Message:: [QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 968514, member: 24633"]Okay, here's one with the "table turned" on the seller....... I was at Fleamasters in East Fort Myers, FL back in 2004, and while browsing at a coin shop, an elderly couple asked the owner, who had her back turned to them, if she had any albums for the "Jefferson" quarters. The couple appeared to be in their late 70's or early 80's so it was no surprise to me that they might have been confused, but without even turning around, the owner "barked" in a loud, nasty tone, "There is no such thing as a Jefferson quarter!" At that point, I told the couple that the Jefferson series was nickels and if they had a computer, they could search for "Whitman" and order whatever album they wanted online. At that point, the owner said to me in her nasty tone, "That's all I need! I'm trying to run a business and I have rent and utilities to pay and this joker is telling customers to take their business elsewhere." With that, I said, "With your attitude, I'm surprised you're still in business!" and I left. Fast forward about a year later......... I was looking through a table of Morgan dollar slabs at the same fleamarket shop. I didn't see anything of interest, so I asked the owner if she had any other slabbed Morgans. Again, in a nasty tone and her back turned to me, she retorted, "Are you blind? What do you think is on that table!" So, with other customers within earshot, I remarked, "Everything you have on that table is low-grade junk and not worth the prices you're asking." I turned and left, and as I was almost out of her "space", I heard her say, "Where did he go?" Chris[/QUOTE]
