I have bought several thousand > dollars worth of toys from NSP in the last couple of years I sort of wonder if this has anything to do it. I can think of a similar situation at the local hobby shop. The owner of this particular shop can be very rude to newbies and new customers. I've seen him act this way lots of time, and in fact, I thought he was pretty much an a**hole when I was a kid. Once I started coming in the shop more often (and buying more stuff, of course), I noticed that he seemed to sort of mellow out. In fact, the guy will bend over backwards to satisfy the regular customers....returns, special orders, matching prices, etc...all no problem. I can't say that being like this is the best way to do business, in fact, the only reason I kept going to the store when I was a kid was because there were no other shops that were closer, but it is nice once you are an established customer.
