It&#039;s just a matter of what each individual likes or dislikes. As for snotty dealers, they are everywhere. In the housing market, auto dealers, antique shows, etc. My irritating experiences are numerous. At one bank I went to open a savings account and was not dressed like a millionaire and the bank idiot right away said &quot;you know we have minimums at this establishment&quot;. At a camera show I stopped at a table full of lenses and asked if any are for a Pentex. The dealer said &quot;move along, your at the wrong show and your blocking the view of my talble&quot;. Most dealers at that show were heavy into Nikons as a minimum. Saw one lense for about $12,000. Gee, to bad not for any of my camers. I remeber back when I was looking for a house and the real estate nut asked what price I was interested in. When I mentioned my price range she said I should go home and save for a house worth her time to go inspect. I&#039;ve been snubbed at auto dealers the same way many times. I think unless you go to some of these places dressed like your rich you&#039;ll always get lousey treatments. On the other hand at most coin shows I&#039;ve noticed most of the dealers are just as interested in selling a kid a .25 or .50 coin as selling an adult a $1,000 coin. They probably are building a cliental for tomorrow. </p><p>As to a right way or wrong way to collect anything, just ain&#039;t no such thing. Always do as you want. Do as my son does and listen to everyone and then just go do whatever you want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
