I don't know....I've checked around found the price I paid is the low
end
of
average, I just find the price she quoted hard to digest. I consider
jacking
up the price that high and preying on people that don't know better,
unethical. You can give examples all day long of businesses that border
on
that gray area but I think her making what amounts to be a $50+ phone
call
is just a bit out of line.

If you don't want to call it unethical that's fine....but I'm going to.

Sounds like you have never bought a new car. *laugh* Clearly, we are
talking
semantics here, but I think you lost some of us with the supposition of
the
retailer buying a roll and charging you for a piece. That was an
assumption,
not fact. You found someone with awful prices, and slow response time.
What
this tells me is one of two things 1) it is an awfully run business and
will
soon disappear or 2) they did not have the product, and it would be too
expensive for them to get it, so instead of turning you away, she made the
deal unattractive so you would walk away.

BV.

You could be right....she was quick to get off the phone as soon as I called
her on the price differential but she is marketing herself as a
landscape/pond supplier so....shrug....as he pulls away in his new 2003
Dodge Pickup. :P

How much do I owe you for the plants btw? $200-300?
