Questions and Comments

People ask questions and comment on what I do, and I try to answer without attitude, a challenge for me. Here's a typical crop:
What is resale? (Something that was owned and is being sold again).
What is consignment? (You get paid after your item is sold).
Is this your line? Do you make the clothes? (No).
Are these used clothes? (Yes).
Why are they so expensive? (Some are and some aren't).
You don't have to be so cheap, jack the prices higher. (O.K.).
Why don't you sell women's clothes? (Many stores like this for women already exist).
What made you do this? (Thought about it for years, finally got the opportunity to try).
I'm very impressed with your store. (Thank you).
Oh, you're still here! They are keeping you in business. (Yes, it's going well).
Do you have this shirt in extra large? (Most of the clothes are one of a kind in this store).
When will you get more shoes, sweaters, suites etc. (I need a crystal ball to answer that).
Who is your average customer? (Men are, but some women shop here as well).
Does it make me look gay?(No, it looks great, and in any case gays know how to dress so you shouldn't care).
Got anything new? (Always).
What did you do before this? (Long story, I usually tell them parts of it, depending on the situation).
What are you reading? (This week was so busy I had no time to read at all, good for business, not good for the soul).
Have you sold any of my things yet? (Usually, yes).
Will you give me a deal? (Sure).
And so it goes.
