Ungrateful Buyers

[Precision40]

Long story short: I work 8 hours a day at my regular job, them come home and manage all my online auctions, research and respond to 10-20 "Can you get this gun and for how much?" questions, out of which 1 might reply back with a simple "Thanks" which is fine. But I had an auction with a guy who really rubbed me. I've always prided myself in responding politely and promptly when someone contacts me, but inevitebly life occasionally gets in the way...It happens

I went waaaaaay out of my way to help this guy out on an auction by only adding a $10 markup on a $495 item, give a FREE trigger job (that takes over an hour), FREE layaway, barely break even on shipping, ship out same day payment arrives. Then the guy has the nerve to zing me on feedback because I didn't immediately respond to his email.

Shnit like this really makes you question whether or not all the trouble is worth it.

Brings forth the old question.... Why are there more horses asses than there are horses?

Can you hit him back with feedback in any way? say something about poor communication skills, not friendly to deal with?

Well said sir.

Keep up the good work, don't let one bad apple spoil the bunch.

Bad customers are not worth the effort.

Spend your energy on those that work for you.

A small fraction will take too much of your time, always press for more, and be eternally ungrateful.

Find a polite way to not do business with them from the start - if possible.
