<p>[QUOTE="heavycam.monstervam, post: 2129517, member: 73448"]Question: have you ever been irked at a dealer? Ever felt like the guy could be a little more courteous or if you are ALWAYS in a hurry(time's precious)like me have you ever just said: forget this crap im outta here! Well Sunday at a show, I spotted a mercury dime in a case, i wasnt in love with the coin it was meh but i wanted a price.... Anyway, the man behind the table was 35-40ish and after I inspected said coin i said how much??? So he said ill hafta ask the owner of it, he's 1 table down and pointed. So i sorta mosey along and keep looking, and picked up some baseball cards that were in a bin and couldnt find a price there either. By the time I came to the area he pointed to(about 5 steps) I looked back at guy #1 and said which guy is it? He pointed again and the guy was in the aisle as was I looking at coins just like I was(which isnt unusual) and after a 30 second or so wait(i didnt want to interrupt) I turned to him(guy #2)and said how much for your mercury dime in the case(the only one) and I noticed guy#1 had it in his hand still as he could hear me ask so he held it up. The guy doesnt even look at me and says ill hafta check and turns back to the case of the dealer he was listening to talk about absoutely nothing important. There were no transactions taking place, the conversation was over and guy #2 wasnt even talking the whole time he was just listening being nosy. I know because at this point its already been about 5 mins my time involved in this. So i stood there sorta dumbfounded like guy#1 coulda tossed the coin to him or me thats how close they were. So me already past growing impatient says: well look man i dont have all day to stand around waiting on you, youre all done.Continued to the next aisle where i found good deal after good deal all in a timely manner. I did hafta wait on a guy to count a stack of 100s for a big brick of 999 fine silver lol which i dont mind waiting my turn for....... i just realized this turned into a short novel sorry. Your thoughts???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
