Simply put.

1) 	I don't remember you. Not in the least. But then again, 160 people
calling
	within a week is a little much.  Especially if it's the same 160 every
other
	day...

2)	I'm putting this out because Canopus wanted a gauge on how the
product
	would fare here.  Being the PAN ASIAN distributor here, I wanted to
test
	the waters.

3)	The price quoted should be the same for everyone less the dealers and
	distributors no?  Do you think YOU should have a better price?

4)	If you'd like to, you wouldn't even be able to get your hands on one
	for that price right now...

5)	You could forget about me... and it would be best.  I'm sure this
company
	wouldn't close tomorrow.

6)	You may try in Sim Lim.  Let's see if you can find it.

even then, u need not be so rude as to tell these pple off. especially since the
delivery dates have been postponed before.

frankly speaking, i'm no longer interested in this card, even if it's still
selling at ur original quoted price.

i dont really care whether ur company close down or not, just give ur potential
customers a little bit of respect!

alternative?

nobody's gonna deny u the right to refuse a customer, 'cos i dont think many
pple will be ur customer anyway. and i've seen many retailers in my time and u
r certainly the first one to be in a hurry to get rid of potential customers.
