<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 404176, member: 8033&quot;]Had to share this one with you all. A few lessons to be learned/perhaps laughed at.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today a guy walks into the shop. Might be &quot;playing&quot; stupid but I doubt it (hope I don&#039;t offend anyone).</p><p><br /></p><p>Asks about those 2008 &quot;Silver Dollar&quot; coins. Yeah, we got em so the boss gets some out for him to look at. He&#039;s not getting a real good look so we give him a 5x. Hmmmm.... he&#039;s really looking at the U in UNITED.</p><p><br /></p><p>Boss is starting to get irritated and I&quot;m starting to get amused.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Heck, we KNOW what he&#039;s looking for.</p><p><br /></p><p>The boss finally walks away and comes back with an NGC MS69 2008 reverse of 2007 ASE and tells the guy &quot;here&#039;s one - you can have it for $600&quot;. Then proceeds to tell the guy that we originally had 200 coins and found 2. I can attest as I went through them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Needless to say he did NOT buy the $600 coin (which of course would have been offered to a regular customer much cheaper). He wanted to &quot;cherry pick&quot; us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the kicker. Where did he learn about this coin? On a TV show of course!</p><p><br /></p><p>I ended up selling the guy three small size currency holder for $1 because he had some star notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now this may seem cruel but IF you&#039;re going to even ATTEMPT to cherry pick a dealer information garnered from HSN etc. just won&#039;t cut it.</p><p>IF you know more than a dealer about a certain variety etc., on the other hand, more power to you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can only imagine how many times my boss has seen stuff like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
