[QUOTE="Wingnut6999, post: 3660785, member: 96379"]Here is a similar situation. Back in 2008 or so I was just starting to get into coins and currency, I found a small coin club of about 6 members. We met once a month, sold and traded together. One member opened a small coin shop, which I frequented often. Even taking my father in law there as he was also a collector and turned on a girl I worked with to his shop. Around 2010 I was desperate for some cash so I took 3 capped 50 cent pieces and about 20 smaller silver coins to his shop. After looking thru the coins he offered me 200 for all. I stared at him in disbelief and he went on to say most of the smaller coins were no more than melt. I said really? That's strange considering I bought most from you and paid more than melt for them. I left with coins in hand, left the club and never went back to his shop. I also put the word out of how I was treated. I think his shop closed not long after that tho I know I had nothing to do with that. I really thought he would help a fellow club member out but his dirty dealer instincts over ruled. On a side note, I sold the 3 capped to a dealer at a local flea market that I had bought from several times, for 290. Close to what I had paid. It just shows that being a dealer u are there to make money, but doing it fairly and honestly will bring u repeat customers and more money in the long run .[/QUOTE]
