<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gypsy_gear, post: 1341547, member: 34807&quot;]I did the same thing @ the Hotel on Thursday. &quot;ohio State&quot; gold and silver buyers, we want your gold and silver, war relics, old guitars, broken gold, 10 and 15 cent comic books etc. I walked in and told them I had some questions for them. He said ok go sit in the waiting room. So I did. There were 8 or 9 people in there, and I made small talk with them. I was trying to pry out of them what they were selling. Some had broken jewelry, others had coins, one guy had a guitar. Well here comes &quot;little spunky&quot; as I will call him. He asked what he could do for me, and I proceeded to ask him questions. </p><p>Question # 1 -- What ya paying on 90 percent silver half dollars? </p><p>Answer: I would have to look at the coin...</p><p>My response: average circulated walking liberty...</p><p>Answer # 2 : at the most 5 or 6 bucks. </p><p><br /></p><p>I could feel the blood start to pumping in my neck.....</p><p><br /></p><p>Question # 2-- How about ASE&#039;S ?</p><p>again--- &quot; I have to look at the coin &quot;</p><p>I said &quot;ballpark range&quot; </p><p>he said 22 to 25 dollars each.</p><p><br /></p><p>The sides of my head where your temples are started throbbing about this time....</p><p><br /></p><p>He then asks me who I am working for, and who sent me? </p><p><br /></p><p>I couldnt contain myself...</p><p><br /></p><p>Right there in front of all those people, I shouted &quot; you are ripping these people off&quot; , they were allready paying attention, because I debated his offering prices( I wasnt going to sale anything, I just wanted to know what they were paying) But when I said you are rippin these folks off, they really paid attention. I told them all that he was only offering about half of what their stuff was worth. I just politely left after that, and &quot;little spunky&quot; proceeded to follow me outside...</p><p><br /></p><p>ranting and raving, &quot; Im not ripping these people off&quot; &quot; they dont have to sell their coins&quot; I politely said &quot; I know, they dont have to, but the fact that they are ignorant as to what there coins are worth, and you not telling them what they are worth, and THEN offering them a price makes you a crook&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I called the open line for our local radio station yesterday, and tried to make people aware that those guys werent being fair at all....</p><p><br /></p><p>Rant done[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
