<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1474318, member: 26302&quot;]Well, from an historical perspective we always get a black eye when PM goes up. This always brings out a bunch of &quot;wheeler and dealers&quot;, &quot;gold buyers&quot;, and their ilk giving coin dealers a bad name. When the whole PM thing dies down, these players will shake out and surviving dealers will again need to cater to collectors, and ill tempered &quot;big deal&quot; brokers will move on to sell cars, winnebagos, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I find 3 generic types of dealers.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. &quot;Wheeler dealer&quot;, usually not very knowledgable but is a good talker. Frequently seen dealing PM or whatever is hot.</p><p>2. Technical professional who loves coins and knows a lot about them. His prices are usually high but he has good coins and you can learn from him.</p><p>3. Average Joe dealer who knows some, will admit he is weak in many other areas, tries to do right by buyers and sellers and still eat.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find I like types 2 and 3, while putting up with type 1&#039;s only if I have to. To me, finding a good type 3 dealer and building a long term beneficial relationship with is very beneficial to both of you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
