<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 2936701, member: 31533&quot;]Sorry, Coin Shop operators are not doctors nor are they maintenance repairmen who come to the house, and perhaps you would think a coin guy could also give advice on&nbsp; the phone about a coin, sight unseen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, the guy&#039;s time was wasted, but he has to expect to have some of his time wasted looking at a coin or two on occasion. Or he could have put a sign charging for that service and collected ahead of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>How much time? If the dude was perhaps using a cane or walker and had to walk from the counter to a desk that was 20 feet away, maybe 5 minutes on a slow day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doesn&#039;t mean the guy should have thrown the coin. I still disagree with that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I must be a really horrid person, as many times I engage in talk, if possible, about coins and values, etc., with dealers at shows, even when I have absolutely no intention to buy one thing from that dealer. And I expect free info from people here, too. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now as far as etiquette goes, neither the shopkeeper or the OP had much in this instance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
