<p>[QUOTE=&quot;goldmember, post: 1047750, member: 19304&quot;]So a new coin shop opened up near work in Lemoyne, PA (near Harrisburg) a couple of months ago and I have been meaning to stop in, but haven&#039;t had time.&nbsp; Since I want to sell some of my junk silver, I thought I would check their buy prices.&nbsp; I called and asked if they were buying junk silver and what they were paying for it and the guy asked what I had.&nbsp; I told him and then he asked what I wanted for them.&nbsp; I thought this was a little strange from a coin shop, but I told him what I &quot;want&quot; for them (not melt but pretty close to it), and then said that I don&#039;t expect to get that high from a shop.&nbsp; He says he is not interested at that price so I ask what he will pay for them.&nbsp; The guy refuses to tell me his buy price, and that I must tell him what I want and he will either accept or refuse.&nbsp; I then ask him what he would do if a little old lady walks in and says she wants 5 x face.&nbsp; Does he take it or does he tell her they are worth more than that and give her a good price.&nbsp; His response was simply that they pay the highest in the area (but won&#039;t tell me what it is) and then hangs up on me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So does this seem shady to anyone else, or am I reading too much into it?&nbsp; Every other coin shop or silver buyer I have ever called before had no trouble telling what they pay.&nbsp; Some feel the need to state that it might change according to the market, but they understand that I am not going to drive there with thousands of dollars of coins to see if they pay a fair price or want to low-ball everyone.&nbsp; Now I am disappointed because I was looking forward to having a new coin shop in town, but they have definitely started on the wrong foot with me.&nbsp; I will probably still go look at their inventory, but I probably won&#039;t buy anything and I definitely won&#039;t sell anything there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
