<p>[QUOTE="Bluetip84, post: 962827, member: 23028"]Its funny that you started this thread as just the other day I was talking to my wife about this exact subject. Grumpy old men that run these shops have effected me. There are 4 coin dealers in my immediate area and I will not go to 3 of them because they are all super grumpy and do not help me at all. At two of these shops they treat me like im a ghost because i am a younger (26) and they think i have no money or knowledge and should just go away. The other told me one day that he makes all his money at shows and dosnt care to do much business outside of that!</p><p><br /></p><p>An example: the last time I went to one of these shops I was browsing around and found a coin that I really liked it wasn't super expensive but around $150 I stood at the case for over 10 min and not one of the 2 men working even acknowledged I was alive. This was after I had been in the store for like 15 min and was never greeted once. Then a gentelmen walked in that was in his mid 40's and they Immediately jumped up greeted him and started to help him (he left the store with nothing). Then when i finaly asked if i could get some help and see this coin the owner of the shop said well that coin in like $150 are you SURE you want to see it. I told him it would greatly helped his business if he had some better customer service and walked out of the store. So there is one shop i go to regularly now and it is kinda a bummer because he does have near the amount of coins the other 3 have. But yea grumpy old men have affected me for sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
