<p>[QUOTE="Miko W, post: 2012399, member: 68055"]I don't think coin dealers are any different from anyone else. Most event dealers and turn key store front owners (of every kind) are sole proprietors, sometimes specifically because they don't have the personality for life as a paid employee. They aren't accountable to anyone but themselves, and sometimes feel like they can do whatever they please, including being jerks if they happen to feel annoyed, or have a tummy ache, or are lonely because their spouse died ten years ago. The ability to render good, fair, consistent, friendly customer service is a great asset, and one not every one has or cares to cultivate. Some go out of business as a result, and some don't. My Dad was a store owner and event dealer, and his biggest priority was being independent, not maximizing sales. Although he was always kind to customers and potential customers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
