<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ratio411, post: 1059238, member: 26729&quot;]Even the one shop that I can still go to and enjoy my time there did something recently that bothered me...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A lady (knowing nothing) came in with an inheirted collection wanting to sell.</p><p>I was digging through the huge bin of common wheats, labeled &quot;Wheat Cents - 10 cents each&quot;...</p><p>They were at the counter, about 24 to 30 inches away from me.</p><p>The person behind the counter totally drove down the value of the seller&#039;s collection with their words.</p><p>I let all this go in one ear and out the other. It happens everytime I go to any shop...</p><p>But then the person behind the counter said of the seller&#039;s wheat cents... &quot;and these (gesturing to the big pile without looking at dates), I give 2 cents each flat rate... I can only get 3 cents apeice for them.&quot;</p><p>It was all I could do to keep from pointing at the sign on the box I was digging through.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yeah, they gotta make a living, but they should do it without taking advantage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Edit:</b></p><p>I didn&#039;t look, but neither did the shop owner... The pile of wheats could have all been key dates for all we knew. I know they weren&#039;t, but to just offer below melt value and not even look. You know if they turned up key dates they wouldn&#039;t call the lady up and say &quot;we didn&#039;t give you enough for your wheat cents&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
