You let him speak, you were calm and tried to de-escalate and you were very clear and to the point, you even gave recognition by noting that it was 'his life's work' and tried to understand why he was so completely out of his damn mind. This truly shows another side to the man you are. The entire crew followed when you left, I was so impressed no one chimed in or said a WORD it just shows how much respect and trust your friends have for you. I think the fact he had an armed security guard watching you was evidence to show that he knew he was trying to pull something shady from the beginning ( other than his tweaker like behavior). I know your over it now but, I admire the person you are, everyone should take notes from you.

I greatly appreciate you allowing as much of this video as you did to make it to KZbin.

[@fkrioters1000]

Dave kept his cool, which is practically always correct. However, de-escalating isn't always the right call. The Scam-artist will often deliberately give you an easy path out to de-escalate a situation, but that path is the path where you get scammed. Mr Scam was INTENTIONALLY escalating. The whole point of him injecting tension was to get Dave to back off from his demand to have an EXACT inventory. It's not just the keeping his calm, but rather that Dave wouldn't back off the demands around having a precise inventory, locked doors, etc around what he was buying. Afterall, even I could see the warehouse looked completely different from the earlier video, and I was only half-watching the video on the side as I worked on a project.

On top of that it came across like this seller/donor was involved in something a bit shady on the backside. This is good for others to see how you stayed calm and levelheaded throughout the negotiations. That’s what it takes to be a professional and ultimately successful in the long run.

[@fkrioters1000]

The prospect of a lucrative money-making deal can "buy" a LOT of patience. It's also how a LOT of scams work. You start out with a deal that anyone would be an idiot to pass up on, and because the deal is so good, you can start demanding their time, resources, down-payments, etc. You get them so INVESTED in the sale, that even as the deal gets worse, and worse, and worse, and worse ..... "If I pull out now, that's $10k down the drain, what's another $2k?" Classic sunk-cost fallacy. After the shit that already went down by the time they walked away, and how hazy the conversation got, at that point I wouldn't want anything private, undocumented, etc. The point is you're trying to solidify the deal, not give him more opportunities to change his mind, or alter the deal. Afte thinking about this situation for a day, and sleeping on it overnight, the $10k the guy got was a straight up SCAM. Complete SCAM. The guy's intent was always to take the $10k and run, but maybe also take another $290k and run with that as well. Whether he sabotaged the deal, or got $290k and left D with an empty warehouse of junk, either worked out for him.
