I did not get read all the posts looks like it did get off track but I think some gun dealers ,jewelry salesman think the customer is the enemy. Some are good enough that they convert the customer into a sale.
I see dealers all the time that say NO TIRE KICKERS ! To me this means buyer beware !!especially if there is no inspections, no return !tells me to RUN!!!!!
I am sure some are legitimate dealers that do this but usually I think they are hiding something.
John I understand your concerns but it is part of dealing with the public..... try to be patient write down all the crazy stuff they say and we will combine stories one Friday over beer maybe write a book.... It will read " You Can't Make This Stuff Up"
