<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1362936, member: 23885"]Guys, this is proving to be too much. I am going to school fulltime and the classes are not getting easier. On top of that I have a 3 year old son, and need collecting time. I walked into the pawnshop to look for coins, not a job. Ended up walking out with a job. Now I feel like everything is being dumped on me. Besides the fact that I drive an hour to get there, within 10 minutes of walking in the door, I'm on the phone with eBay/Paypal, buying coins, taking pictures, keeping up to date on all transactions/responding to messages, handling all of the packaging and shipping, and making an excel spreadsheet at the end of the week. My boss refuses to use USPS which I believe is a huge mistake. (we just got a negative feedback). Now things have gone beyond coins, which is fine. War Mems, cameras, jewelry bring it on... but he also wants me to start working weekends and work the front counter. I am not sure what to think here. It is all so overwhelming. I do not trust him. I understand he has to make money, but he openly gloats about purchasing a morgan dollar for 7 dollars from somebody. I do not want to go down this route. Cannot imagine anything longterm, so why... Sorry for the Rant. Oh by the way there are 50 hummel german figurines sitting on my counter, and he wants me to pull a rabbit out of my hat. We would have never gotten a negative feedback if he would have allowed USPS (delivery was to a USPS PO BOX). I think I might just go back to collecting...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
