Some people are very out of touch with reality. Quite a few also don’t seem to understand that they are dealing with individual people and that it works differently than buying from a store. It makes for some very odd interactions.
But annoying customers often do get discounts for stupid reasons. Shops deal with a lot of volume and losing a bit of markup to get rid of a PITA can make sense, and they are often run by management with a “customer is always right” attitude. But for an individual the dynamic is very different, being a pain to deal with is more likely to get you blocked.
It certainly seems a bit better lately. I’ve sold a few things recently, and there seemed to be a lot less of the useless inquiries to wade through.
I did have one guy say he would be driving from Melton and I’d need to give him a discount for the travel time… On a $50 item.
