What would you guys do?!?

Let's say someone has a product you want to buy but the sales person doesn't want to sell it to you because they are mad at you for no apparent reason (if I mentioned it here you guys would just lol). Anyhow, that person is dating someone else at that business and he has some power (a manager of some sort). I actually got him to say okay but his gf was nagging so he doesn't want to sell it anymore. Let's say it's a rare product and you need it, how would you go about it?

PS- it's not drugs or anything like that. I have a few ideas but want to see what you guys would do.

really? you want to pursue some fucking vendor to take your money? you really want that "rare product" that much that you are willing to beg the vendor? are you serious?
there is nothing that rare that you can't find elsewhere and probably for cheaper.

and his girlfriend can go and shove that "product" up her ass. walk away, homie.

+1. You have to tell us what it is you are trying to acquire, I'm intrigued now.

I wasn't in the wrong so I'm not gonna apologize. Basically she sold my brother something and I asked if it has a certain feature. She said yes but I asked again just to make sure because it wasn't on the description. So she got anal and was pissed off ever since then (been like 2 years) and we didn't know until now.

While I don't want to go into details, I will say that it's pretty tough to get what I'm after. Usually I won't mind but this shit pisses me off. She got mad over the smallest shit (I knew she was a bitch when I first met her but my parents did business with her anyway). And since she's dating the manager there she can basically tell him what to do (which is fucking sad and kind of pathetic at the same time).

BTW- who says anything about begging? I'm asking what I can/should do to "get back at her" if you will.

Your pride is getting in the way. Appologize, mend the relationship, get your drugs, ..., profit.

In the end, does her being right or wrong really matter? You need something, apparently they are the only game in town. Make the shit work, or gtfo. Wasting time because you don't or can't 'appologize' is dumb.

"Hey I'm very sorry about before, I don't think I realized the magnitude at which my actions had affected you and it was not my intention to doubt your expertise or credibility."

copy, paste, send.

I was thinking about that. It sucks because I don't like apologizing for something I didn't do but I guess in life you just gotta swallow your pride sometimes. That would be the last resort though.

Everything has its price, you will have to pay more or find another vendor.

Ok guys.... let's play sherlock here and figure out what "product" he trying to acquire. Let's go through the hints:
  • I think this is the biggest hint: it's something that he can't or (most likely) doesn't want to say on this forum. Let's first assume that he's telling the truth and it's not drugs. Well, this is just a casual car forum, what really can't he say? I think it's some thing that will cause him great embarrassment.
  • It seems that he has no other source of acquiring this item. Seems fishy but I don't think that this item is illegal and the business is legit. I mean, how often do you see "a manager of sort" in a gang hierarchy? From this it also sounds like the business is relatively small or else he can just approach another salesman.
  • His brother also purchased an item from the girl 2 years ago. Well.... from this we know that the business is at least 2 years old. In the same post, he's also being discreet regarding the function of the item; once again point to something that would cause him humiliation.
  • His parents also did business with this girl; thus ruling out what I first had in mind (business=escort, manager=pimp, girl=do I really need to spell it out?). Well at least the chances are very slim.

This is what I came up with so far. Put on your think ing caps and help...lol.

^ It's a car dude. I thought I edited my post late last night to show but I might have changed it back. I was just a little wary that some people on here might know that bitch (since some here know me).

Ah.........sry if I offended you. It seemed a bit fishy at 1st. So why not buy from another dealer? Also.... what are you getting may I ask?

FYP, just so it made sense. Otherwise, it can't be the last one out there and worth all the heartache. I'd move one and erase it/them from your circle and life.

Cant other dealerships make exchanges? I would NEVER give my business to someone I didn't care for, especially on such a large purchase. If the manager is so wrapped around this twit's finger that he wont sell you a car then forget them, tell the GM that you're not able to buy a car because of one of his salesman's personal feelings on an issue 2 years ago, and see if she keeps her job.

If it's THAT important to get THIS "rare" car, then suck it up, apologize, etc... Who gives a sh!t what some ho and a-hole think of you if you're getting what YOU want out of it.

If you're paying cash, you could always have someone you trust buy it for you and then transfer it to your name as a "gift". A mission, but only you can make that decision.
