Some observations from the coin show

I was walking around. I left at 10:30 to get back. I hung out with Larry and Ben for a bit. They were near the entrance. I got a couple toned Walkers, Toned Kennedys and a couple other random toned coins. I really didnt want to go, but I promised I would. The lighting was awful in there.

The only person around I see as a "godlike figure" is Doug and he claims never to have been a dealer. Would you like to be a "godlike figure" to me?

 

I'm not saying there is a way a collector should act. But in any sales situation the emphasis is on the vender not the customer. Knowing what annoyes a dealer is useful. However I would say the vast importance of proper behavior lies with the salesman, not the customer.

 

Godlike is a relative term. To some, this pewter plated cow is godlike...

So, which one are you?

 

Which one am I what? Are you asking if I am a Doug or a Cow? If you're going to be witty, please make it hurt. I appreciate a good witty jab, this one I just don't quite understand, sorry.

 

I did not know that about Maine. I thought that kind of stuff was only in Las Vegas or south beach. If you're into those kind of women, that is fine. Just keep it to yourself. This is a coin forum.

 

We are learning a lot about geekpryde. I think I see where his uncertainty, and lack of etiquette comes from.

 

Dang you grow them women big up there Geek.........

 

Since I finished my education and have lived in vegas I can say that I have had two friends that found out the "hard" way that the person with them had more in common then they thought.

 

[edit to add]

Poor fellows.......

 

OK all, stop! the last post was over the rules, anymore and they will have problems. Thanks Jim

 

And, here I thought we were talking about coin dealers.

Back on topic:

Sure there are MANY coin dealers who are slobs, ignorant, obnoxious, etc.

But, then again, so are many of their customers.

So, they may get along fine

 

If I give you my BEST price and you counter, I put the item back in the case. If you still want it the price is now higher than my "best price". Your counter to my best price is an insult in my eyes.

 

Perhaps you don't understand bargaining. If you had the item priced already, wasn't that your best price?

 

That is why I NEVER ask for a best price, more fun to bargain
