I moved this here from a different thread, to provide the other side of what you'all are describing.

You just never know who you are talking to.
Sometimes the other party has a clue. And plenty of money.
When someone starts running all that self ingratiating $--t on me, they start to sound like a stripper.

I know it's all lies and bs as soon as it starts.

I have literally heard the "Oh, I'm just looking to get a nice home for my poor, single, unwed, daughter, so that her baby has a nice SAFE place to live", 50 times.
Selling the occasional decent gun is often just as bad.

As soon as I start hearing all that bs, it feels like a snake is running up my pantleg.


Out there doing it best I can.
