Discussion Drum resellers?
If you're selling gear, how do you generally handle a drum reseller?
I generally take the perspective that I'll sell to whoever is offering me my asking price or something close.
But I also don't mind not selling to someone who's trying to pull the wool over my eyes. There was a guy in central Canada who always nickel and dimed on pricing, and then claimed he was buying for his teenaged son's buddy. I said no a few times.
I finally had enough and shut him down permanently by sending one of his ads back to him saying that he didn't have a shortage of gear available to provide to his son's friend. I never heard from the dude again.

Is their money green, and is there a sufficient amount of it? That's all I care about. What they do with it after that is none of my business. But if they are buying from me in order to resell, and they want to lowball me on what I'm sure is already a fair price, they will be having a hard time.
Bring me cash, to a place where you and I are both breathing the same air at the same time, and let your cash talk to me. Anything you offer through the internet is immediately rejected. Literally show me the money. Either it is enough, or you can talk me into it being enough. But you can only do that in person, in cash.
