Question:
Anyone ever deal with Shanghai Guitars in Ponca City, OK or with Joel Hibbs? They’re advertising a bass on Ebay… I made an offer ( a lowball, to see if they would deal ) and got a totally nasty-ass response. Sheesh. -Noizycat

Lol.. they probably get a lot. meh… Sales folks always think the customer knows what they have to go through, put up with, or we see from the same perspective. As if. — -rob O /() ^^
Response:
A really good salesperson schools the customer without condescending to him/her. At bottom a salesperson’s and a business’ mission is to make it easy for the customer to spend the dough. Sounds like Mr. Shanghai doesn’t get it. Edward G. ‘Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.’ –Henry Kissinger

What kind of price did they post? Was it a really good price to begin with? I do a lot of selling on ebay, and I’m pretty sharp about prices. I get a lowball offer every couple of weeks. Usually the offer is _so_ low I’d end up losing money on the sale at that price. On occasion I’ve sent back a reply with a little "emotion" in it. I try to keep it like when you walk into a store. All my business is "fixed price", S&H is stated upfront, etc. I just feel that when the price is really good, that should be enough. Sure enough, the last guy to send me a lowball offer got a response from me daring him to find it cheaper. He gave me an order last night. SteveO
