<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1989124, member: 36230"]Seriously, Josh; I'm not trying to be mean here, just honest. Perhaps you should try to look at this thread (and many of your threads) through neutral eyes as maybe then you'd see how utterly ridiculous this is and most others are. For the life of me I cannot understand why you (again) thought it good idea to (again) jump the gun and make some meaningless announcement, masquerading as a question, when you seemingly know very little about your new so-called "<i>specialties</i>". If you were approaching this from the standpoint of an interested collector, I highly doubt anyone would question it and would likely go out of their way to be helpful (myself included), but you're not.... as with everything else, it's all about playing some hotshot dealer and therein lies the problem. If you were, as you claim, truly passionate about these coins, leaning even the basics would be much more important to you than these incessant and not so sly "<i>dealer</i>" reminders. Anyone can call themselves a dealer, Josh, just as anyone can offer a handful of overpriced coins and/or advertise metal for sale that they don't even own with the plan of running out any buying if they get an order; it doesn't mean squat. You need to get it through your head that you're on a board full of people with vastly more knowledge and experience with coins and in business than you do, so who do you really think you're going to impress with this nonsense? It's downright insulting to constantly act as if you can stand in line with or leapfrog over those who have invested substantial time and energy into learning or into their business, be it as a so-called "<i>dealer</i>", "<i>professor</i>", or whatever the <i>nom du jour</i> is.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the umpteenth time, stop trying/pretending to be something and someone you're not, and stop leeching off the kindness of others. If someone does something for you, thank them. If you say you're going to do something, do it. If you say or imply you have something, actually have it, and if someone gifts you a sale (because that's what it really is) you should go above and beyond to make it a positive experience for them instead of playing kid games. The fact is, Josh, that you need this board more than it needs you. I'm sorry, and while I truly believe you're a decent kid at heart, if you really want to sell coins, at this point in time the best thing you could do is start an <i>anonymous</i> ebay account. </p><p><br /></p><p>Enough is enough, man...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
