[QUOTE="bkozak33, post: 2130151, member: 30309"]Here is a little interaction I overheard at the last local show involving a dealer and some regular guy he was probably 50 years old non collector that came to the show to sell some coins he inherited. This kind of irked me. Guy "I inherited these coins, and I would like to see what i could get for them." Dealer "What do you want for them?" Guy "I dont know. I dont know what they are worth, could you make me an offer?" Dealer "I dont know, what you looking to get out of them?" Guy " I dont know, you tell me what they are worth." Dealer "Well if they were my my coins I would know what they are worth, and would have a price in mind." Guy "Well, you are a coin dealer and I am not, I dont know what they are worth, could you make me an offer?" Dealer " If your shopping for offers, I'm not going to spend a bunch of time pricing out this stuff, just so next dealer can come along and beat me out by five bucks. Guy "Ok, thanks for your time." said sarcastically Guy walked away, and so did I. I just thought it was a really poor way to handle a customer. I was turned off by the dealer and just stopped looking at his stuff and left.[/QUOTE]
