<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1917427, member: 19065&quot;]Truth be told opinions aren&#039;t worth a thing so I don&#039;t offer them, opting instead to give others resources for going about matters on their own. The broad tool I gave is one that is essentially vetted as it offers people those dealers who are registered with the ANA, a long standing resource and leader in educating collectors and supporting the hobby. As you suggested, a little online research would pinpoint shops in the requested area, and learning to do one&#039;s own homework, is always better than relying on others, particularly on others&#039; &quot;opinions&quot; which are usually biased and not objectively communicated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your ill temper precedes you and&nbsp; intrudes throughout this thread, well before your information about regional collectors/dealers given to the OP, from your choice of user name to someone bent on telling others their information is worthless. And that underscores my point of what happens when someone asks for something like, &quot;greatest coin shops&quot; and gets someone&#039;s biased opinion back. Your assumptive &quot;what if&quot; scenario isn&#039;t even one that arose, so doesn&#039;t further your point nor justify the &#039;greatness&#039; of any one or other shops in the area.</p><p><br /></p><p>FWIW, the OP asked for Orlando coin shops and you&#039;ve suggested a venue an hour or more drive away, which you have never even been to to speak of from personal experience and can only assume will have dealers/hobbyist that are willing to negotiate.&nbsp; What and when they decide to negotiate on sales/trades is as arbitrary as what they may or may not have to sell and what is being offered to them. You shouldn&#039;t speak so decisively (and generally) for others as well as cast doubt on others&#039; choice of information to share with the OP.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the future, just keep your, proverbial, trap shut, if you don&#039;t like what others are posting. <u>Your assumption</u> of what you thought I meant about the link I gave <u>was plain wrong</u>. You read into it &#039;annoyance&#039; and skewed the reply with some obtuse ideas of my post implying others were lesser somehow, hence your &quot;common folk&quot; oddity. When in fact, I was just surprised by how frequently the ANA Dealer Directory can be given and it seems to be useful to others. I share the knowledge I have for finding dealers or coin information at your finger tips, and used this particular single, yet vast source (not as vast and uncertain as a Google search would be, but one that&#039;s relevant and filtered to the OP), that I trust to only offer those dealers who are safer to deal with when I travel somewhere and don&#039;t know the local shops.</p><p><br /></p><p>As the first post said, &quot;Any info would be appreciated.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope the rest of your day is better.
