I am running through the starport in my Scout armour, and get a /tell
player "do you have spare faction armour"
me - "no, but I can make some shortly"
player - "ok thanks, bring it to xxx when you've made it"
me - "don't you want to know the price? and what type exactly do you want, what stats are you looking for?"
player - "well you're giving it to me free so I don't care"
me - "er, nope....! bye! "

Only 6? 
Sunday I logged on as Monroe. I scrolled up and there is a tell. Not surprising since usually there are a few before I load.These people obviously have me on their friends list to "catch" me logging on. So the tell says "hey, did you get my email?". "Yes I was able to read all of my emails including yours before I even loaded. Here's your sign"

People like these make me wish I could be a smartass at work, in-game, and everywhere else and not taint the business name.
n00b - Hey!
Me - Hi
n00b - Remember me?
me - no, should I?
n00b - Yea, you were my best in-game friend before I quit 6 months ago
me - (kinda remembering, kinda knowing where this is going) I kinda remember you....
n00b - I recently came back, and all my stuff is gone, can you hook me up?
me - With what?
n00b - Money, Armor, Weapons
Me - Go here for weapons (sends wp), once you get there tell me.
-20 minutes pass
n00b - ok I'm here, I need 100k
Me - for what? Just get back and you want an enhanced weapon already?!
n00b - Gotta have the best!
me - Here's 25k, buy what you need
n00b - I need money for slices!
me - buy one weapon, slice it, you have enough money there
noob - I need armor now
me - come to my shop here (wp) for armor
noob - ok
- 15 min later
n00b - I'm here!
me - I noticed
n00b - so can I have some quad-spec?
me - how much you have?
n00b - around 200k
me - (instantly pissed because this guy could afford his own stuff) you can buy some ubese for XXXk
noob - but I want composite!
me - cheapest composite is YYYk
n00b - that's expensive though!
me - /logout

I have started using NPC venders that spout helpful little messages to my customers. Such as "Wookiee Armor will be clearly labled Wookiee Armor. If it is not labled Wookiee Armor, Wookiee's cannot wear it." And "Please be sure you are certified for the armor you are purchasing." And lastly .. "If you do buy the WRONG armor, I will purchase it back IF you remove the pieces for inspection. There is a 25k restocking fee."
It's helped cut SOME of the idiot tells/mails down.
Though I have to admit I was hard pressed not to use large doses of sarcasm for some of my more annoying customers. Such as the wrong armor deal. I realize some people are returning after having been gone and are not yet used to the CURB armor certifications. But really. DUDE! If you buy the wrong flipping armor and I buy it back, don't turn around and buy the same WRONG armor of a slightly different type! If you can't wear battle armor then don't sell me back Padded for 25k plus the cost of the armor and turn around and buy Marauder from my battle armor vender, then cry to me that you can't wear that either! GAHHH!!!
I was seriously tempted however to have one of my helpful little npc venders spoutsomething like "Don't offer your crap to my vendor. I don't want your junk either. This includes your crappy used armor."
I get the worst crap offered to my venders all the time at ridiculous prices. Like somehow I'm stupid enough to buy that crappy looted CDEF pistol from you for 40k because I'm obviously mental enough to be an AS.
.... wait, there may be some logic there....
ok.. I am new to the AS profession.. only been Master about 2-3 weeks.... but I got a great one. I was actually quite pissed after this =)
player: Hi there... are you an AS?
me: yes I am.. what can i do for you?
player: Can you make me some armor?
me: sure can.. what are you looking for? what type you need?
player: I want comp armour with really really really good stats. I am MBH so comp is what i can wear.
me: well sorry.. but my assault armors are not my best right now.. waiting for some decent Dant wooly hide to spawn.
player: aren't you paying attention? I want Comp armor... not assault. can you make me comp armor?
me: Comp armor is Assault armor now after the CU. and I can make it but the stats won't be the best.. prolly around 6300 kin, 4300 energy, 5300 rest.
player: ok that will work. how much is it?
me: since it wouldn't be my best work.. it will be about 225k.
player: OMFG??? 225k for THAT? are you crazy?
me: i starts to explain the reason for pricing i.e. all the resources and such i use and the factory runs and yadda yadda.....
player: yeah but 225k? that is rediculous
me: feel free to contact another AS then....
player: I looted some cores. can you make armor cheaper with those?
me: sure I can do that. what are the stats on the cores?
player: 2800 *somewhere in that area*
me: you know the stats will only be about 3200 on that set?
player: you can't make me that 6300 protections with that?
me: nope.. I have t use advanced cores with MUCH better stats than that to get to there.
player: tell you what... I'll sell you these and you can take the price off my armor.
me: sorry.. I won't buy stuff that is way below what i can craft myself. I will make you armor with those.. or you can buy a set of what i can make now.
player: can i buy it for 100k?
me: no
player: but I'll give you these cores!!! why not?
me: cause I have no use for those cores.. I don't want them.
player: you are a %$#^*%.. why you trying to rip me off?
me: (at this point I am getting mad) it is what i do.. I started this game JUST to be able to rip you off. I knew two years ago when I started that i would meet you and i hadmy plan all formulated long ago. I am rather impressed i pulled it off as well as I have.
player: so can you sell me a set of armor for 100k?
me: how can i rip you off If i make you a deal? that is against my master plan. I'll sell you a set now for 250k
player: I thought you said 225k?
me: that was before I got to know you
player: what does that mean?
me: it means I have to charge you more every time you open your mouth. your price now is 275k
player: (player spouts off all kinds of nasty little words and remarks)
me: geez!! you just put my kids through college!! thanks!!! Your set is on the vendor for 75million creds. hope you like it!!
