Would you deal with the trader again (Yes / No): Y
Any other comments: This was not a simple deal by any means. I had the feeling several times that Charlie was 'learning on the job' as it were. People often learn by their mistakes and I feel it's unfair to be overly critical, especially of young people, and, so long as the end result is acceptable, we can only assume that the lessons learned will improve performance next time.
I say "only" but naturally we could be cynics, however that would be to damn every one who ever tested the limits a little and, if we did that, we would ostracise the very people whom society relies upon for progress. After all, if no teenager ever grunted, "M gonna try it my way...", we'd still be living in trees!
I think it's always best to be perfectly clear when stating our expectations, that way, whether people are novices or seasoned bargainers, they will always know exactly what they are promising when they accept our money. I'd advise anyone who does business with young people to go the extra mile in making sure that their expectations are understood.
