I was in college some years back and was looking to get into the 2 channel hobby. Upscale (ie. Mr. Deal) had some very good used items (read: all that I could afford). When I called to inquire Mr. Deal was very rude on the phone and bottom-lined the entire conversation by saying, and I quote, "if you're going to ask me all kinds of questions then this hobby isn't really for you."
Needless to say, I am very happy to not have contributed 1 cent to Mr. Deal's business.
