<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1640445, member: 11854&quot;]I&#039;ll just go with a response to the first paragraph since I can address that one. I&#039;ve known Dick for about 15-years and he has worked very hard to attract consignments from both dealers and collectors over that time. Years ago Dick handled relatively few coins, but he had a love for pretty coins. He has worked quite hard in the business to get to know scores upon scores of dealers and to attract a rather large following of buying clients. He does large shows, he does small shows, he stays in email contact, he stays in phone contact and he is happy to meet face-to-face in order to sell coins and to either buy coins or obtain consignments. His auctions on ebay must do fairly well since there are many dealers and collectors who are happy to utilize his services. He started at zero and has worked his butt off for many years to be in the position he is currently in with respect to his ebay auctions. I believe that qualifies as being a good businessman.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for his images, he had been taking them himself with older equipment and he is definitely not a photographer. I&#039;ve discussed this with him and mentioned it in threads on the boards, too. He obviously adjusts at least some of his images to reflect what he believes the coins look like in-hand, but at least he offers a no hassle full return policy, if I recall correctly. I, too, wish his images felt more lifelike, but thus far he has not embraced that opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not certain what to make of the statement of yours in <b>bold.</b> It may simply be a case of not being able to determine intent or inflection via the written word, but it reads to me as an awfully demeaning, sarcastic or nasty remark.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
