I&#039;ll bet the dealer who ticks you off was really happy to divert your attention to another dealer who would then have less time available for &quot;customers&quot;. I&#039;ve always believed that Coin clubs, organizations such as this, libraries, etc. are the places for learning/socializing. I&#039;ve collected coins since before I was a &quot;teen&quot;, and have never had a problem with the &quot;Grumpy&quot; Coin Shop owners who were busy transacting business, or working on inventory. I overheard their experiences/transactions while quietly inspecting their offerings. I learned while listening, and by studying various publications. I was very poor, and saved for a considerable time before attempting to purchase coins. When I entered a shop, or visited a show display, I inspected, asked for several coins, grouped selected coins, and made a reasonable offer. If rejected, I departed &quot;empty-handed&quot;. &quot;Dealers&quot; loved me, as I always was respectful, reasonable, and a viable &quot;customer&quot; who respected the value of time/merchandise. Why would one expect congeniality from a shop owner trying to earn a living, that would not normally be afforded by a self-employed plumber, electrician, lawyer, doctor, etc., who require far greater compensation for their time?&nbsp; I&#039;ve virtually always been received graciously, with the respect which I&#039;ve paid others. Just &quot;food for thought&quot;, which I trust can be properly digested. :thumb:</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
