Of course, without money mentioned, he could be all talk - and you might never see him again.
Again, you know.
Also, my mindset isn't coming from lack of experience in exactly what you're doing.
I ran and owned record stores for 10 years - mostly used.

Oh I know. I totally value your opinion. Basically we are VERY friendly with our customers. Just talkative and approachable. It's nice because our store has a great following and culture but it breeds desire for special treatment and I throw bones where I can but there are some things I just can't do. I need to run the business how I run the business and that's through strategic promotion, merchandising, and opportunity sales. It's a balance. I also have been pretty dry on buying collections so I have to spread the good stuff out so I don't run out and have nothing to draw people in with.
