Message:: [QUOTE="clembo, post: 405127, member: 8033"]Yo tight wad, Sounds to me like you had a decent experience. Sounds like a big shop too. Don't get discouraged either. Coin shops can be odd places especially if you're new. Many dealers are rude whereas many others just "appear" rude.Rzage made some good points about being polite and patient. Here's how it works where I work and why some may seem rude. This morning my boss was working on a $10,000 deal. Was kind of a priority for him.I run "interference" at times like these. A guy like yourself walks in and I wait on you. If we don't get swamped I'll BS with you for half an hour and sell you $30 worth of stuff.I'll also know, at this point, that you'll be back. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Believe me, the boss REALLY appreciates this. He gets a new customer while being able to concentrate on the bigger deal. I personally enjoy my end. I meet a lot of new collectors. It's cool when they come back and want you to wait on them. We have a "computer" guy as well. He runs the website, ebay auctions and does a LOT of research. Actually we have two computers and when I'm not busy I do a lot of research. I also will take coins home and ask about them here on CT. No one knows everything and the boss is finding out that I have some fine folks helping me on CT. Keep asking and learning! clembo[/QUOTE]
