Hair (or lack of) and a Trustworthy Coin Dealer

Does the fact a coin dealer is bald or not bald have any influence on whether (you feel) this is a dealer you can trust and deal with. :hatch::hatch::hatch:

Some people equate baldness with elder knowledge and some equate hair with a 'slick shyster' type of newcomer dealer. What are your thoughts?

Take care

I am not a coin dealer, but I hope the theory is not true because my hairline in quickly receeding and hope I am not judged by it. (I have a bad enough complex now)

 

all the bald dealers i know are the crooks

Even though I am not a dealer it might mean that I am a 'slick shyster' type LOL as I have long hair

 

I got the question mixed around, I must be getting gaining knowledge and wisdom by the day.

 

Bone, are you thinking of shaving your head before this weekends coin show?

 

I actually don't think the hair thing matters to me, although I may be biased as I used to wear my hair longer. I usually judge a coin dealer, or any other salesman for that matter, by the way I am treated.
If I am treated like a human being they could have hair down to their butt or be bald as a cueball and I would not care.
Respect and fair dealling are far more important to me.

 

bald = fine
combover = shyster

 

lol Very true. lol

 

ROTFLing...

 

I agree with Vipergts2, respect and fair dealing are most important.

Vipergts2, you say your hair is receeding. My father used to say his hair was retreating. :mouth: Unfortunately, mine is too.

LOL I'll buy that!!!

 

My Grand father is pretty bald but my dad was not so much. I thought I had a chance of keeping my hair, but evidently baldness in our family skips a generation. On the bright side it's not very grey yet.

 

In our culture, we equate wisdom and honesty to long white beards....



I'd TOTALLY buy a coin AND a sword from him! :mouth:

 

I've never really thought about it before, but now that you mention it, I would have to say that I have received better deals in the past from dealers with hair than without. Maybe baldness is a sign of cunningness?

 

Um.............
I guess that each year I have less and less tendency to trust people with hair.

My opinions often reflect what I see in the mirror.

 

The gene for baldness is passed down through the mother, not the father. (I should know.)

 

Bingo for hobo and treashunt. So ditto here - a little more goes each year. As for dealers - well the ones I know all have hair and as far as I know they are honest.

 

I got my hair, just hope I can keep it. Never thought of hair as a sign of a trustworthy dealer, hmmmm.
