What I have found since the "China Cough" a lot of people have become really what I call "entitled" and have forgotten the old adage " threat people as you would like to be treated ". kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those kinds of A-holes are far too common today. Come out and stand on the road with my people and I, just for a morning. Year before last I drug a guy half way out of is car window for verbally abusing on of my girls. All she did was stop traffic from his direction. Would have pulled him all the way out, but his belt hung up. All in all, I hate people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mulesaw Report post Posted February 26 That is downright rude. It is fair if people ask for a price out of genuine curiosity, but that was insulting. Nice looking bag by the way, is the grey part of the saddlebag leather/suede, or is it some heavy felt? The contrast of the different surfaces looks really good.

bladegrinder Report post Posted February 26 I would have said, the best I could do for you is $250 now. There’s lots of clowns in the general public and a lot of what I call ham and eggers, some items no matter what they are need to be presented to people that are in the circle with the item that’s for sale rather then the general public. I read somewhere years ago about a study done that showed a large percentage of the population is certified nuts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bladegrinder Report post Posted February 26 (edited) A couple times when people have tried to low ball me on prices I’ve asked them if they have any jewelry, when they give that kind of dumbfounded stunned look I tell them I take guns,gold, silver, everything but bitcoin, that usually has them moving along.

That's an interesting approach! If you're open to new payment methods, you might want to consider accepting Bitcoin. There are some compelling reasons to do so, as well as some potential drawbacks. For a detailed analysis, check out the article on the pros and cons of bitcoin. It provides great insights into why adopting cryptocurrency can be beneficial for your transactions and business. Although I am 45 years old, I understand this area. I think you should too Edited May 31 by Domesed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greygeist3191 Report post Posted June 1 I used to be a real 'People Person.' Then I got a job where I had to be around people... No More. I know exactly what Frodo's talking about.
