<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1479849, member: 16948&quot;]RLM, I agree there are some unagreeable, mean, crude, and unethical dealers, and I have met more of them than probably any of you have.&nbsp; And that is very sad and, in my opinion, is one of the most negatives in the coin industry.&nbsp; As a matter of fact, there are some dealers whom I flatly refuse to do business with because in my opinion they are unethical, immoral, and/or condescending.&nbsp; There are also many who are simply &quot;gruff&quot; and abrupt in their interactions, but to me that is just their personality and I have learned to get past this.</p><p><br /></p><p>So yes, there are good and &quot;bad&quot; people on both sides of the table, and in every profession.&nbsp; Believe me, I know, because I worked for lawyers as a paralegal for 35 years before I became a full time coin dealer.&nbsp; I worked for some of the most wonderful ethical lawyers on the planet, but I also worked for some of the meanest, crudest, and unethical ones as well - which didn&#039;t last long because I wouldn&#039;t/couldn&#039;t put up with having to deal with them day in and day out, so I would move on.&nbsp; Luckily, in my experience, they were a lot fewer than the good ones!</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t mean to come across here, or anywhere, as not liking this business or my customers, because the exact opposite is true.&nbsp; By posting these suggestions from my side of the table, as I mentioned, I am only trying to make the coin show experience a more positive one.&nbsp; The same is true for the dealer war story I posted - that was just one of the very few difficult customers I encountered - it is not the norm.&nbsp; But I thought it was so over-the-top that it was almost comical.&nbsp; At the time, it was very frustrating, but it sure helped increase my stamina for patience![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
