[QUOTE="CoinGal07, post: 669679, member: 8843"]Scotty - in no way do I advocate poor customer service but perhaps you can salvage the situation. After all, you said his shop was the closest and you've been going there a while. Maybe the guy was just having a bad day and will make it up to you by giving you a good deal on a coin. You can't judge his 'store' by the people you see when you go there. One of my favorite shops looks like it was opened in the 50's and hasn't been upgraded or changed since. And yes, with the economy the way it is these days I would estimate 80% of coin business is bullion buying and selling but don't let the fool you about the shop. My suggestion is take a shot and go in, see if you can linger long enough to get him alone, and ask. All he can do is apologize and make it up to you or be rude and you know for sure not to return. One suggestion about asking the dealer's opinion on coins brought in from elsewhere would be repackage them so the other store logo, handwriting, code, etc. isn't on them. Coin Dealers are a very tight knit community and while dealers are usually very open to give opinions and grade they are hesitant if they know the other seller because it puts them in an awkward position. Good luck ~[/QUOTE]
