaser; in which case the transaction was one of the smoothest and best online experiences I had ever had. He handled every part of the transaction with the utmost professionalism that I had ever known a business to do.
Barry and I firstly negotiated all terms of the said transaction prior to my purchase that way I was informed upfront of how, when, where, etc. that the transaction was to take place.
Barry also went out of his way to ensure that I would be pleased with the product by first sending me via email several pictures of his past projects as well as references to further solidify his authenticity and his workmanship. I was really blown away by this, but I took it as him being honest and professional.
I furnished Barry with all measurements required for him to begin production along with payment (In-Full) which included all shipping and handling charges and three weeks later my product arrived as described and was perfect in every way.
Barry has since then grown his business to excel in other facets of the costuming world to include, but not limited to Batman & Robin, Star Wars, and various other Rock Music band personalities. Not only does Barry produce costumes, but has also ventured into and partnered with custom boot makers to accommodate his costume customers with fully-fitted, customized boots and shoes for their costumes.
It has totally been an amazement as to the leaps and bounds the heights in which Barry has taken his business to. I find his professionalism and business ethics not to be matched by others in the same league as he is in presently.
He always has went out of his call of duty and responsibility to the customer to make sure that all areas of each and every transaction have been one of which no detail has been spared. It will be a true pleasure to me that I know that I now have a professional costumer to secure future costume needs.
In closing; I would like to say that in all the years of searching and dealing with other costumers…….Barry Carr is the most honest, polite, and professional business person to deal with. He will go out of his way to make sure his customers are 100% satisfied with the product or products purchased.
If for any reason I would need to be contacted for reference to Barry Carr; I may be reached via email at genethunder2001@yahoo.com and I will be glad to speak of his business practices and ethics in detail.
Respectfully,
Scott Brady
