Story : Buying for a deck from an Independent Little Buyer

Received a sms ...from a mother who wish to buy some cards for her son.

"which of the deck has swift blow & approaching sun because i am deciding to buy a deck for my son"
~ Buyer

After reading this , i assume that the buyer wants to know which deck have the 2 cards as stated and the parent wants to buy "deck sequence" for her son...So , i reply her that there is 4 decks that have the 2 cards and inform her that our sequence selling price is $50 for 8 decks.


"ok So all decks total to $25. Each decks contains how many cards?" All of them for $25?
~Buyer

Wow !! $25 only for 4 decks...i explain to her that all decks = $50 & that each deck contains 150 cards.


"So if i buy it for 50 dollars my son will have all the cards in animal kaiser ? "
~Buyer

I thinking to myself again...Aiyo...if buyer got all the 8 deck sequence list ...that involved all the cards listed in the animal Kaiser meh ...why she ask this question ? So i replied , "Yes, all cards"

"Can we meet and then give the payment and you give me the decks"
~ Buyer

A deal is ON !! But i was wondering why she say "deck" instead of "sequence"...
I am recommending to her if she like to purchase ultimate , champion or promotion cards as well.

Here is the reply :
"ok could i have both?"
~Buyer

Wow Wow !! both ? She want to buy all ....???

So i explain that it is not 1 or 2 cards but a series full set of some rare cards
I can sold it at a special price

"Full series. Is it for free?"
~Buyer

Wow..wow...Wow !!
If got free ....i also want to grab...haha. then i had to explain again...

this is the last sms i receive from buyer ...that make me nearly fall down from my chair...

"O yeah so you would bring the decks which cost 50 dollars. total there will be 1200 cards which consist of Gold ,Silver and Bronze ,right? "
~Buyer

Wow..wow...Wow ...many times...!! Nearly fainted ..haha



In the end, there is no deal for the 1200 cards...we are selling sequence list ...not whole boxes of card decks leh. haha...i really mis-communicate with the Buyer request..


Closing a deal

We still meet up @ Sembawang the next day. Meeting at Macdonald. they are early and was there 5 min before appointment time. i reach there , go inside restaurant 1 round but nobody call/wave to me...so i walk out of the restaurant and start to call the buyer's handphone number.

Suddenly a little boy come up and just look at me...not speaking any word. A lady standing nearby (inside the restaurant) wave to me ...oh ...this shy boy is our valued customer and he was here with his mother.

When i sit down on the chairs trying to present him our promotion cards album ,the boy keep standiing there. He was nervous and quiet. I invite him to sit down & pass him the swift blow card that he order ... he quickly take out the $ from his wallet to pay. I tell him to relax and choose other promotion cards 1st before we settle any payment. even i told him to safe keep the swift blow strong card 1st , no need to keep holding on his hands.

The mother just smile and look ...and let her son deal everthing by himself , this is a form of training so that this boy can grow up and learn to be indepaendent.

I ask the mother and she replied that this is from his own packet money that he had saved up...and that most of the sms is type by the little boy ...oh..no woder ,alot of funny thing happen during the sms ..haha


He selected a set of 3x WG cards (version 11) and we closed the deal in a happy tone.
This is indeed a very nice mother who is helping her small one to learn and grow up. Good real-life training. the boy smiled when he receive all the nice cards , can sense that he like them alot...Mother is also happy with smile on her face ...as this is yet another GOOD lesson learnt by her son being a independent boy.

Now i understand the true meaning behind this sms message send from the mum ...
"ok i would like to buy them for 50 dollars and ask my son to pay and collect it from you.."

Recalling back, there is another customer (Mr. Yeo) whom speak to me over the phone before that he is also trying to get his boy to be indenpendent. He will look @ forum and keep a certain budget for purchase ...but will not highlight anything to his son. He wanted his boys to initiate & trigger any interesting AK stuffs 1st ..all by themselves. then he will help to follow up from there ...this is how he pre-order our AK mat ...another Great Father giving important lesson to the little ones.
