Default RE: Purchasing Etiquette?

ORIGINAL: DadsToysBG
I did have a regular customer that only bought small stuff from me, but whrn a new plane would come in he would spend a lot time looking thu it. Then a month later i would see him at the field with the same plane from mail-order. Since i price with-in mail order I knew it was't the price. One day when he was in and it was quite I ask him why. He told me he did'nt want to pay sales tax. Being as nice as I could i told him he was welcome anytime in the store to look at the box only. Now he buys most of his stuff with me. Dennis
Good for you, I think your action was justified. I can think of nothing worse than going to a local store to sample the goods, perhaps ask a few questions and then buying the exact same item mail order.
