<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buddy16cat, post: 1496690, member: 37356&quot;]Although I am new to coins, I have only have had a couple instances where I expereienced buyer&#039;s remorse.&nbsp; I read online that a good place to find silver coins is at antique stores and flea markets since they are marked once and this price doesn&#039;t really change even though market rates do all the time.&nbsp; I thought this one antque flea market would be a good combo of both.&nbsp; I walked in toward the end of closing on a not so popular day when anotherr big flea market goes on. I encountered a guy selling coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>He had some plastic slabs with common date wheat cents he was selling for a dollar when he told me he knew they were only worth 3 cents a piece.&nbsp; He tried to sell me a VG 1927 standing for $15 and was selling dateless buffalo nickels for a dollar a piece.&nbsp; As you could tell, he was grossly overcharging for everything.&nbsp; Of course I bought a couple foreign coins that looked silver and he oftered me a deal 7 for $5 not including the dateless buffalos.&nbsp; Of course I went back and got more for that price.&nbsp; Turns out those coins are only worth $1.50-$2.&nbsp; He looked through the coins and said &quot;this one was good&quot;, speaking of a 1921 Finland Pennia worth 50 cents to a dollar, the only one anywhere near worth what he was charging.&nbsp; He knew they weren&#039;t worth anything and to think I was going to get silver from someone trying to jip the general unknowing public was kind of ridiculous.&nbsp; I think it is ok to buy something you don&#039;t know much about from a seller who you consider fair but you are not going to get a deal like silver at a cheap price from someone who wants to overcharge.&nbsp; He certainly can overcharge some people but once they figure out they were worth they are just not going back.&nbsp; I should have known better based on what he was charging for things I knew about.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other time I experienced buyers remorse was on a Barber quarter and dime from a local B &amp; M shop but fortunately, he allows returns and exchanged them.&nbsp; I also bought this ugly Barber quarter at melt from the junk bin and he let me bring that back to.&nbsp; He had some quarters in his 2X2s that hadn&#039;t been priced in a while and got 2 much nicer quarters at close to melt, the same price as the ugly quarter.&nbsp; One good thing about a B &amp; M shop is they are there all the time and do accept returns.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
