Perhaps he doesn’t like you . If you have ever tried to knock him down on price he won’t like it and will remember .
Probably ,when bidding against him at Caenby Corner as kid it was very interesting as you could see he had a price he would go to and no more. If you ask what price for something in the field he will have to go to the house and find out when he bought and for how much before he can give a price. No I meant no offense he’s definitely a character.

He is a character alright but I really get on well with him but I know many who don’t . I never argue on price and sometimes don’t even ask as I know I won’t find whatever it is cheaper . Places like his are getting few and far between .
