<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1480347, member: 10103&quot;]You guys sweatin&#039; the small stuff gotta develop a stronger resolve.&nbsp; If someone (dealer or anyone, for that matter) hands you a cavalier overly haughty attitude, the way to handle it is to move on down the line.&nbsp; Remember folks, you are the one in control of things.&nbsp; You&#039;re the guy or gal who has the cash burnin&#039; a hole in their pocket.&nbsp; No sense wasting it on someone who (you perceive) is disrespecting you.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been to a lot of shows where I pressed my nose up against the window and dreamed of owning a high end unobtainable coin from some really high end dealers.&nbsp; Most indulged my child like fantasy, but the few that didn&#039;t, I never took offence.&nbsp; I just moved on.&nbsp; There will always be snobbery when it comes to this hobby.......those individuals who feel they&#039;re better than everyone else......those who feel that you, a scrubby collector of moderns, could never measure up to them.&nbsp; Those individuals never profit.&nbsp; They miss the chance to cultivate an intense desire within the person who is collecting the coin.&nbsp; Their desire is purely profit driven.&nbsp; </p><p>And then there are those individuals (dealers?) who inspire....who take the time to work with you and who truly understand and appreciate you, the collector.&nbsp; They greet you, and acknowledge your presence. Their love and enthusiasm for collecting shines through.&nbsp; It is these folks that I spend most of my money with.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
