<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1990255, member: 41863&quot;]Just to clarify a bit more for everyone. </p><p><br /></p><p>I use all the tools available to me to purchase coins and will explore almost any option in doing so. </p><p><br /></p><p>I feel like I&#039;ve already explained what I meant about age, but just in case anyone else misses it, it has nothing to do with what year you were born. I am referring to a mental attitude. Old school versus new school if you prefer. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are old guys who act and use technology better than I, there are also young cats out there who only wish to continue how it was done in the old times. Those are most likely the extremes at either end, but of course they exist. </p><p><br /></p><p>Majority however still seems to fall under my observations and what others are seeing as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes envy wasn&#039;t quite the right word, after re-reading it for the 5th time it didn&#039;t make as much sense in my sentence as I had hoped, but it seems you got the idea of folks being &#039;jealous&#039;. Which is a synonym for envy, although as we both agree, it just wasn&#039;t quite the word I wanted to use, the idea still was conveyed properly enough. </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I love the hobby so much that I appreciate the good and the bad. I try my best to purchase quality coins. I listen to you guys. I work on relationships with dealers. I courteously buy at coin shops. I always leave a coin show with an item as well. I respect many of the old heads who try to lead me right. I try to engage &#039;gruff&#039; dealers and soften them up some. I mean I literally do everything as respectful as I can. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not the enemy, but I am for 100% certain the future of this hobby, and some of the things that are starting to trend out from us techno-savvy folks should be paid attention to by the dealers if they want to remain relevant in the future</p><p><br /></p><p>Simply don&#039;t act holier than thou (as a dealer) if we show you several of the same coins at much better prices. We WANT to buy from you guys, in person, at the right price. We just have options now and it&#039;s up to the dealer to meet those market prices or just not make a sell. It&#039;s their responsibility to price their wares accordingly and they are no longer competing with just the other dealers at the show, they are competing against everyone now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
