They can't operate it like any other small 'business' because it's illegal. They don't want to cut slack. Understand their viewpoint. They're chopping something they could get jailtime for, they want money, and fast. They don't want to make a profit after a long time, you know? Those are the shitty dealers though. Find a good one, and stick to them. Sometimes it takes time, mine did.

Plus some dealers are just dicks who think you NEED them. There are others. :/
