<p>[QUOTE="Pilkenton, post: 838380, member: 23961"]I don't see how a dealer who's had his store for thirty years can keep track on his inventory. The stores I visit have no rhyme or reason to the way it's set up. The stores look like my teenage son's bedroom. Not only coins, but comic books, baseball cards, and Star Wars action figures stacked to the ceiling. It's neat to wade through all that junk, but when I want something in particular, I get the run around, "It's here somewhere, ask me next time." That get's on my nerves. Sometimes I get deals because of this lack of inventory control. I asked to see his Nazi coins. He pulled out a dusty binder that hadn't been touched in twenty years. He didn't want to look for the current values, so he charged me the price that were on the cardboard holders. I don't cherry pick from those foreign coin and buffalo nickel boxes on the counter. I'm sure they've been picked through thousands of times before. My dealer might not know where everything's at, but he knows everything he's got.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus my dealer gives clad Ikes and Kennedys, and wheaties, Indian head cents and buffalos as change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
