The worst insulting deal anyone has ever offered you.

I've never been insulted, but like everyone else I see ridiculous deals all the time. I just nod my head and move on. No biggie.

Sounds like she holds a lot of strange notions ! "Lessee now... I do something incredibly stupid, attack someone not once but twice, and it's all the man's fault !"

She's livin' inside The Matrix...

 

$12 by a dealer whom I tried to sell a 1966 SMS that had a cameo cent and quarter in the same set. I wanted to trade for 1881-s Morgan silver dollar that had some nice rim tone.

It would have been an even trade in my eyes, raw coins.

 

For me the most insulting deal was an offer of $8 for my ASEs at a time silver was selling at $15. I asked him what he would give me for them as a test of whether or not I wanted to do business with him. He failed. But I never let on that the offer was somewhat insulting and we parted on pleasant terms. I never went back.

 

100 bucks for some beat 1916-D mercury dime.

 

i had some Caribbean coins similar to how the usa does the ase. they were proofs with one ounce of silver. the dealer offered me $7 each!

now i know dealers have to make money, but i should have at least got $12 in silver alone because it was around $17. i ended up getting $20 each at another shop.

 

And she probably wonders why he divorced her!

 

I was watching HOUSE and they kept repeating, "It's always the husbands fault" through the entire show. Maybe she had watched too many TV shows where they follow HOUSE's dictum.

 

I tend to think low balling is part of the game, dealers gotta make money, and lord knows I have put in some low offers on ebay. With that said, I was offered $7 for an 1877 indian in G condition, it was insulting.

 

I was offered melt (at the time it was 3x!) for my 1889 CC Morgan, sight unseen! Even if you don't know the key dates off hand, wouldn't CC raise an eyebrow? I never went back!

 

wow man that is harsh,,,,,my jaw wouldve prob. dropped and who knows what I would have told the guy but wow....

 

That seller no longer exists.

 

$35 offer for a 1932 S 25c AU45+

Kept upping the offer as I was leaving.

 

Littleton: .60 a piece for common Mercury dimes! They are worth 2 that!

 

When I was a kid I went to one of the dealers that was set up at the county fair, and he sold me an uncirculated shiny 1954 steel penny for $10.00 ( He told me it was a very rare coin)!!!!

 

Hey biggie, don't you mean a 1943? only those were steel. But maybe he had some zinc plated ones?

I see some stories that are certainly true and some that are a little hard to believe, but whatever...:rollling:
I don't sell coins, but I do test my B&M dealers on IF I were to sell to them, how much would they give me.?? Well, they run to their greysheet of course, which can be a good thing, and quote me a price...

I have always heard, if you sell a pristine/uncirculated ASE to a dealer, they should give you close to melt. Is that true in most of your expierances? my dealer said he would give me .60 below melt. Is that fair? thanks in advance....

 

I don't think it'd be fair but after all it's just a matter of opinion

 

A dealer tried selling my a "1922 no D" that very clearly had a D for 2200.00, we went back and forth over it having a D or not and it did.

 

An idiot in singapore, where I live, tried to sell me a Canadian quarter for S$25!! USD0.70=S$1

 

I went through a spell of spending at least a hundred dollars a payday at a certain coin shop. Every time I went in there I would take my daughter and buy her some Pokemon cards. One day the dealer talked me into spending more than what I normally did. I asked him if he could throw in a pack of cards for my daughter who was standing next to me. He said "How am I supposed to pay my bills giving things away to little kids?"

On another note, we went to another dealer one time. My daughter had never seen a buffalo nickel before. I asked the dealer to buy a common one just to say she had one. The guy gave her a necklace with a buffalo nickel mounted in it and a roll of dateless buffalo nickels for free. This guy forgets my name, but knows Kristy every time we walk in the door. This guy is twice as far as the other guy, but I haven't stepped foot in the other shop since.
