The gunshop I normally shop at is one of my distributors...it would be silly for me to haggle...I get better than normal prices anyway...
Funny story...
Guy calls me last week...
caller.."ahh is this the guy that makes holsters??
me..."yup thats me, what can I do for you??
Caller.."can you make me 10 of those discount holsters like you made for &^%$??
me.."yea sure can, the cost is &^%$, I can have them done in a day or two..I will drop them off at such and such..
Caller..."is that the best price you can do?? you sure you cant knock off a little bit for me??"
me..."welllll that IS my discounted price!"
Caller...Well ok then, thanks anyway"
me... "no worries I will talk to ya later"
guy hangs up, I go back to cutting some holsters and watching Barney..(dont ask!!)
Phone rings and YOU GUESSED IT!!!
Caller...hey there Dave, I got an idea...how about you knock off &&& and I will come and get them??How does that sound??
me..."you got cash"??
Caller...Sure do if you have a reciept"
me..."Ok give me your name and number and what you want them cut for and I will call you when they are done"
Caller..."Ok will do etc.etc.etc.) <~~~rather smugly I might add..
He comes by as promised and pays me with a grin on his face, I as well have a big grin on mine..
He got to save about $2.00 with the order, however he DROVE 40 something miles to save that $2.00 and save me time and money dropping them off.....I love customers like that
