The girlfriend and I went to look at some tractors that were advertised for sale this afternoon, and it soon became appearant that this guy was following #4 of Roger's Rules. We went to the house and his wife met us at the door and when I said we came to buy tractors, she smiled and sent us to the barn where the tractor geezer was playing. He showed us his tractors, more than I could count without taking off my shoes, and when I asked prices, he hemmed and hawed and never gave a price, except for one that we had no interest in. I asked about a set of wheel weights for a cub, which I badly need for my snow plow tractor, and he gave a price. I went over to them and fondled them and looked very interested, so he raised the price. He spent most of the time showing the girlfriend his tractors, since she was not trying to corner him with pricing questions. He then showed us his shop. When we left, the girlfriend pointed out that he was obviously using rule #4 to appease the wife, but had no intention of selling anything. She said "notice how he was in the barn, so the wife had to answer the door and hear us say we wanted to buy tractors". That should be an upgrade from rule #4 to rule #4.1 It was fun to look anyway, and he was a very nice guy, so we had fun.
