[QUOTE="smullen, post: 120099, member: 5165"]Either your store is in a Bad Area or, You got the wrong Coin Shop... They need to treat you better than that, its not like they have 2-300 customers a day droppin lots of cash... They are lucky if they get 10 people spendiing a 150 ea and one guy dropping a Grand or more.... I went though a few of those like you mentioned and then I found this local store called Dianna's Vault, its just a little place, but the guy that runs/owns it is awsome... Rick I think is his name... Everytime I go in there, he takes a lot of time to show me stuff and he is working teaching me how to grade or what to look at that makes it a different grade... Last time I was in there aftere I had spent my cash and told him I was broke, we chatted for a long time still... Then we got to talking about Proofs and ""Type"" coins... He asked if I had some time and broke out some of his own personal (not for sale) coins... He handed me a binder full of pages his personal stuff... As I was looking thought it, someone called, while on the phone, he said, I'll be back in a sec and went into the back... He left me there with his coins.... Then he came back and showed me some other stuff he was collecting.... I usually spend over an hour in there.... Everytime I buy something, I go look it up and I never find it for a better price... Sometimes the same, but not really any cheaper... Especially if you gotta pay shipping... Then there is another place I go thats a lot bigger and nicer, they aren't as cool as he is, but they still greet me and ask If I need any help.. When I say I'm just lookin around to see whats new., they back off till I'm ready too buy something... They cut me a few deals on stuff too... So, if you frequent a few places, strike up a convo and talk to the shop guy, respect his time and spend a few dollars, after a few times, they'll recognise you and you'll be a regular and they'll start treating you well.... That is, if they deserve your cash...[/QUOTE]
