[QUOTE="chip, post: 1011421, member: 19122"]There are two shops that I have only visited about three times each, I started with bad impressions, but gave the owners a chance on the theory anyone can have an off day (or two). Both I asked if they used greysheet to price their coins, both dealers had visible copies of greysheet behind the counter, both said they do not use greysheet to price coins. They must use them for buying only? Both shops had a group of loiterers who watched your transactions, and did not seem to be there to do any business. Those are the negatives, and that was just skimming the things that gave me a bad impression, there is one great positive, Pat Delaney at Belvidere Coins and Currency, one time I visited him after work and he showed me some proof sets he had bought the day before, they were no S varieties, he had paid regular proof set prices for them, (using greysheet), he was busy when he bought them so he had not looked them over very carefully, when he had a chance and spotted the varieties, he called the seller up, and gave him a better deal. That to me is an example of how to win customers, I have been giving him most of my business ever since.[/QUOTE]
