Anyway, I explained the differences to him in coluor etc, he agreed, and said well, take them home, do what you want with them, no charge, that was $90.00 worth of printing.

He is a fantastic bloke, and I can say, Gerrard, can I have a lend of the Canon lens for the weekend, yep, no worries, and walk out the shop with $2000.00 lens under my arm, no questions asked.

That is why I always by local and pay a bit more, Its quality service...

Sounds like you've got a good thing going there leon - nice one.

The dealer I referred to in my post on the other hand is an arrogant tosser!
I bought $1000 of unfriendly service from him recently - you see, I didn't realise that HE was doing me a favour through this purchase!!!
Now I'm very happy to waste his time for 30mins and whip out vendor's B,C and D's better quotes!!
Grrrrrrrrrr....
