Default Re: What made you feel good today?

Had that recently with a set of dining chairs we no longer needed ... and were literally new/never used.

Had a couple come and look at them ... and the kept on saying .... oh we can get these new for half that price ..... my response was ... "that's nice ... best off you go and buy them ... which store can you get them for that price". No real response to that.

Later that day a lovely lady that lived on the other side of Sydney said she wanted them and could she see them .... she came in an appropriate vehicle to take 8 dining chairs at least (Kia Grand carnivals are huge inside) .... she looked at the condition and said to us we had them on sale too cheap and paid us more cos the condition was better than she expected .... even better WIN.

Was happy to sell to her as her attutide was awesome and she was genuinely interested in buying them.

First couple came back asking if we had them for sale .... told them we sold them for more than was we were offerring to a lovely lady .... she couldn't grasp this concept and came around wanting to ensure they sold .... like WTF. Found out their equivalent chairs they could by for half the price were cheap and no where near as solid as the ones we were selling .... so apples with oranges there.

Lets just say first couple were non-Australian background stereotypically.
