[QUOTE="clembo, post: 358873, member: 8033"]Thanks Frank, I've know this guy since I was doing the truck stop thing YEARS ago. When I started painting he was after me to do some work at his house. Problem was I was routinely woring 60 hour weeks so painting on my off time was not really what I wanted to do. Tomorrow is a "get my foot in the door" day as it were. I really doubt he'd mind me picking up side jobs for myself or the other guy I work for. It's weird actually. I'm going in tomorrow because one of his lady helpers is taking the day off. The ladies there generally concentrate on jewelry as they are NOT coin savy in the least. His main helper is EXTREMELY knowledgeable but not really a people person. Takes a long time to get to know him. He does all of the auction and web site stuff and much more believe me. Now when it comes to the selling, if it's anything REMOTELY serious, the owner does it. I've seen it enough. People wait as he's the man. Hey it's his shop. I figure I'll be greeting customers (I'm good at that) selling a few things perhaps like state quarters and probably sorting and organizing a lot of coins. This is funny as I am Mr. Disorganized at home. Different in a working atmospthere though. I've actually done a share of this for him before, usually for a "buy me lunch and give me some deals" type thing. One day I sorted HUNDREDS of blue Whitman Lincolns for him by book number and pulled all keys and semis out and put them in 2x2s. I did some Buffalo and V nickels that day as well and he DID take care of me. Bought a bunch of coins for 50 cents to a buck apiece including a 19-D Buffalo for a buck. It's in F12 condition. Even if it's only part time this would be a great fringe benefit. He likes to move stuff and does NOT have time to look at it all. If I can buy at even lower costs so I can turn for a profit I'll do it all day. Going to be an interesting day tomorrow. clembo[/QUOTE]
