It's all too easy to assume the worst of others, especially when things don't work out as we would've liked. In cases like this where a dealer claims to have X amount into a coin, sometimes it pays to simply ask if he'll stand by said amount as a buyback price if you buy and ever decide to resell (within reason, of course).
