Members Sparky6string Posted May 7, 2005 Members Share Posted May 7, 2005 So I go into my local shop and look around for a while since it's been a couple of months since I've been there. I find around 5 items I'm interested in so I ask about them. One by one he says to me "Oh, I don't think I'm gonna sell that" or "Oh, those aren't for sale" etc. I'm thinking to myself 'is this a store or your personal collection on display'. I'm really turned off by this and I'm not sure that I'll be going back again. Anyone else have this experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a little shop though, and the owner runs the place and is the only employee. We've been friends for a few years and have enjoyed a good relationship, but I'm sick of this kind of garbage.Sorry for the rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did; I said, "Why do you have all this gear out with the stuff for sale but you don't want to sell it?" His answer? "Because I'm an asshole", apparently joking with a big {censored}-eating grin on his face. His joke wasn't too far from the truth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shocker Posted May 7, 2005 Members Share Posted May 7, 2005 Maybe he was looking for you to make an offer? //S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sparky6string Posted May 7, 2005 Author Members Share Posted May 7, 2005 Originally posted by Shocker Maybe he was looking for you to make an offer?//S Maybe. I was thinking it might have been his way of trying to get more for the items than they would have gone for otherwise. Either way, homey don't play dat.

You mean ask him if he's selling them on ebay?Another possibility is he really doesn't want to sell them but doesn't want his wife to know that he's keeping that much stuff.
