<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 5168367, member: 73995&quot;]I 100% agree here. If I find a coin online and buy it, I expect to have that coin show up in my mailbox. I would have been adamite that I get the coin in the add, not a random coin of the same grade in back stock.</p><p><br /></p><p>I often search mint sets when in a coin shop, the first time doing this in a cross town shop, I wanted to buy XYZ set. The dealer then said hold on a second and returned with a set from the back storage area. And said we do not sell what is on our shelves unless it s the last one. That will be x dollars. I straight looked at him with confusion and walked out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Forgetting that this was their procedure. I went back in not to long ago and had my eyes on a 1953 proof set in it&#039;s original cellophane packaging, tissue and box. Worth a couple hundred bucks. When I said I will take it he said hold on, I stopped him right there and said this set appeals to me, if I don&#039;t get this set right here, you will lose my business. He started in with are you gonna break it up, I had to politely say are you going to sell me the set I want or do you only sell the sets you want, Why is this set on the shelf if you don&#039;t want to sell it? Knowing he was in a precarious position he sold me the set. </p><p><br /></p><p>With all said here I wonder how often this type of thing happens.</p><p>A newbie buys a coin and gets one completely different and </p><p>A) Notices it and does not speak up</p><p>B) Is oblivious and the dealer does it again and again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
