Higher information Group interview questions

Initially, I interviewed on the phone with the HR Manager. I was then called in to have a face to face interview with the Local Sales Manager and HR Manager. Then a month goes by and I receive an email saying that they couldn't meet my salary requirements. About 3 days later from the HR Manager asking me if I could meet her and the Sales Manager for lunch. Since I am currently employed, I opted for breakfast. I met with them and they explained their pay structure. They just about convinced me that it was worthwhile. About a week after that, I met with their VP of Sales and then once again, I received an email stating that they were going to seek other candidates and my 10 years of outside sales experience wasn't enough for their entry level position and pay. I don't understand why they would go out of their way just to waste my time? Very frustrating.

Hired to start mailing division. They wanted to mailing equipment to their portfolio and felt this would be a nice addition to their product line. They currently had sold folders and other types of mailing equipment and felt that by adding postage meters it would fill out the product line.
