<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RabidRick, post: 2007490, member: 37868&quot;]It&#039;s only libel if I write something defaminating that&#039;s proven to be false. I can say &quot;that guy is a jerk&quot; and that&#039;s an opinion. It&#039;s not libel.</p><p><br /></p><p>The onus is on the plaintiff to prove false accusations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides, I was being honest <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=19765]@fretboard[/USER]: It&#039;s a business and they are trying to make profit. There&#039;s a difference between that and taking advantage of people. For example, being unreasonable with prices or claiming there are defects that aren&#039;t there (this coin was recently cleaned, okay well show me). Also, it seems the internet has changed a lot this last decade or two. I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if people are frustrated because customers are choosing to go online.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I like shows and stores so I get to see what I&#039;m buying. Not every store will sell for more than you&#039;ll find online; many will sell for less (I&#039;d assume they&#039;d buy for less then, as well). Also, people online often sell problem coins without stating it and stores are more likely to point these things out. Sometimes it&#039;s impossible to tell from a picture someone posts. I have to see it for myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you come in knowing nothing, dealers are generally helpful. If you obviously know your stuff they are either rude or just there to do business and are very professional. What I wrote is what I noticed in various places I&#039;ve been to. If someone is going to treat me like I jerk I&#039;m out the door (even though I spend a lot on the hobby).</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I guess its what you are looking for. I don&#039;t need someone to coddle me -- I just want to talk business. I can usually tell by the prices, anyway. If there&#039;s a 50% upcharge changes are I&#039;m not buing anything there. If I sell the stuff I want to make money, or at least break even (I think I might have made some cash from the hobby).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d also rather wait, save, br patient and get the good stuff from auctions that may slip by. You will lose 90% of the time but the other 10% is worth it, IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
