Yup, that sounds like Norman. If he wants it, he buys it, if he doesnt you will never talk him into it. Many people think he is a jerk because he wont negotiate, he says that the price if you dont like it go somewhere else. He has been arounf for long enough he knows you wont find it cheaper anywhere else. He buys in bulk and sells for less thats his plan and he sticks to it.
I once watched a guy for over 30 minutes try to talk him down on a very nice Stainless Kimber 45 brand new in the box. Norman repeatedly said the price on the tag is it period. Finally the guy says " I know I can get it for less than that somewhere else" Norman walkes over, takes the gun out of the guys hands and threw it about 10 feet across the room into a garbage can. Then walked over to his desk and sat down and said "have a nice day". The guy stood there dumbfounded for about a minute then said " I guess I will go ahead and pay for it" Norm looked up and said "Im sorry that firearm is no longer for sale"
I admit this sounds terrible and kinda makes Norman look bad. But the guy was a total arrogant jerk and kept up nagging for way too long. Norman knows that his prices are always a good deal and if he says take it or leave it, he is dead serious. My family has known him for years and I dont even think about trying to dicker. Some times I will go to pay and the total is much less than it was marked. I say thank you very much and go on my way. Sometimes the total is exactly what it was marked I just pay what is asked, and say thank you very much, and go on my way.
