Then he hits me with it, he only has $2,500, about $650 short. He starts with the usual "money is tight" and "business is slow" etc. I think "Then why are you buying a $4,000 rifle?" He gives me the old, "I'll give you $3,500 for it in cash right now out the door." As if we are still in the negotiation phase of our agreement. Now I'm annoyed. I tell him the agreement was $4,250 and I'm not interested in anything else. So he tries "OK let me take MY gun, here is $2,500 and I'll see what I can do about TRYING to get the rest." I almost died laughing "YOUR GUN?" I point out that it was charged to my corporate card so it is IN FACT my gun and the books agree.
Understanding he's one of these "somthing for nothing" assholes and still wanting to help him for some reason I ask, when can you get the balance? I'll try and hold it for you rather than return it. Now he gets indignant, and says $3,500 is all he will pay, "Take it or leave it." I'm sure he figures a small dealer like me cannot afford to eat a major purchase like this and I will take whatever crumbs he offers. So now it's time for him to leave.
So now he want's a full refund of his deposit, despite signing a special order form that states "refused merchandise will be returned with money from the customer deposit." My plan is to ship back the AUG and keep the cost of S/H and return S/H from the deposit and give him the rest. The whole time he is gonna sue me for the full refund, etc. OR I can just take it and accept $3,500 for the AUG + 20 mags. I wonder if this is how the guy got all his toys?
So anyway for the last 5 hours I've been checking out this AUG. I sold one of my HBARs a few months back and kinda miss it. And THIS ONE looks damn good next to my other one. I'm thinking I need to just keep it, probably find a HBAR for it and replace the one I sold. So I call Mr. Dickface and inform him he can come by and pick up his deposit in full. Then he asks "What are you gonna do with the gun? Wouldn't you rather sell it to me than ship it back at a loss?" He is after all still very interested in it, but only for $3,500. I tell him NO I'm gonna just keep it, his business is not the kind I'm interested in at all.
But I need to thank Mr. Dickface, I'd have never boght it for myself and I got a GREAT deal. BTW, he called later today and offered to go as high as $3,600 I swear they never learn.
If he calls again, I'm gonna counter offer it at $4,800. LOL.
