<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2677944, member: 15588"]Sleazy dealers definitely exist. I've had run-ins with more than a few. Some have tried to pass off things to me as something else more valuable, assuming that I don't know better. Some assumed that I don't speak other languages than English and tried to take advantage of that. Still others will echo anything I say about a coin, even something intentionally inaccurate (yes, I'm sleazy too), to make a sale. They definitely exist. Selling is the worst, because a sleazy dealer will do just about anything to make maximum profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I've met far more decent and honest dealers than slimy and deceptive ones. After going to additional shows you'll start to see the nasty ones at a distance and avoid them outright. In the process you'll meet plenty of excellent, honest and fair dealers. Sadly, sometimes one needs to deal with a few louses to find some gems. I wish things worked otherwise, but, sadly, fate seems to have thrown us into a non-ideal world.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
