<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Klunky, post: 428225, member: 12106&quot;]You know, I don&#039;t even know where to begin, but I knew I had to create a thread about this.&nbsp; My wife and I had to go to a family reunion deal about 80 miles away today.&nbsp; So I got online and found a coin shop in that city.&nbsp; Called ahead and confirmed that they would be open.&nbsp; We left early and I was excited because the guy had some 90% junk silver...my local shop is out and has been out for a while.&nbsp; He quoted me 9 times face value on the phone.&nbsp; So I checked on <a href="http://www.coinflation.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinflation.com" rel="nofollow">www.coinflation.com</a> and saw that 9x was almost exactly spot price...seemed like a good deal compared to the premiums I&#039;ve been seeing on eBay.&nbsp; </p><p>So we got there and told the guy what I was there for.&nbsp; He asked how much I wanted to buy.&nbsp; I told him $300-$500.&nbsp; Then he goes on this huge tirade about how that was an awful idea.&nbsp; He said IF I really wanted silver, I should buy 1oz rounds or 10oz bars, etc.&nbsp; Said it was a bad investment and a guessing game.&nbsp; Said I&#039;d be much better off buying a rare coin for the same money.&nbsp; He went on and on.&nbsp; I talked to him about recent silver prices and the fact that so many places were sold out, but it didn&#039;t matter.&nbsp; He was rude and condescending.&nbsp; Assumed I had zero knowledge and started explaining what a CC Morgan dollar was.&nbsp; That&#039;s about the time we left.&nbsp; </p><p>My wife wanted me to go ahead and buy the silver, but by then I wasn&#039;t going to spend ANY of my money there...good deal for me or not.&nbsp; I&#039;m still in awe that he was able to ruin a sure deal.&nbsp; I had $500 cash in my front pocket and told him what I wanted to buy.&nbsp; 15 minutes later and he had gotten us to leave without spending a dime.&nbsp; Been a looooooong time since I&#039;ve seen someone that deals directly with customers have such bad people skills.&nbsp; Makes me even more thankful for the owner at my local coin shop I frequent.&nbsp; My guy has taught me things and can convey his opinion without being so offensive.&nbsp; Very lucky he&#039;s only 20 minutes from my house.&nbsp; BTW the GSA Morgan the guy was showing me was $225.&nbsp; The same year GSA Morgan at my local shop sells for under $200.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
