אני מניח שכמה מכירים את הסיפור אבל גם לאלה...
היה היה פעם סוחר אודיו ששמו AUDIO PIMP - היו כל מיני שמועות על מה שהלך בחנות, אבל אודיו בהחלט מכרו שם. בשל פידבק מתדרדר והולך הם שינו את שמם ל MSS HIFI והמשיכו לסחור באודיוגון. לאחרונה הופסקה פעילותם שם.
הנה תגובת הסוחר:

Have fun shopping our new website and also check out our eBay store listings.
Audiogon has been compromised! It is controlled by a partnership of manufacturers to control the flow of gear online. If you're a dealer selling under a pseudonym on Audiogon, be very careful, the manufacturers have access. But fear not. Hififlo.com will be introduced soon, a totally seller friendly marketplace to help you beat "the big brothers" and blow things out all over the world.
Very silly... Audiogon doesn't want to do business with MSS HiFi anymore after their director of marketing Bill Slob won our CES Dream Date raffle and was caught on video with a pornstar. Audiogon's Amy S desperately wanted to put out for the #1 Superstar but was rudely rejected. True stories.
אבל הקיקר האמיתי והמצחיק באמת הוא התכתובת הבאה, בין קונה פוטנציאלי והסוחר הנ"ל:
See below for email transactions between myself and MSS. I started it off by offering 1900 for some Totems listed at 2250
MSS Replied:
Sorry, we do not play the silly discount game. MSS HiFi, Inc. prices
everything to sell. The good news is that we are a very big dealer. If this
particular item is out of your budget, you should definitely check
http://www.msshifi.com. Chances are that you will find something else that fits
your budget better.
My reply:
I understand completely. I figured it was worth a shot. My wife won't let me spend more than 2000 on speakers, and I would need to drive from Montreal down to your shop to pick them up...Please let me know if you choose to lower the price on these. I have spent a lot of time looking into other speakers, but the sound quality and imaging on the totems is amazing for the price.
Best,
Mss: (who also copied all other employee's (not even bcc)
What is your wife going to do if you spend over $2000? Is she that awesome, impossible to replace? No one is. Even if she is, you should call her bluff and spend $2250 anyway. She will lose and have new-found respect for you.
This piece of valuable advice alone is worth $250. Stop by and pay $2250, and pretend that you spent $2000 for the speakers plus $250 for consultation.
Me: (a week later)
Seriously? A week, and you don't even apologize for what you said? Makes me quite sad.
I will certainly be posting on the forums about this now.
MSS: Yes, please do. We love free publicity. Our business thrives with increased notoriety. You remind me of an ex-girlfriend that keeps coming the more I abuse her. Same concept.

I mean, really? I know he's just trying to get a rise out of me now, and it is almost funny, but what business should EVER speak to a potential customer like that?
