Business ProfileforPenny Lane Cocker Spaniel

Met with Patricia yesterday to purchase a second pup. Prior to my arrival I was advised that the dogs were being discounted 50% in honor of Penny Lane's 50th anniversary. Unfortunately, trying to get a firm price from Pat is next to impossible. I repeatedly told her how much I had to spend and she kept telling me not to worry about it, we'd be able to work something out. However, each time price was mentioned about the sale of her dogs, it would get higher and higher. At first she said $800 and then it was $1000 and then $2500, all the way up to $5000. Since I paid $2100 for the dog I got from her two years ago, I only brought half the amount with me. And I told Pat more than once. Eventually, after two hours of hearing her stories; visiting with puppies and my telling her how much I could spend, I chose a pup from the options she gave me; fully believing that it would be 50% off or pretty close to $1000, based on what i had paid previously. As we prepared to finalize the sale, Pat brought the paperwork showing what her normal price would be ($3900) and told me she could sell the pup for $1800 plus tax and licensing (?). Nearly twice the amount that I told her I had! She suggested I could give her a post-dated check (or even a couple of them if I needed more time). Silly me, I thought it was clear about what I could spend. I left without a puppy and will no longer refer friends to her, nor will I be a return customer in the future.
