| - Hi. Once you've been told that your base price for an item is out of one's budget, how is it that you justify trying add on more items? Does it make sense to ANYONE to continue adding to the price of something that you've already been told is too much to begin with? I foolishly provided my email address, and not even 24 hours later, I had my first of three advertisement emails in my inbox. Within a 5 day period, two more advertisement (SPAM) emails followed.
I ended up getting a much larger, higher quality product at a neighboring competitor for about $40 less than what American was asking for a smaller, entry level model, and I subsequently ended up purchasing another large ticket item with a line of credit opened at that store.
I guess the moral of the story is to listen to your customer. If your product costs too much, and you can't do any better, maybe it's best that you either let the customer know that's the best you can do or at least try to make a deal. Although the salesperson at American was a decent enough individual, when I ask for apples, don't sell oranges, bananas, and pears.
