Rofl, good posts guys.
Well as I am not Master Weaponsmit yet, I am master Artisan and get these kind of questions/debates already.
One month ago I was selling AV-21's for 2.1 mil (yeah I really needed some cash and decided to give them away), and a guy comes up to me and tells me that he will pay 1 mil and not a penny more.
Me: Sorry m8 I am selling them for 2.1 mil, so 1 mil won't be enough.
Guy: Your prices are insane, I bought one the other day for 1 mil!!!!
Me: I highly doubt that, but why do you bother me with that then, when you can get them that cheap????
Guy: Because you are ***edit*** and I hate your kind!!!!!!
Me: Thank you for my first addition to my ignore list 
And another one:
Jedi: Do you sell crystals as well?
Me: Well not really I just display them, all 144 of them. I might have a few damage crystals in a backpack somewhere...
Jedi: Good come to xxx-city right away!!!
Me: Well I am relocating my vendors atm, so I could meet you in 30 mins or so
Jedi: Good come here right away
Me: What are you paying for unchecked damage crystals anyway?
Jedi: I want to check them and then buy them
Me: Ok and what will you pay for them?
Jedi: Ok meet me in 30 mins
Me: ok cya in 30 mins (really stupid ofcourse, should have asked what he would pay, but I thought what the heck he is a Jedi so he knows what they will cost)
10 mins later
Jedi: I am waiting
Me: I told you I am busy relocating atm, I will be there in 20 mins
Jedi: ok meet me at xxx-location (is different from the first one)
20 mins later
Me: Ok I am omw to xx-Location
Jedi: Meet me at xxx-location (is yet another location 5k away from shuttleport)
Me (500m away): Ok almost there
Jedi: Finally
Me (when I am there): /greet
Jedi: /trade
Me: /trade
Jedi: you have 1 quality, 1 good and 2 fair
Jedi: I'll give you 150k for it
Me: On the forum I can get 300k-500k for a quality one
Jedi: Ok 175k
Me (not sure if he means per crystal or all 4): So 700k total
Jedi: No 175k total
Me: They are worth much more than that!!!
Jedi: No they are NOT!!! Fair is 40k, good is 50k and quality is 60k
Me: Sorry m8 it looks like we won't have a deal here. Good luck with your grind.
Jedi: They are not worth more than 175k total and I can know because I am a veteran an YOU are a NooooB
Me: later
Jedi: You SHOULD listen to me I KNOW what they are worth!!!!!!!!!1
Me: Well I guess you are thinking you are the universe, hope you feel at home at my ignore list /ignore
Jedi: gimpp

Had a new one the other day.
Cust: Hi
Me: Hello
C: Can you make me a ubese armour shirt?
M: Im a weaponsmith
C: Yes
(Assume the pennies dropped - 1 minute goes by)
C: Can you make me one then
M: Im a weaponsmith, I make weapons. Armoursmiths make armour
C: Weaponsmiths are the only ones that can make ubese shirts
M: What?!
C: Since the patch, weaponsmiths are the only ones who can make ubese shirts.
M: What planet are you on, I make weapons, Armoursmiths make armour.
C: Oh right
I was left just thinking W.T.F?
And to complete my stay in bizarro world, later that day
C: Have you got any items you dont want
M: What?
C: Have you got anything you dont need?
M: I dont know what you mean
C: I mean have you got anything in your inventory you dont want
M: Why would I carry stuff around in my inventory if I dont want it.
C Oh right
(30 seconds pass)
C: Are you a Bio-Engineer?

Ahh.. customers never cease to amaze me...
Cust: hey man i need a scythe made for me plz
Note---(Now I have never sold a scythe on my vendor, all scythes are custom made and I require parts+schem and charge 30k)
Me: Offer parts+schem to my vendor unsliced weapons
Cust: wait all parts and schem... what would the parts be?
Me: (hits macro) Please visit my website http://stettin.guennibearserver.com for more information on my stats, pricing, and custom weapons.
Me: scythe.php has all the info
Me: Schem location is under "custom weapons" page.. start point is Entha
Cust: ok nvm ur an ass u used to be cool and i used to get all my weapons from u but ur not customer friendly
Me: I'm sorry please visit my main pages I don't sell scythes, I make em custom sorry man I just don't have time to find loot parts for everyone and buy overpriced schematics.
Cust: uh huh whatever. We're Done.
Me: I have always operated this way and if you don't understand go find the parts and you will see why I don't provide them.
/shopban
Me: Cya man
/addignore

Unfortunately this guy caught me in a bit of a bad mood or I would have tried to salvage something.. but at some point you just need to ignore ignorant customer and move on.

Been waitin to reply to this thread, but eclipse has so far been free of any note worthy jabroni with less than whitty ideas to share.
However, the other day I recieved and email that I think merits mention here:
(not exact quote, but quite similar in verbage)
Customer Email: I bought one of your guns
Hi, I bought one of your guns today and it turned out I inteded to buy this other gun you had, so I am selling this gun back to you at the same price. Then I will buy the gun I intended to buy in the first place. Also, Im selling back this other gun that is the same type as the one I just bought, except I used it so I'm selling it back to you for 1K less than I bought it so you still make a profit. (Gun was sold at 8K, was a SG82 - a profit? lol) I am short on money so please buy these back because I cant afford to buy any more guns. If you do this I will recommend you to all my friends because I know lots of people and belong to a big guild.
Is your guild all as broke and lazy as you are moron? LMAO

I hate the repair questions. Answered about 20 of them yesterday.
Anytime I get a question with the word "uber" in it I automatically ignore.
The one that I despised the most happened yesterday. I was running both accounts at the same time. My WS was in Coronet on a 3 minute advertising timer, and my other account was running missions for money. I heard the tell-a-tell ding letting me know I had received and IM. Switch over and the guy has said 4 times "hello". I reply back and he says he needs training. I tell him fine, I am in Coronet Starport. He replied and said he was somewhere else and could I come meet him. I replied that I was busy and if he needed training he would have to come to me.
He shows up about 20 minutes later and I train him. Then he asked "Hey, since I had to come all the way down here, can I have whatever resources you used to grind Weaponsmith with?"
I was actually speechless. I just told him I only bought the exact amount needed to grind with.
He then replied "Well can I have 100k of your steel?"
I informed him that he could buy 100k of my steel, but it would cost him 1mil.
Needless to say he made some smart remark and left.
Why does everybody in this game think they deserve something?
The fun never ends.

Can't believe that, that's just not right!! I'm a novice as you can see and I expect to get my own recourses to grind weaponsmith! Obviously an aspiring Jedi!
I always get asked if I can give them 5k to buy a new weapon! Why the hell would i give someone 5k of my money that I've earned to some stranger that I don't know. Alright 5k isn't alot but its just the principle of the thing, some ppl have alot of cheak! Gets on my nerves!
Oh yeah the other thing I get sometimes is "Duel?", er no I'm a weaponsmith you think I'm that stupid considering your a MTK!

No idea if this has been said in a previous post but I think if someone asked me this I'd not be selling them any weapons.
"Do you make weapons to make you feel big due to a lack of p e n i s size?"
Even though, for me, the answer you be yes 
You can't even use an anatomically correct term like p e n i s on these forums? SORRY SOE BUT MOST MALES HAVE THEM

I've started taking some poeople up on duel offers... I'm WS/Rifleman. I just simply whip out my 1300dmg T21 (exceptional-sliced) and HS3 them a couple times till they are dead and walk off.
That is unless they managed to Dizzy/KD me first.
