I have been looking for a pair of mid century lamps for my living room, and several people suggested I stop into Modern Lighting.  I went in on a Saturday morning and found a beautiful pair of lamps.  To my dismay, the owner was downright rude and unprofessional.  He quoted me $200/each, and then several minutes later when I was asking again, the price had jumped to $250/each (I brought 2 girlfriends in with me who overheard this discrepancy).  \n\nWhen she head the jump in price, my friend proclaimed \"I think that's too high for those lamps,\" and suddenly we were persona non grata at this shop. It was as if the owner's split personality came out at that moment, because he bristled at her comment, refused to look at me or speak  directly to me and told us the lamps were no longer available and had been \"sold\" (funny, because they were for sale 30 seconds prior). I asked about another lamp that I had been considering and he said it was also no longer available (ie: get the hell out of my store). \n\nHe then strode to the front of the shop, opened the door and basically pushed us out of his shop.\n\nI was SHOCKED to be treated like this:\na) because I was genuinely considering buying those lamps\nb) because my friend was simply telling me she thought the price was high, and it wasn't even MY comment that irked the proprietor \nc) because he so clearly lied about pricing, quoting me two very different prices within a few minutes.\n\nNeedless to say, I will not be going back.
