I'm a nice guy, but I would have told him where ther closest tackle repair shop was located, and what the cost to repair it would be.
Sometimes you have to learn the hard lessons to learn the easiest ones!
When he learns 2 important lessons from this experience, my job would be done.
Those 2 lessons are:
1) "Caviat emptor" or "you break it, you bought it"
2) take care of you stuff or be prepared to pay, pay, pay!!!
Wasn't that a lesson our parents taught us as kids?
The ever-popular response from them was "If you took care of your ______ then it wouldn't have gotten broken!"
Sorry you had to deal with someone that apparently doesn't appreciate the tools of the trade as well as you do!

I told him and he said he took the rod to 2 shops and they couldn't replace the tip, he was clearly a liar and just wanted to give the rod back. I guess I felt bad because I had a problem separating the rod, but I just left it together anyway so it didn't bother me. I told him what I thought of him and went my way.
You and Bob are right though, I'm way too nice. i should have told him to beat it, but i didn't and this is the stuff that happens to nice guys.
Tell you what though, Ill never sell another piece of gear to a NewB again. |
