<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim M, post: 956577, member: 4791&quot;]Tis interesting...&nbsp;&nbsp; I generally as many here know where Blue Jeans and a Harley Tshirt, sometimes if I ride the scooter to a show wear a dorag in as well.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Recently went into a show locally here, Seen a new dealer, had to check out the newkid on the block! Went over didnt much attention when asking questions or a cold shoulder when asked about some Bust Halves.. Sooooo, I walked away..&nbsp; went about my business...&nbsp;&nbsp; Little while later I feel this guy tapping on my shoulder, I turn around and its him inviting me back to his table.. I said not today and went about my business.. Little while later I got the story..&nbsp; &nbsp; Seems he said something to the dealer next to him about the guard letting the rif-raf into the show and that they should have better security..&nbsp; the dealer asked him what he was talking about... He pointed me out and the dealer that knows me laughed, said you best go over and get on his good side, that rif-raf could buy your entire inventory and not bat an eye.. then proceeded to tell him of some of the purchases that I had made with him.. hence the visit to come back to his table..&nbsp; &nbsp; Never judge a book by its cover...&nbsp;&nbsp; Sort of the same thing happened to me at a show I set up at in Grand Rapids a few months ago..&nbsp; Dealer comes over and lowballs me on some items in the case, I declined, He tells me I dont know what I am doing and that he always gets what he wants and pays fair prices.. Yawnn.....&nbsp; I went over to his table and said I am here for a lesson on coins, got any Bust Halves or Large Cents? He smiled and said yes, here is a box of Large Cents.&nbsp; I pulled out a 44 overdate and a 51 overdate, said I will take these.. He said, well there isnt much room in them.. I said thats fine I will pay retail.. No Problem..&nbsp; Paid the man...&nbsp; Scooted my chair to the dealer next to him and said, hey want to buy some Large Cent Overdates? He said sure...&nbsp;&nbsp; I only made 160 bucks on the deal but it was fun watching his face while teaching me a lesson..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
