[QUOTE="clembo, post: 548039, member: 8033"]Good point Cloudsweeper99 and we actually do for more "pressing" matters (such as being cased) and they are verbal at that. Can't give them away but if we felt we were being cased, for example, it would be "hey where did you put that so and so coin?" WE know what it means. One really does have to watch in a shop at all times. A bit off topic but we had an interesting situation today that I learned how and why to deal with from my coworker. A guy comes in with an off brand 100 oz silver bar for sale. Boss is ready to head out the door but checks it out, does a few tests and makes an offer. Guy isn't sure he wants to sell. Ok no obligation to sell. Five minutes after the boss leaves he's back in. Quotes me a price the "boss gave him" $50 more than actual. I called him on it because I heard the offer. Strike one. My coworker then REPEATS the tests. Why? Who's to say he doesn't have a "dummy" version out in his car. We bought it but it was something I had actually NOT thought of. I'm used to selling for the most part not buying but a valuable lesson that I will NOT forget. Just another thing dealers have to watch out for.[/QUOTE]
