[DML] Re: Charge for Phone Time?

["dmcgreece" <dmcgreece@xxxxxxxxx>]

The purpose of my calling John was to order parts and to order parts 
only as I had already determined exactly what I wanted.  It was Johns 
suggestion to call me back in the evening because I was at work and 
did not have time to talk.  John said that since I was a new owner 
there were some things that he felt that I would need so he offered 
to call back without ever mentioning that I would be charged for the 
call.  All I wanted was to order the parts.  I didn't need any 
further diagnostic advice at all.  I was willing to listen because I 
did not want to be rude and I am open to anything when it comes to 
Delorean talk.  I would have declined or offered to call back free on 
my cell phone had I known that I would have been charged for the 
call.  The duration of the call was probably about 45 minutes or so 
in which John did all of the talking and pitched his products.  I 
listened to the unsolicited advice and did not ask any questions as I 
had a prior knowledge to inherent issues that are associted with 
original condition D's  What if I had not purchased over $300 worth 
of merchandise or anything at all?  Would I have received a bill for 
the phone call alone?
