<p>[QUOTE=&quot;goldmember, post: 1092321, member: 19304&quot;]I stopped in this shop today and wanted to update anyone who cares.&nbsp; There were 2 employees in the store, no customers, and someone else (not sure but the owner talked about calling him and then the guy walked into the back alone so I assumed he was another employee or maybe partner).&nbsp; I got the immediate impression that I was bothering the owner by even being in there.&nbsp; I was looking at the display cases of civil war antiques, etc and when he asked if he could help me I said I was just looking for now.&nbsp; When I got to the coins, he again asked what I was looking for and I said I was just looking, but interested in junk silver and lower grade coins (I am a small-time collector).&nbsp; He pulls out a bag of $75 face in junk silver and offers it.&nbsp; When I say that is more than I can buy at one time, he offers some silver eagles at $31.&nbsp; When I decline he starts to lecture me for several minutes about how if these prices are too high for me than I am better off selling to him because his markup is so low.&nbsp; Then he seems to lose interest in me.&nbsp; I pretty much get ignored for the next 10 minutes, and when I ask for any lower grade cents, dimes, quarters, or any barbers (he had lots of highly graded stuff out but not much else) he just says that he sells all that in bulk and ignores me for the rest of my time in there.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My impression is that his buy and sell prices are ok (he finally gave me his junk prices of $18.70 buy and 20 sell with spot at $28.15), but if you are not spending thousands of dollars then he is not interested in dealing with you.&nbsp; In his defense, they were still unpacking from a coin show, but with 2.5 employees and no other customers in the shop I expected a little bit more from a new coin shop.&nbsp; I can&#039;t imagine that unpacking from a coin show is as time-sensitive as packing for one, especially to ignore a new customer to do it.&nbsp; Bottom line, I probably won&#039;t return to his shop.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
