<p>[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 4940131, member: 105571"]I don't think you have to overcome the people that are bothering you. After all, it's not like you have to convince them of anything unless you really want to buy their product. I do think you have to remember that as a coin dealer you are in retail trade with all that entails. Now, your retail trade is somewhat different than that of the guy running the corner convenience store since some of your product for sale may or does come from your customers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think a polite education is appropriate for some (as outlined in some posts above) particularly if you are interested in buying their product. If time does not permit or you are not interested in their product then a polite "not interested" is appropriate and all that is necessary. I do recommend unfailing courtesy even in the face of rudeness.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, if someone comes over the counter at you, then all bets are off![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
