<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 7477515, member: 105571&quot;]I always receive a receipt for anything of any significant value (say over $50) and/or for anything I might have to to return or may require proof of the purchase price (tax, insurance, etc.).</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone won&#039;t give me a proper receipt when I politely request it, then the sale is canceled then and there.&nbsp; What do I mean by &quot;proper receipt&quot;?&nbsp; At least the following information:</p><p><br /></p><p>- date of sale</p><p>- item description</p><p>- price of item</p><p>- dealer/business name</p><p>- dealer phone number and/or email address</p><p><br /></p><p>Information I sometimes require on the receipt in addition to the above:</p><p><br /></p><p>- place of business or business address</p><p>- website address </p><p><br /></p><p>Frankly, I view anyone who won&#039;t supply this information to their paying customer as having either something unseemly to hide or too lazy/uncaring to run a proper business enterprise.&nbsp; In both cases, not somebody I care to do business with. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, at coins shows and for small purchases, I have been known to take the dealer&#039;s business card and myself transcribe the pertinent information onto it myself.&nbsp; I have also handed dealers with no receipt pad and no business card a blank piece of paper and insisted they write it down and sign it.&nbsp; Some don&#039;t like it but too bad.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like previously stated, I don&#039;t do this for low value purchases and I am very polite and not confrontational about it but when I require it, I am insistent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
