<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1336624, member: 23885"]I wasn't trying to insult anyone, but from an economic standpoint you have to look at the positive networking externalities compared to the opportunity cost. If you came in there and said "Beautiful Franklin you have on display there Sir." Let him know what kind of coins your into, maybe go back make a few purchases at his asking price. Remember the guy is going to come in contact with a lot of coins. After a few times to the shop. Keep asking for better and better coins. When he gets to the point where he cannot supply you, change gears. "Sir I tell you what, if you run into so and so U.S. coins I would greatly appreciate a phone call. Now I usually go below par on grey sheet but if there is some wiggle room for you, I'd gladly take them off your hands. This guy could turn out to be a major asset is all I'm saying. Instead of walking in with the expectation that you are going to save 7 dollars on a haggle job, because "it is a pawnshop and not southerbees." JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
