<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 1479853, member: 16948"]Ziggy, thank you so much for your wonderful comments - I had no idea about the girls or that your son even remembered me! That was really nice to hear and actually made my eyes water! I do try to go out of my way to help kids, and especially the girls, to make them feel more comfortable in the hopes that they will enjoy coins as much as I do.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I posted on the etiquette thread, I don't mean to come across here, or anywhere, as not liking this business or my customers, because the exact opposite is true. By posting these stories and the etiquette suggestions on the other thread, I am only trying to make the coin show experience a more positive one. This dealer war story is just one of the very few difficult customers I have encountered - it is definitely not the norm. But I thought it was so over-the-top that it was almost comical. At the time, it was very frustrating, but it sure helped increase my stamina for patience!</p><p><br /></p><p>So yes, there are good and "bad" people on both sides of the table, and in every profession. Believe me, I know, because I worked for lawyers as a paralegal for 35 years before I became a full time coin dealer. 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't last long because I wouldn't/couldn't put up with having to deal with them day in and day out, so I would move on. Luckily, in my experience, they were a lot fewer than the good ones![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
