Let's say you were at the flea market...

2017-02-14 at 2:36 PM UTCAnd selling some guns.
You have a long and somewhat informative talk with a customer about various .45 caliber pistols that you have for sale. The customer then informs you that he is going to have a look around but will probably be back.
A few minutes later, this customer comes back, eyes a pistol that you have marked at $519, and says "I'll give you $500 cash for it." You don't want to give him a discount. Do you...
A. Politely inform him that you can't take any less than advertised price for it
B. Try to explain to him why you have to charge so much for it
C. Explain why the advertised price is a good deal
D. Have a fucking meltdown over it, saying "that crap doesn't work here" before accusing the customer of trying to rip you off and doing the whole "how would you like it if..." routine complete with several false equivalences and accusations
If your answer is anything but D, congratulations, you're not an employee of a company called "HK specialist" (that doesn't actually have any HKs for sale) and you weren't at the SCACA gun show this weekend.

some of those gunshow table clowns are major dicks. a few years ago some jackhole told me that .300blk was garbage and would never become a popular round then told me 40mm ammo cans are so expensive because there arent any more of them available...when about two weeks prior i had been to a DRMO facility that had, literally, hundreds of pallets full of empty 40mm cans.
its a pick-and-choose thing. now, whenever i need something at a gunshow i know what vendors to go to, and what ones to make snide comments about to people with me at a volume just loud enough for the offending vendor to hear. -

Indeed. I can't even find the metal ammo cans in my area anymore, everyone has just started getting the plastic ones and trying to sell them at the same price

I'm the customer in this scenario. I just said "ok" and walked off and bought the same gun for like $10 more at another vendor
I made sure to walk by them with my new acquisition a couple of times though

It was a vendor, but these gun shows are like flea markets in a way. Everyone goes there to look around and try to get the best deal. If I had walked into his store and tried that, I could understand him getting a bit annoyed -
