Some advice...

Never tell a vender what you are driving or building, just ask for the part and you will have a willing seller and buyer.
More so when you in the niche markets of sevens and the Locost crowd. Haynes is competition for Locost and you have firsthand experience as a result thereof.

Phone the sucker, announced yourself under an alias, tell him you are building a book chassis if he is nosey, then ask him if he have the parts and the price, ask for address since you are in Joeys, go collect cash. After you have the items, you can jolt him to reality saying it would work fine on the Haynes if you like

You right but he should be more decent and want to do business with anyone not just those who bring him more money its the same thing with car tuners in this country they will modify your car very well and do anything you want if you bringing him more money but if you a guy that just need to service your car then they won't do a proper job and believe me on this I have first hand experience on this but I think that this is wrong you should treat everyone equal because when you started with your company its the small clients that brought you business not the big boys or big spenders so this guy from locost sa is very rude to not want to deal with guys who building there own
