[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1368993, member: 3162"] Luca your words reminded me of something ten years ago. I was digging and selling patio stone. A lady I went to HS with called and asked if I could sell her some. No problem. Asked her how thick she wanted it. Instead of just putting it all in the bucket, I held back the very best pieces of stone for her. It was all set aside. Special handling took extra time but I didn't mind much. A rock mason came out and bought a bunch of building stone. He saw that patio stone set aside and wanted it. I told him it was promised already. The gal came out and I priced it to her for my wholesale going rate. She got offended. So I apologized. I called that mason right there immediately. Right in front of her. Told him the stone was his if he wanted to come get it. The person it was promised to didn't want it. She went to the store and saw their prices. About double. Then called me back. I told her it was gone. She wanted more. I apologized and told her it was simply too much work and special handling to do it all over again. [/QUOTE]
