Well, that may be, but why the attitude change then? :?: :?

He sounded down right hostile and said " I don't stock that anymore, special order only with a $ 5.00 charge ". Then he tries to sell me Peco turnouts. He has always been friendly and helpful before, and no charge for special orders.
I wouldn't think that you'd want to turf any customers, even ones that might take a little convincing that RTR is the way of the future...
