No assumptions. Educated conclusions from what you publicly posted denigrating the very real considerations that go into making a purchasing decision any businessman has to make in costing a product such as how long the product will take to turn over, cost of employees, flooring, etc, and called them "lies" and Rick Harrison a "creep." He is being honest in explaining to a potential seller of an item why he could not offer the full retail price the seller wanted to receive that an expert may have just appraised it as being worth at retail. You demonstrated your ignorance of actuals business realities. Do you even know the difference between retail and wholesale?
I am a great believer that when people show you what they are, believe them. You showed me what you are with your unwarranted attack on the extremely reasonable business discussions and practices of Rick Harrison on the PawnStars.
You showed that YOU'VE never run a business and had to show a profit when you called his explanations "lies." It's even more obvious when you denigrate the clear, reasonable facts and explanations I've posted to you citing facts from the antique and new/used gun business of which I have actual, real world experience gained from actually DOING WHAT YOU HAVE NOT (i.e. buying and selling modern and antique firearms or any product) and WHAT YOU WERE CRITICIZING and then having you double down on your ignorance by calling me a "blowhard" and then you've slung insults at me and another freeper, for daring to criticize YOU and point out your obvious ignorant claims.
ozzymandus, YOU ARE ignorant of the realities of business. . . But you can cure that ignorance problem you have. Get an education. I'm not sure you can cure that incivility problem you have hanging all over your attitude. It's simple try not insulting people who are not ignorant about such realities and have far more experience in what they are talking about such as those of us on this thread have run successful, profitable businesses who do.
You can dance and sling insults all you want, trying to make people think you know something, but you showed your ignorance with your first post. We are not laughing at you. We are shaking our heads with pity at your willful ignorance as you argue with people who were trying to show you your error.
Now that’s a blowhard. And who’s “we”? You and Rick Harrison? Or turd in pocket syndrome? I’ve run my own successful business for over 40 years, and I don’t run it by cheating people out of their belongings. You haven’t got a clue about me or what I do, but that won’t stop you. If you think a TV pawn shop show is real, you’re even dumber than I originally guessed. I’ve noticed that people in the crookedest professions are the most sensitive about criticism, such as lawyers, used car dealers, and apparently you.
