Funny, exactly the same attitude as Vintage Planet, a guy that has spares for most vintage synthesizers: https://www.vintageplanet.nl/

He also has his own system for ordering, where you select the items, then he weighs them, then he’ll give you a price and a payment link.

No better way to annoy him than to refuse to read his FAQ and ask for a total price including shipping, or anything outside the possibility of his rigid system.

Talked to him about helping him update his online shop 10 years ago or more. Clearly, judging by the layout and functionality that still didn’t happen yet.

He already talked back then to a generic shop builder that wanted to sell him a shop for about 500 bucks or something.

The problem of course was that his unique checkout system was sacred and they refused to implement it his way. I told him it was possible, but a custom checkout could cost up to 5000.

Clearly, I was out to defraud him charging such an outrageous rate for a small change to a 500 dollar website! We never became friends. And he never found a honest shop builder.
