In Stefan's defense, he gave me all sorts of good service without asking a dime--most of it unrelated to insurance. Other stuff I paid for. If he wants to market insurance with a substantial markup, that's fine with me. If I don't want to purchase from him, I won't.
He also shipped a bike for me. I'm sure he marked that up as well.....but he gave me a place to change oil and to store the bike on both ends, and he took care of various stuff that I forgot, served as go-between when I had scheduling difficulties, met me on a streetcorner when I couldn't find my way even though he had better things to do with his time.... Plus I stayed in his unfinished house and ate dinner with his adorable kids. Try asking Arisa for that kind of service.
I mean, really: my second time around I bought insurance from Arisa directly. But I made that choice deliberately. No one held a gun on me (as we Americans are fond of saying, for some unfathomable reason).
Enjoy!
