I need opinions on this issue.
A clown-and for this guy that is being polite, opened a so called used appliance store in the basement of a local long time business.
Being that I pick up old appliances and sell them to a used appliance store 40 miles north of where I live, I thought I'd deal with a local guy instead.
I phoned him and introduced myself, told him what I do and told him I prefer to support a local business (I didn't tell him who I currently sell to).
He tells me he won't buy from a scrapper.
I said ok thanks for taking my call and good luck with your new business.
A couple days later my "free appliance recycling" ad on Craigslist expired so I renewed it.
He sends me a nasty email all capital letters berating for advertising in the appliance section (he has his ads under for sale by owner not for sale by business).
I sent him an email back stating that I have been advertising in that section for 6 years and I will continue to do so.
I also mentioned that he should NOT advertise in the for sale by owner as this is misleading.
I also mentioned that as he is a new business, it's not very smart to pick fights with people as I WILL be telling people around the town I WAS BORN IN 48 years ago what he is like to deal with.
He re posts his ads every day and he has now resorted to copying my ads word for word and inserts HIS phone number in the ads.
Also every time I re post my ad, he immediately re posts his ad above mine.
I am starting to get REALLY pissed off by this moron and I am considering confronting him in his store about his behavior.
I AM NOT in any way going to threaten him as I don't roll like that.
What do you folks think would be the best way to deal with him?
