However, I was and still am looking for a rifle, and nobody except that person wanted to give me the time of day. You could tell they thought I had no money, and was a waste of their time. Instead of trying to help me find something, they brushed me aside, and would either talk to their neighbor, or another customer. I personally cant stand that, and no matter how good a deal the gun is, I won't buy it.
Good for you! FWIW, one of my best friends is a self-made multimillionaire. He and his wife don't dress fancy, or have expensive jewelry etc....and are usually wearing jeans and clothes you'd find at Walmart. (Read "The Millionaire Next Door"...this type is more common that you'd think).
Whenever they get ready to buy a big-ticket item, they always get a kick out of watching commissioned salespeople ignore them (clearly, thinking they can't afford what they're looking at), or even saying "just browsing" to a salesman who is dismissive of them...and then buying the item-plus a few more- from the first salesman who doesn't ignore them or act like he's wasting his time approaching them.
He's the sort of guy who could and would buy a $2000 item without thinking too much about it, as long as he liked the deal and/or the seller...but considers courtesy part of the deal and will happily walk away from an a-hole before coming out with the cash.
