So I talked to my mom today and she asked how things were going with selling geckos.
I was honest.
Lately people have been driving me fucking INSANE with their gecko window shopping and downright harassing emails/pms and impatience. I get their detailed thoughts about what they think they'd like to do for projects, as well as what other reptiles & reptile-related purchases they're considering. They'll send another email within six hours if they haven't heard back. I reply only for them to say they've changed their minds or didn't have the money in the first place.
I just can't take this anymore. I want out of geckos all together.
Anyway, my mom just sent this to me:

ATTENTION CUSTOMERS:
Holiday greetings from Paul Sage Reptiles!
In order to expedite your gecko order,
P L E A S E keep in mind that you are not my only customer.
Keep your emails brief.
Contact me by email only AFTER you’ve made a decision as to what you wish to order.
My priority is gecko care. Sales are secondary.
My time is a precious commodity.
I don’t have time for “gecko chat.”
Please don’t ask for advice. "Ann Landers" replacements can be reached at: [email protected]
If you can’t afford the ridiculously already-low prices on my website,
Please don’t contact me to share that with me.
I enjoy working with customers who contact me after they’ve made a selection they can afford.
I’m not a therapist, lending institution or life coach.
However, if you want GECKOS,
I GOT GECKOS.
