<p>[QUOTE="andyluw12, post: 1235144, member: 31552"]Ok, I've had a great time reading this thread-there were many laughs, a few points to take notice of, and many, many points of view-so I will make my own thoughts short and sweet! #1-Why doesn't the owner have an answering machine or let it pick up if he doesn't want to answer? If he answers then he should be willing to do business/be professional. #2 Yes he may have thought the question to be a waste of his time-but does it hurt to take ten seconds to help and not alienate a potential customer? (He would make an awful bartender/server with that attitude!) #3 Yes he probably saw the OP as yet another internet amateur infringing on his business, and that #4 he had nothing to gain from the conversation businesswise, and if anything you were just seeking free advice. Call it non-professional people/business skills on the part of the dealer who needs an answering machine to save him from questions that aid people who want to take business away from him on the internet. The OP did nothing wrong by letting a phone ring-hoping to talk to a rational human being. Yes, the question could have been answered on the internet (here) or on another day, but once again-has the dealer heard of an answering machine?? Ooops- I don't think I was short and sweet as I'd hoped lol...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
