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

This thread highlights the importance of first impressions.  The very dealer that one person a few posts back speaks glowingly of was horrible on the phone and would be the last place I would spend my money.  My interaction was with the owner of the company, so I have to think they set the tone for the business.  Perhaps I should give them another chance, but there are too many good dealers here in the Northwest to take the chance of subjecting myself to that again.  

Have I ever breathed air? Answer to both...most of the time.

You know the upside to being turned off and walking away is it could save a good deal of money and expensive mistakes. 

@dvddesigner about 12 years back we would travel to Houston, Texas  to see my in-laws. We would stay out by the galleria mall and there was a MODIA electronics store there. There was a guy named Mike who I would go see and for 3 years I would go in and look and listen and in the 4th year I bought a classe amplifier and a cp800.  I knew he thought I was always kicking tires but he was patient nice and always took his time. Great guy and experience. But it reminded me why I bought from him. He earned it. I felt like I took up his time and he earned my trust and that sale. Unfortunately, I have had to deal with folks too in the past who I thought were cool but weren’t. Very unfortunate but that’s how it is. If you educate yourself in this game some folks don’t like it but it is what it is.
