[Blindtlk] looking to purchase a pencil cane tip

[T. Joseph Carter]

I feel an obligation to recommend against Maxi-Aids every time 
someone brings them up.

Maxi-Aids has a reputation for bad business practices, including 
buying Perkins Braillers for about half price (basically cost of 
parts), built essentially as charity for the third world, and then 
reselling them at a slight discount over the retail price in the 
United States.

The Braille Monitor is full of stories of their dishonest (and 
illegal) practices, as well as the name game shuffle they employ to 
do business with people who know what kind of outfit Maxi-Aids really 
is—which seems really shady in and of itself to me!

I’ve never heard any complaints about LS&S.
