Message:: [QUOTE="Coinsnake, post: 1011412, member: 25460"]The coin shop that I frequent is usually pretty void of customers. The owner is elderly and not doing so good healthwise. When he's there it is a pleasant experience and he treats me fairly well. However when he is not there, which seems to be often lately, the other guy (possibly his brother or other relative) is a complete jerk. He won't greet you or even get out of his chair behind his TV to ask if you want to see something. This guy treats me like a punk a$$ kid (I'm 28) and that it a pain in the butt to sell anything. BOTH OF THESE GUYS CHAINSMOKE IN THE SHOP!!!! This shop is the oldest in town and you'd think a collector/dealer would know not to smoke like that in the same room as all of these valuable coins.  If I don't REALLY need something I would rather go to the other shop/jewelry store in town, even though their inventory is less than half of the first shop I mentioned, if I can't get it on eBay first. Because of their inventory advantage and being the only full COIN shop in town I think they feel they can do this kinda stuff. eBay all day![/QUOTE]
