Hey delirium:
There are some advantages to the profiling thing, (At least in this case) When your in the skin I'm in; like you said; many time people will not say very much as i walk around the grounds looking at what's on hand. It's an advantage in my view because I get to walk around without have a snarling salesman hound me. Funny how that works cause folks will trail me thru a furniture store but not at a BMW dealership.
But here's just a suggestion. Don't take it personally. If you have the means to buy use their ignorance to your advantage. Let them think you can't afford it if they wish. (Good for you) When it's time to wheel and deal use that as part of your arguement. Mr. salesman, just look at me, you can tell i don't have a lot of cash so your just gonna have to make me a good deal.
Hey...ya gotta learn how to flim flam just like they do. But above all keep a posttive humble attitude and don't let em see you sweat. It's a game learn the rules and play to win.
Have fun.
