[QUOTE="clembo, post: 869543, member: 8033"]cleus55, I reread your OP and see it a bit different than my first post would indicate. Sorry, was getting ready for work. IF the guy is "preying" on his connections than I don't agree with it but I doubt it would last too long. It will also tarnish his name big time. Dealers communicate. I've had times in the past when I've inquired about a coin and he's asked me if it was for me or for resale. He pretty much knows what I like so it's not too difficult for him. If it's a common coin that I don't collect he usually gives me a pretty fair price so he can make a few bucks and I can as well. I've also turned coins down because it was more than I was willing to pay. On occasion I've caught him in a really good mood and he's just given me the coin. I like that situation. It all balances out and it's because there is trust. If this guy is violating trust it will catch up with him. Finally, we have a website as well and most items are full retail. There have been many occasions where we have listed the same item on ebay that is on our website and received less. Bottom line is turning the merchandise and making a profit.[/QUOTE]
