Well I don't want to sound like I'm chimming in with those against you Tracklayer, correctly me if I'm wrong on the following points. 1. Your upset because you drove all that way all to find out the engine you wanted was now 25 bucks more than what you thought it would be correct?? 2. You felt that because it was, the owner had some obligation to come down in price to what you origionally thought you'd pay, correct?? 3. You further got upset cause you went to buy a piece of rolling stock and the coupler was broke and the owner wouldn't bargin with you because so correct?? 4. You got upset because you felt the owner was being rude to you correct?? Those four things seemed to be the case when I read your first reply. I give you the benefit of the doubt that a 25% merchandise increase storewide all at once is a bit high for a LHS. I'm sure he has merchandise from all kinds of manufacturers and not every one of them increased their prices that made him increase his prices for EVERYTHING in the store. I give you the benefit of the doubt if he was blatenly being rude to you as his customer. If he raised his prices to be greedy then shame on him, but do you know that for a fact?? If he raised his prices cause he really had too, because he held off on doing so as long as he could until he had no other option because of his expenses in running his store, paying employees, utilitiy bills, etc... it's still sorta shame on him that he did it all at once instead of gradual increases over time as his expenses and overhead increased....but then again, he has a business to run but won't be for long if he's not making profits. Nothing against you, if I was I shrink, I'd say the reason your so upset is because you drove all that way expecting to pay 100 and found out you'd have to pay more for it than you thought you would, and all the circumstances that happened after that just added fuel to your fire. He didn't bargin with you on the rolling stock for a lower price because it was broke, but you said he did offer to fix it for you. If you hadn't of previously seen that engine in his shop for 100.00, you would of went in that day, saw it for 125, wouldn't have known any better and probably would have gladly bought the engine anyway. Thus him offering to fix the coupler on the rolling stock instead of giving you a discount wouldn't have been no big deal to you either. I guess the biggest question to weather people are on your side or not on this issue is, did he in fact increase his prices 25% to solely rip people off and be greedy, or is that the reason you think he did it for because you were mad the engine cost more than what first seen it for??? Has this man always been this rude to you and other customers every time you've been in his store or just this instance?? Maybe he was just upset himself that day cause him and his woman had a fight earlier that morning or something. I'm not taking sides, just trying to understand what's fact and what's emotion that's making you despise this man and his store. Of course non of our opinions really matter cause none of us was there, only you was so how you feel now based on that is really all that matters to you. Thanks for coming out on these forums and venting to all of us about it though. We're here for ya !!
