The salesmens' asking price will start at about $2K and they will push each piece as an added cost extra. The whole thing can be had for a bit over $1K. Consumer Reports rates it highly and notes the strongarm tactics.

I think you did well, if your guts are telling you something is fishy then something is.

Always be cautious about individuals selling stuff door to door, as a number are rip-off artists. Aside from Girl Scouts attempting to get individuals hooked on diabolically addicting cookies, there are a number of door-to-door scams out there.

First post is a necropost???

I am now as suspicious of you as the first poster was of the SP. In both cases, being suspicious is wise.

Prove me wrong. Please.

Hardly a necropost.

had not been the least bit deterred by my 75lb pit bull growling and baring its teeth at them, nor at the sight of an armed individual telling them to step back from my gate - which, btw they were attempting to open and waltz on in.
Let 'em. First, the dog will take pieces out of them, then if they're still being stupid they can get more pieces punched out in whatever caliber you prefer.

Even the bogus "flyer" ad they showed me, but were unwilling to let me keep
Stick it in your pocket.
What are they going to do, open the fence & let the dog take pieces out of them, and invade the space of an armed citizen?

Check out the date of the post before his. His post is the very definition of a necropost.
