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


I have and it's extremely disappointing

Yes. I think everyone eventually runs into some arrogant jerk. Although as my career moved on, it happened less and less. Audio folks can typically figure out what you can afford. Some of them are only in it to make money, they are not there because they love the music and high hi. So they will make a call and write you off, right or wrong. Although if they are disingenuous, I'll write them off and not buy there. 
 

 

There's a guy in Chicagoland. Quintessence audio. 

He was very accommodating demoing equipment for me. I didn't buy and felt no pressure. If I find something I really want, I won't hesitate to buy from him. Highly recommended! 
 

When I go to dealers it's on my days off, so I'm in my shorts and scruffy gear.

They dismiss me as though I can't afford anything in their shop.
