"Here's a couple of stories. One guy had a "Fox" BS-E in 12ga in good shape, used but good. He wanted $1200.00. I asked why so much and if he'd go down (and no I did not intend to buy it). He said that he'd drop the price $50.00 and the reason why it was priced is that it's a "AH Fox". I told him that the BS-E is nothing more than a dressed up Savage/Stevens 311. Boy did I get the look!! He told me if I didn't want to buy it to stop wasting his time and take a hike."
I have to say, I can see the guy's point. If you had no interest in buying, why were you wasting his time trying to talk price? The guy seemed like he was happy before you crossed paths with him.
As for me, the worst I have seen is that guy Bob from Bob's Gun Shop, the one with all the over priced Parkers. At the Tulsa show a couple years ago I was peering over a few of his guns when a very mild, well dressed older gent asked politely if he could handle a plain grade M21 Winchester - Bob snapped "No! That is an expensive gun!" The gent replied "I know what a 21 is - how do you expect me to consider buying it if I can't hold it?" Bob replied "You don't need to hold it to buy it."
