So I was going to buy a spare valve cover for my CRX if I could find one for less than $50, and I called a scrapyard in Colorado that had one listed on car-part.com. When the guy tells me it's going to be $50 shipping (the actual part was $25) I tell him I'll get back to him. He responds with "No problem, I'm used to people wasting my time." WTF? Is it seriously some kind of grievous offense to request a price quote from a scrap yard and then not buy the thing? If you're so slammed with work that you're going to get butthurt at somebody for taking up 5 minutes of your time and then not buying anything, how the hell do you have time to expend making little bitchy-ass comments instead of just saying "Have a nice day" and hanging up? I seriously would not buy from this asshole even if he had the last one of whatever I was looking for on the face of the earth. It was Phil's Salvage in Hotchkiss, if anybody was wondering.
...Or did I break some unwritten rule of scrapping that I was hitherto unaware of?
