You try wading through that horseshit from some kid that you have T-shirts older than, in the process of trying to spend a C note and you'll see what the problem is. |
Wow it seems like I've read a bunch of the conversations before. I feel bad for all you people who get into talks like that. Hey man I got to the GC in Akron and I've never had anyone EVER push me into buying sometihng or saying, hey that sucks get these. The day someone says that to me, i'll probably just laugh at them.
The key to make your GC visits pleasureable is to keep going back to the same guy. Make friends with him. After awhile of talking he'll figure ut you probably know more than him (pro audio) and that he is there to get you good deals. I bought a roadrunner gig bag. $29.99 went up to my guy and said hey how about this for $25 total with tax. GREAT! Saved like $7 on a $30 gig bag.
