Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts

I will say this.  We all have been in the hobby awhile and typically we have the money to play in the hobby so we are going to get more knowledgeable as we go on. I guess I get disappointed by some who think that a person that does this 15, 20,30 years isn't going to know more and more.  In addition there are a lot of greedy folks out here. There is a place up here in Dallas where they take your name down the first time you come in. The second you come and don't buy they literally will turn equipment down or off so you can't demo or hear it. If you are too iffy too bad for you. In addition to that in this Information Age one would be foolish to think that folks aren't going to do their research before dropping mega bucks on gear. Some with these attitudes really take the fun out of it 

I totally understand that time is money.  Hell I'm a lawyer. But when folks think you just listening and won't buy if you like is agitating AF. I try to only demo stuff I intend on actually buying or consider buying. If I ask about a specific item that means I have heard researched it and I might be ready to go in it.  A dealer would have to at some point realize that people that run businesses or can afford this stuff probably researched it pretty damn good. In the past that wasn't the case but now it is.  They have to adjust 

Get great treatment as i wear 50k Rolex.

I wear a 25.00 doller Timex and bib cover alls.. They can ALL kiss my fat wallet pocket in my wifes purse with a pistol in it to boot..  I've told the 60K story.. It's like 120K now..

Put me on "THIS LIST". My list is hangin' I was at a place in Sacramento it took the guy a few minutes to look up and tell me where the repair facility was. You'd a thought I was asking for a kidney.. Bars on the windows, shotgun in the corner, I felt right at home.. Glad I wore my vest..

Regards

I have the opposite problem in that everywhere I go people fawn all over me.

It’s become so bad that my standard reply to "How may I help you" is now "You can go away and leave me alone".
