<p>[QUOTE="Jason Hoffpauir, post: 2096639, member: 67527"]I completley agree with you. I understand coin dealers want to make a profit but sometimes you have to take a loss to get more people into the doors. You see I can't complain with my coin dealer...he gives me a $1 off spot when I buy silver and he rounds off a lot in my favor. EX: If the price is 37.52 he will charge me 28.00. He just does things like this. Sometimes he lends me money at NO interest and I pay him back on Payday. Sometimes I leave a couple of 10oz Englehards with him in return for cash. As long as I pay him in time or ask for an extension he holds the bars for me until I am able to pay. He evens trades with me and uses the Greysheet value to pay off a loan. So sometimes he has to make a living and charge me what he paid for at the time he bought and that's ok with me as in the overall scheme of things he is MORE than fair to me. I worry though that this will make him go out of business. He has a shop for fun only. He won the lottery and doesn't really have to work; but he loves the hobby so much that he has a shop. I am lucky to have him as my dealer. I have seen MUCH MUCH worse. So I guess in the end, for me, everything pans out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
