[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1052244, member: 26729"]Everytime I am in a coin shop, I get to see at least one person come in with coins that they know nothing about, wanting to sell. I wish I could buy my coins at the cut rate I see these shop owners buying them right in front of me. The other day I was digging through the wheat bin at one of the local dealers. The great big bin, with a great big label that said "circulated wheats, 10 cents each"... The lady with inheirited coins was standing right next to me, and of her circulated wheats was told: "I buy wheats for 2 cents each, flat rate... I mean I only get 3 cents each for them." It was all I could do to keep from pointing out the "10 cents each" sign to the lady. Unfortunately, I am either lacking having met a 'straight' dealer, or they are rare... Your experience may vary. And hopefully it does! [B]Edit:[/B] I am NOT complaining that the dealer paid 2 cents each for wheats, or that they choose to sell them for 10 cents each. It is just the way that they lie to people in front of other customers, and with a straight face. [b]Edit 2:[/b] Kinda worked out this time though. The dealer realized what they had said in front of me, digging out circulated wheats... When it came time to settle up, I got the one time only special price of 4 cents each for the wheats I picked out.[/QUOTE]
