I got a customer driving me fucking crazy. We brought his boat in months ago to consign it for him. We checked it out and decided we didn't want to put our name on this and sell it for him. His backyard repairs need to be completely redone to bring it up to something presentable. The hurricane messed it up and he repaired it as cheap as possible. It's been on our lot for a while now because he hasn't been able to take it back. Now he's in a position where he can, but he wants a few things repaired before we take it to him.
Except he doesn't want to pay for shit and bitches about the prices every time he talks to me. I'm not in service. I don't set the prices, I just ask for a price. I hate being middle man in this shit and going back and forth between him and service to try and get this shit figured out. He needs to be talking directly with service. I'm spending too much time on this shit that isn't part of my job.
He's got a few things not working on it, and I asked service to take a look at 1 thing, the thing that seemed to be most important. I gave him the quote to fix it today and his very first response is, wow that seems steep. Pretty typical response from this guy. I'm so fucking fed up with him complaining about prices. He's always been this way. I don't think service even charged him for the diagnostic. It's like why would I keep asking service to look at things when you don't want to pay for anything and bitch about the prices I give you? I'm at a standstill. This guy needs to just take his boat back and pay for what he owes us.
The dude is wealthy too...I mean nice 2 story house on the water, drives a maserati, and is a doctor. He's so cheap that he bought this boat with a partner. A friend went 50/50 on it with him when he bought it new and they split the costs. I'm so close to telling him I can't do anything more for him and he needs to pay his bill and get this thing off our lot.
