[QUOTE="clembo, post: 325159, member: 8033"]Excellent point your Noodleness! One of my dealers is rather disorganized and I like it. He buys stuff all the time then forgets. I am a VERY trusted customer so he will often give me a box of "stuff" and let me go through it or even peruse behind the counter if it's lunchtime. Over the years I've sorted "junk" silver, tons of Whitmans and boxes of miscellaneous for him. If I find something worthwhile I let him know immediately. It pays to keep his trust as I get some good deals this way. Once found a higher end AU 1813 Bust Half in a box. He put it in the case at $600. Sat there for a long time before I asked what he could really do for me on it. Quoted me $425 and my "credit is good". Fine slapped in layaway till I could really afford it. Love that coin. When I wanted to "beef up" my buffalo nickels I'd just pick out certain Whitmans and he'd give me a price for the whole folder. Paid a buck each for one folder that had an XF 31-S and an F12 19-S. Think I paid $30 for a folder of 30 coins but two made it well worth my while. Soooo.... back to the original post. Find a good dealer and get to know him. Gain his trust by EARNING it. Deals will start to flow after time. clembo[/QUOTE]
