I've been exchanging e-mails with the guy at that site about a knife that is currently out of stock, but he says he'll have more in in a couple of weeks. He also said that he expects to be sold out again within a week or two after he gets them, because there are larger companies waiting for him to get them in stock so they can buy them. I asked if it would be possible to reserve one (I won't have the $300 by two weeks from now), and he said "Because it is you, I'll reserve one for up to two months for 25% of the cost." (that's $75)
The thing that makes me nervous, is he says "Because it is you." I have no special relationship to this guy, hell, he's only known me for two days through three or four e-mails. Normally when a salesman says something like this it's to make the customer feel special and more willing to buy, but unless this guy is a liar (which makes him untrustworthy), all of the knives will be sold in less than half the time he's willing to reserve one, so why would be be saying that for propaganda?
Should I trust him?
