Arrieta2,

While I sympathize with the frustrations of any man who's trying to make a living, I will say that working through "non-buyer shoppers" issues in the high end gun market, while obviously real, are easier than in other areas. Consider the real estate guy who has to personally ferry people around, spending lots of time (and even money). Or the Ferrari dealer who not only has to gauge the "buyer's" financial state, but also has to let him TRY OUT his product!

In my business I hate going through periods of interest with no traction, but it's the nature of sales. And I gird myself by thinking of how much harder those other kinds of sales are.

The economy is going nowhere but down, and will continue to do so until we flush the toilet of 5 decades worth of fake, Fed-induced cheap money "prosperity." And ALL boats drop when the tide rolls out.
