[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 2164801, member: 7292"] I had a run in with a shop owner once over something sort of similar. A guy came in with a gun and tried to pawn/sell it. The owner of the shop low balled him and the guy started to walk out. Just as he got near the door, I simply asked, well how much were you wanting for it (a question the shop owner never asked). I immediately got yelled at by the shop owner, something along the lines of I'm not gonna let you undercut me right here in my own store. Now in retrospect, I suppose I should have just followed the guy outside, but I still firmly believe that if I were the store owner, I wouldn't have made any kind of stink. I had my shot and the guy walked away from me. After that, it's free market. In my case, I didnt' butt in or try to steal the deal. But hey, it's his shop he can do what he wants. I'm just throwing this out there to reiterate the point that shop owners, apparently, don't want anyone making any kind of deal on their property unless it's them, even if they've already blown the deal.
