Re: I just got phone screened by a dealer and rejected

I called a Magnepan dealer in California (Walnut Creek?) and said, 'Hi, I live in a state with no Magnepan dealers and want to buy a pair of MG12's, do you have them in stock'. That's damn near verbatim.

The dealer got very weird and kept saying things like, 'who are you', and I kept telling him, 'My name is such and such, I live here, and I want to BUY this, do you have it'. Finally he said, 'this is a weird phone call, who is this?' and I said, 'someone who is not doing business with you, apparently' and hung up. I ended up ordering my speakers from another dealer.

What a fruitcake. Unfortunately, hi-fi is a business that seems to attract wack-o's. I'd say 3/4's of the hi-end dealers I've known had SERIOUS personality problems.

Aside from price, this is probably another reason agon is so popular. I'm so tired of dealing with seriously strange individuals. (To be fair, I think I'd rather wash cars for a living than sell to your average audiophile, so I feel for the dealers, too. I just with they weren't so damn ODD).
