<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 2028173, member: 24091&quot;]Agree with most of it, but have to differ with item #1 about:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Reputable dealers are honest, decent, nice people who deserve our patronage, to keep their businesses profitable. If someone is offering you a deal that seems shaky, or too good to be true--it is!!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>My own experience is that some of the best dealers out there are in every respect, -total jerks lacking any interpersonal skills.&nbsp; But they are still trustworthy numismatists who will shoot you a square deal on a coin with a VERY competitive price.&nbsp; And by the same token (pun intended) there are some dealers who are the most friendly people imaginable, but who will suck every last kopek out of you they can, all the while being charming and affable as they do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s not to say I enjoy being mistreated, but so long as a dealer is consistent in his demeanor and is predictable in his attitude, I actually trust the jerks more than the dealers who treat me like a lap dog.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
