<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CohibaCris, post: 7278, member: 904&quot;]I believe that this collector/dealer relationship is one of the most interesting interactions that a consumer makes with a retailer.&nbsp; You quickly realize that there are folks that get it, and folks that do not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Case in point.&nbsp; I was first out of the gate in my quest for Morgans a few months ago.&nbsp; I went to the only location where coin dealers exist to my knowledge (the local weekly flea market) and started my search.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first dealer I came across had great location and decent signage to point me in the right direction.&nbsp; I went inside, and he asked me if I was looking for anything specific.&nbsp; I said my usual (Morgans, Walkers, Peace, etc) and he pointed me to a 1884 GSA CC for nearly $400.&nbsp; I nodded politely, and exited, stage left.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next dealer was off the beaten path, not great location, no signage.&nbsp; My first encounter was the same question (what are you looking for).&nbsp; My response was the same.&nbsp; The next question was deeper, what did I have, what was I looking for.&nbsp; This proceeded to a 10 minute educational seminar.&nbsp; The counters were full of customers, and my dealer took the time to educate me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a sweet 1879 S 64PL, and was told to start a list and come back next week with some homework.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve bought probably 45 more from her.&nbsp; It PAYS to cultivate this relationship, on both sides of the counter.&nbsp; She knows I appreciate her and her hubby, and I know she appreciates me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Great thread, ND.</p><p>Cris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
