    Would you invite someone you didn't know or just recently met into your home to purchase a coin(s)? Or would you always prefer to meet at a resturaunt or bank someplace secure? How many times would you need to do business with someone before you dropped your guard on him? (you say you never drop your guard?) :yawn:

    No, I would never conduct business in my home with someone that isn't well known to me.

    Funny you should say that, it happens often enough.

    I'd prefer to meet at a restaurant or something - it just feels more business like.

    No. The home is an incredibly personal place. Mainly, it's for association with friends & family, food, and rest (last two are more optional then the first). I'd choose a bank, due to the fact that they are the financial centers. I'd drop my guard by the time I considered them a close personal friend.

    What does she look like?

    You mean instead of a sleazy motel?

    115. Unless she looks good.

    SERIOUS: Get a website if you want to do that. Strangers, remember, "talk." And you have no way of controlling that, once they leave. Meeting on another turf, you still have the security concern associated with lugging around your coins. If you have to do that, bring a friend with you. The bigger, the better. I tried this, once, and I brought along my friend, Guido. Unfortunately, though, that backfired. I think the sight of him may have driven the potential customer off. :D

    PS: Relax. LOL and all that. Just wouldn't want to see a nice paisan like you get hoit. ;)

    I'd probably meet them at a restaurant or something, like out on the patio.

    Find a nice meeting place with a security camera that points in your general direction or ...

    You can always rack the cylinder of a nice model 27 S& W under the table so you get the best deals :yawn:

    But not in a bank :D

    If you even have to ask such a question, you obviously live in an area of very little crime. I'm in the Chicago area and I'm afraid to even let relatives in my house. And showing coins to anyone in my house. I wouldn't even give my name to neighbors. With approximately 50,000 cars stolen per year around here, even thinking of what you said makes me shiver.

    I'm juss super over-trusting and wondered how U did it in your world. It always makes my wife jumpy when we invited strangers to our property in Oregon, so I'm trying to focus on how other people think. I grew up in a world where U could trust people and never locked our doors. But seems like the world is changing for the worser. Gotta be more careful I guess. :rolling:

    Yup, I think that's wise. Tell ya something funny, Haleiwa, speaking about wives. Even if I trusted the customer one million percent, I still couldn't let him in the house unless it was squeaky clean spotless! :D
