For all the service industries that we have nowadays it really is amazing at how poor service can be. And, it really does go both ways - sellers and buyers alike could both bone up on how to treat people with respect.

I think a lot of dealers get jaded over the years and for some they really don't care. I had a very high profile auction house owner shoo me away from their booth at the first Atlanta National with a "We don't buy that esoteric crap - don't you know who we are?". Well, seems like that esoteric crap is a mainstay of their business now but do you think they're on my list of people to deal with should i ever want to consign? Not quite. Buy from them? Eh, no.

A polite "no thank you" is really all that was needed.
