It might give you some new leads on coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; As you can see, I buy a lot of coins from certain sellers, but at the same time, I&#039;m an opportunist, picking up coins as I see them and not working exclusively with one dealer, or one auction house, or one eBay seller.</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4"><font face="Georgia">I even have bought a coin or two I liked off some rude sellers.&nbsp;&nbsp; I dealt with one of those today, and bought the coin anyway.&nbsp; Has a large store, big seller, but customer service is really lacking and emails are incredibly short and (barely) to the point.&nbsp;&nbsp; Not sure why some sellers seem so inconvenienced by returning an email or selling a coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="4"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="4">A few days ago I tried buying another coin, and the seller on eBay was really nasty, and we mutually agreed to block one another.&nbsp;&nbsp; Funny thing was, he insisted I was trying to buy the coin for my own eBay store, which is NOT true.&nbsp; I told him I wanted it for my Type set, but he said &quot;you&#039;re funny&quot; and a bunch of other rude comments as we went back and forth.&nbsp;&nbsp; He thought I was low-balling him, and I would put the coin in my store at double the price. I told him there are 20 other copies of that coin, and no one would ever buy it at double the going rate.&nbsp;&nbsp; His coin &quot;was the best one on ebay&quot;, and &quot;I knew it&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Anyway, he refused to sell it for $35, but immediately after he blocked my account, he lowered it to $37 I guess to mess with me.&nbsp;&nbsp; Not sure why he acted so strangely, but as I told him, he lost a customer for life.&nbsp;&nbsp; He actually seemed quite happy about it.&nbsp;&nbsp; </font></font></p><p><br /></p><p>[table][tr][td]SELLER[/td][td]COUNT[/td][/tr][tr][td]eBay (random sellers)[/td][td]9[/td][/tr][tr][td]Great Collections[/td][td]6[/td][/tr][tr][td]Bozarth Numismatics[/td][td]5[/td][/tr][tr][td]David Lawrence Rare Coins[/td][td]4[/td][/tr][tr][td]eBay (weavertd)[/td][td]3[/td][/tr][tr][td]Type Coin Company[/td][td]3[/td][/tr][tr][td]Ankur Jetley[/td][td]2[/td][/tr][tr][td]eBay (genghiscoin)[/td][td]2[/td][/tr][tr][td]eBay (kryptonitecomics)[/td][td]2[/td][/tr][tr][td]Heritage Auctions[/td][td]2[/td][/tr][tr][td]Northeast Numismatics[/td][td]2[/td][/tr][tr][td]StacksBowers[/td][td]2[/td][/tr][tr][td]3centnickel.com[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]Brunswick KC[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]Childhood Collection[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]David Finkelstein Rare Coins[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]David Kahn Rare Coins[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]eBay (copperpennyminer)[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]eBay (DM Rare Coins)[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]eBay (herbscoinshop)[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]eBay (madeyourday16)[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]eBay (O&#039;Connor Numismatics)[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]eBay (shcoins)[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]eBay (shrc2012)[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]Holsonbake Numismatics[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]J Robinson Rare Coins[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]Jetproofs[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]Lost Dutchman Rare Coins[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]mainer020648 (CoinTalk)[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]Michael Beygelman (PCGS forums)[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]Quality Rare Coins[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]Thomas Bush Numismatics[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]Vantage Rare Coins[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]Grand Total[/td][td]63[/td][/tr][/table][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
