<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1724272, member: 41863&quot;]Point taken Doug, </p><p><br /></p><p>And I never really complained about it until i found out i was over charged (ripped off is too harsh, because I do trust the guy on coins for the most part, and i realize he does have a B&amp;M store so I can make allowances). However I do believe he should NOT be able to charge me more than the actual service costs itself. I just had 5 coins returned to me for under $130, actually i rechecked and my invoice says $117. So in my eyes it is not OK for him profit more than what the service itself costs, that is just unacceptable and not how a reputable dealer should be conducting business. Your mantra of find a dealer, trust a dealer sort of failed on this one. He is the only dealer within 50 miles, and offers the best store you can find in the area. As a budding collector and faithful client, i felt he should have taken a little better care of one of his future sources of income, not to mention ive been going there for years and thought i could trust him. I have been in and out of his coin store since I was at least 10, that was over 15 years ago now, and with my more serious turn to numismatics you would think he wouldve done a little better than that. </p><p><br /></p><p>I did however learn my lesson and have thus chosen to not &#039;throw my money away&#039; at him anymore for grading services. For all i know he used his 5 vouchers on me and simply profited from all that i spent on that grading. Thats his right to make money, but i still feel a little betrayed for paying double. Like you said, we have no authority or right to say how much money he should make and the methods to go about doing it. My wallet can and will speak for me on this matter and I have chosen to be more responsible on a personal level and to take care of the problem of submitting coins myself. </p><p><br /></p><p>At the back of my mind it does make me wonder though. Would he sell me that slightly cleaned coin that I may have overlooked its cleaning on as a problem-free coin just to make a buck? Would he sell it to me knowing i didnt know any better? Cause thats all he did when he submitted those coins to NGC for me, he knew I didnt know what the service costed and seen an opportunity to take advantage of me instead of helping me. Did he shoot himself in the foot by not offering a reasonable price on submitting for grades, if I wouldve returned repeatedly to have him do just that for my entire collection? </p><p><br /></p><p>Lots of questions, but in the end they dont matter much as I have already learned the lesson and am taking care of my business instead of letting someone else do it for me[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
