I just called this guy to see if he could repair a vintage lamp I sold that arrived to my customer with the socket loose and bent. I am still in shock at how this man spoke to me, talking over me, saying over and over he did not want to buy anything I was selling. What? I don't call people to sell things, I needed to hire him to fix something. He said to call back later, I was trying to ask what would be a good time for him and he again just spoke over me and said he didn't have time and then he hung up. What the heck?

After months of being put off because it wasn't done, I finally picked up the chandelier today. I did not expect the work to take five months. I would not take anything else there. If you're trusting someone to stick to a time frame, they should honor the agreement. I suspect that the chandelier sat there for over four months, and he finally bothered to fix it two weeks ago....
