Weirdest Question asked when selling gear?

"Do you smoke? Do you drink? Do you have a dog? How old are you? Are you married? How tall are you, how much do you weigh? What is your hair color? What do you do for a living? How long have you been doing this? How long have you worked there? Where were you before? -------->"

Finally, I asked, "Are you interested in the piece, or are you interested in me?" Once he got over the shock, the answer was that an audio component was a reflection of the owner. What really threw him for a loop even more that I decided it wasn't worth doing a deal with him.

Are you the original owner? No, I am at least the third. The manufacturer, the dealer, then me.

Has it ever been serviced? No, it has not broken down yet. Maybe after I sell it.

I know where people are coming from, but if an item is well cared for, who cares how many owners? If something has been serviced, does not mean it is a lemon. With high end gear, more times than not it means it is in better shape.

ah.....its good to see you guys have a good sense of humur and bit back!!!

Wait, where's my list....

Actually, the weirdest was probably from a guy that wanted to know
the religion of the owner of the hifi company in question before he bought the product.
Did he buy it? What do you think?

Hey Tim. The person who asked your blood type could be Asian. In Japan that's what they ask, as opposed to the "what's your astro sign" out here. I'm of Japanese decent, but have red, white and blue running through my veins, and when I heard about blood type profiling from some people from Japan I couldn't believe it.

Actually, I've been really lucky. I've never dealt with any oddballs, only cool fellow A'GoNers.
