Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 648007, member: 4552"]My experiences with dealers is that they are just people. People are usually out to make money. The more the merrier. Many, many of us all say if I were a xxxx or a xxxx I'd surely be honest, trustworthy and a friend to all. This is what we all say but when the time comes to make a buck, that is where all that usually goes away. How many politicians promise the moon and as soon as they are in power, they become like all the rest. Coin dealers are just people. Some may well have been used car salespeople and you know what is said about them. I really don't think it matters if a dealer knows you, has had you for a customer for a long time or just met you. They are as a rule out to make money, not friends, same as any salesperson. People in sales seldom want friends in thier buisness, just more customers. You can always find a friend, but a customer is a necessity of income so they do what they can to make money. I've known some coin dealers for well over 30 years and they give the same prices to a new customer as well as old ones. New ones may come back and old ones may wander off to another dealer so you do what is needed to make a buck. I've run into some rude, irritating, moronic, cheap dealers as well as the friendliest ones you ever met. Yet I see no great differences in thier prices.[/QUOTE]
