    Aloha, I have found vendors at jewelry shows to be snobbish, stand
    offish, and sometimes down right rude, and uninterested.  When asked
    the cost, I would get a flippant answer, offense to any potential
    purchaser.  Rudeness in return would solve the matter. The truth lies
    in purchasing one item, large or small, to melt the exterior the
    vendor displays. Once you are their customer, prices drop
    immediately.  The more you buy, the greater the discount.  The mere
    fact was simple, you don't buy, I don't have time to talk with you.
    Vendors are there to serve.  I do not think the gentleman was timid.
    I think vendors can be coarse and rude, unless they know you are the
    genuine buyer.  Then the situation changes to accepting you as a
    buyer. I'm am blown away by some of your answers.  It makes me feel
    like I never want to venture into your store.  If you display the
    same attitude on this site as you do in real life, the I say heaven
    help us all.  Sometimes you get more from a person with honey than
    pouring vinegar on a wound. Politeness, courtesy, honesty, and
    integrity is what buyers want.  The want to be served.  At the other
    side of the sword, vendors should do the same for they never know
    who has that next $1,000 or $1,000,000.00 check.  It pays to be
    respectful to all. When I sell, I sell. I don't shy away from people
    wanting to buy from me. I welcome it. It's my bread and butter.  In
    my house, there is never enough bread and butter. I can always use
    more.  A small company could develop into a huge, dynamic force but
    I bet they would remember who gave them the best service when they
    were small, and a new alliance would be built upon the foundation of
    genuine concern for all customers' needs, whether they purchase or
    not. Just because one does not purchase at that moment, doesn't mean
    they wouldn't buy in the future.  I believe if you give your best
    side, it returns 10 fold and more. Sugar begets sugar and foulness
    begets foulness. Don't do to another that you don't want done to
    yourself.  Nature's Law.
