<p>[QUOTE="OldGoldGuy, post: 2106919, member: 72697"]It's cool that you were open minded enough to change your perspective on the methods of coin purchasing you use. Relationships are one of the most important aspects in business. I have clients for years now that if a competitor came along, even for a few bucks less, would be kindly told "no thank you". Clients of my company know that I take my business VERY seriously, and that unless there is a medical emergency, or it is one of the 2 hours a week my daughter has ballet, they can call my cell phone ANY hour, day or night, and I pick it up. I shower with my phone within reach. </p><p><br /></p><p>I too favored ebay for awhile when I got back into coins. However, one of the first coin shows I went too, years ago, chance had me meet a gentlemen dealer who I now have over my home for BBQs, we have gone camping with our kids, etc. We have become very close friends. Sometimes when I want to free up some cash for a large purchase, I will drop off a box of coins I acquired in my early days when I was flailing around like a noob making ridiculous purchases, and a bottom dollar price list, and he will sell them for me. I don't think he has ever handed me back an amount of cash equal to my bottom dollar amount. Always more. Which is crazy, because I tell him to keep the overage for his time. But as the OP stated, when you come across good people, it can totally change the way you think, your perspective, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
