[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4611703, member: 105098"]I'd have gone and tried to purchase one more time and if I don't walk out with them then, consider them "not for sale". My LCS is a lot like this. He hangs out all day with his friends in the shop, bunch of old dudes and it's a struggle to buy anything and when I do I guarantee I could get it much cheaper buying from an online coin shop. I tried to buy a couple rolls of wheat cents to go through once and he opened the rolls and started going through them to see if there was anything he missed or overlooked before he sold me the rolls. He does the same thing with anything in his display case and revalues them if you want to buy them for more than they are marked. I don't go there anymore, which sucks since its the only place around besides pawn shops, but maybe he does good bullion business and makes his money trading with dealers at shows to stay open. Yeah I'd try one more time and make an offer and if he doesn't sell then just consider them not for sale and move on with your life.[/QUOTE]
