The Window Man, Part 2

We thought we were all done with the window man after his show/sales pitch he did for us. We should've known. Stein got a call from the manager, saying that he had "a great deal" to tell us about. And he needed us both to be home again. Stein reiterated with the guy that we only had a half hour. "Oh, it won't take longer than that," he reassured Stein. I joked with Stein that we should set a timer when the guy walked through the door.

We could've - but he was an hour late walking through the door. At that point, we had waited to eat dinner, started dinner, and were ready to sit down to eat. Stein made a couple phone calls to the company to ask where the heck the guy was. "He'll be there in 10 minutes," was the first answer. The guy finally arrived, apologized for being late (didn't give a reason though), and pretended like he didn't know the measurements of any of the windows. Since we were eating dinner outside, Stein showed him into the house and told him to come out to tell us his number when he was done. He got done measuring in a much faster time than the previous guy. Hmmm.

He walked outside, gave us a quick recap of everything the other guy told us, and offered us $25 off each window. This only brought the total price down by $600. I kept saying to Stein that I couldn't believe that they would spend the gas money to come out to see us when we really weren't that interested, and then the "new" offer wasn't that much better. It doesn't make sense to me, but I guess that's why I'm not selling windows.

The guy promised that this was the last contact they would make. If we were interested in getting the windows, we should call for this "limited time only" offer. I'm not so sure we're done with these guys. Of course, more contact would mean more fodder for the blog. Bring it on!
