<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 7752610, member: 28199&quot;]I used to buy a lot of coins (and other things) from a guy at our local flea market.&nbsp; There were always several vendors dealing in coins, most with inflated pricing.&nbsp; What I found with most of these sellers (not just those with coins) is they price high for haggling purposes, but go way overboard on those margins.&nbsp; The one guy I always turned to (Bob) was a retired mailman.&nbsp; His prices were always reasonable, I bought many coins from him over the years.&nbsp; He also knew I collected cigarette lighters, and would find me those he knew or thought I would be interested in.&nbsp; Great guy.&nbsp; I still go up and see him every once in while, just to chat, though the flea market itself has gotten stale and overpriced (too many of them watch shows like American Pickers).</p><p><br /></p><p>Side note on Bob...this guy is the ultimate coin roll hunter.&nbsp; He goes to his local municipal building and buys the bags of coins collected from the town&#039;s parking meters.&nbsp; They would count them, bag them, then sell the bags to him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
