<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 114407, member: 4552"]You just have to be carefull of what you say and how you say it at garage/yard sales and same at estate sales. Never act as though whatever they have is worth anything. You have to be sort of like a slightly dishonest type. But as I've learned you MUST ask. Many people have jars, cans, boxes of old coins and don't know what to do with them. They normally don't want to put them out at such sales because they are afraid they'll vanish. They would rather take them to a bank for face value. You have to ask. If they say they'ld rather just take them to a bank, offer to sit right there and count them out and give them at least 1 1/2 of what the face value counts out as. Usually if you look like you could have a child or grandchild say that they are getting interested in coins and you'ld like to give this to them as a present. If your young, act stupid and say the truth that you are just getting interested in coins and would like to have this stuff as a starter. Say stupid things such as WOW would these coins make my friends at school jealous. </p><p>All I can say is that over the years i've accumulated virtually thousands of dollars worth of coins for face value at such places.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
