Reminds me of a Peter Gabriel song.... "Diggin in the dirt"
So, Lets say I am a semi knowledgeable guy when it come to Ithaca sxs's. I have an interest in purchasing my 1st English sxs. I have been ALL over the internet, looking and soaking up as much information as I can. Feeling fairly comfortable, it's time to head out and see what this feel thing is when it comes to English guns. I'm told you will understand when you handle the right one. Hey, Quality Arms is in Houston, He has a couple of English guns on his web site. I'm going to make an appointment and go on the next phase of my journey. I like buying local anyway. I head out for the hour long drive.
When I arrive, I ask to see X,Y and Z. I'd like to handle these Mr. Boyd. So I do my thing, and not being an impulse buyer, I say thanks and let me think about it.
Am I going to be the next turd that you and your buddy dealers sit around and talk crap about over your single malt scotch and cigars? Are you going to tell them "hey if this guy calls, he is going to come over and waste your time"? What are the guys in the middle that are not your "whale" suppose to do? Get our understand of English gun feel somewhere else, and buy from you? Just don't waste your time learning? Do you need to make a purchase to be on the good to go list?
Back to school my friend, its called sales 101.
You don't even understand that if after my first post, you had said, well Bill, I'm sorry you got a bad impression come on over and look around. We can talk and I'll show you what I have to offer. BUT, this isn't about me, its about your condescending, sitting above all of us attitude proclaiming that your time is worth more than anyone else's.
After seeing your replies to the people on this thread, I'd sell all my shit and stop hunting before buying the right time of day from you.
Good luck with your business. Its sad to think what it could have been as opposed to what it is.
