<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 481554, member: 112&quot;]Ruben - how many times have you heard me say ? - if you don&#039;t know what you are buying, then you shouldn&#039;t be buying it.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is precisely why many coin dealers get a bad rap when it is not deserved. Now believe me, there are plenty of shady coin dealers out there. But there are plenty of good ones too. Regardless of what one you go to - they are going to sell you what you want to buy. </p><p><br /></p><p>So say you walk into a coin shop and tell the guy you want to buy some Morgans. The dealer shows you a tray full of high grade Morgans priced $350 and up. When you see the prices you shy away and ask - got anything cheaper ? So the dealer brings out more coins or points you to another area. You start looking around, see some circ Morgans and choose to ignore them. Then you see some nice looking ones in the same price range - you ask the dealer, how much are these ? Of course the dealer knows those coins are all whizzed, but he gives you an answer and you buy them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now later you find out that the coins are whizzed and are deeply mad at the dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;m gonna ask you why ? Dealer didn&#039;t do anything wrong - you did. You bought coins without knowing enough to recognize and back away from problem coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you really think that the dealer is going to say - hey, you don&#039;t want to buy those coins. He has them up for sale to sell them. If someone ask him to buy them he is going to sell them. And there is nothing wrong with that.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if you stop and ask questions like - is there anything wrong with these coins ? Is that why they are so cheap ? Then odds are he will answer your question honestly. But most people don&#039;t do that. Most people, especially those who don&#039;t know enough to recognize a whizzed coin when they see one are going to keep quiet because they think they are getting a deal. These coins look as good to them as the expensive ones they walked away from. So they scarf them up and run out the door. Only later do they find out their mistake. And when they do of course it&#039;s all the dealer&#039;s fault.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well it isn&#039;t my friend, it&#039;s the buyer&#039;s fault. Because they don&#039;t know what they are buying.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
