Another thought came to me in the last few minutes. Corey, because you aren't yet a pilot, your questions may lack some of the "slang" or known terminology that pilots accept as the norm, or your questions may seem naive to some. Unfortunately, this may identify you to some sellers as a "wannabe", and they may not consider you a serious buyer. I personally have experienced this a few times when shopping for a plane, even though I was experienced. The prevailing attitude seems to “If you know airplanes, you know enough about this one to decide whether to buy this one or not, cash talks, BS walks."
Sadly, many pilots tend to be more egotistically than non pilots, and also less tolerant of non pilots. It's an unfortunate phenomena that you can help rectify by not being that way yourself once you become a pilot.
Don't know it that helps exactly, but it might give you some insight as to why you are being treated as Annoying. On behalf of the less tolerant sellers out there, I’m sorry you’ve gotten so much attitude, and I hope you will stick with your quest.
