[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1014155, member: 15445"][b]You should visit one in your area....[/b] I've only witnessed a couple of these hotel setups here in Connecticut. I thought there might be an opportunity to buy some US & world silver coins but it was not an option. It was pretty obvious that the buyer wanted time to review all the stuff before selling it for melt to a larger dealer. The sellers would enter and ask something like "how much are you paying for US silver coins" & the buyer would get the guy or gal to hand them the coins for inspection. The couple times I've seen this, the buyers all were acting the same & saying the same lines to their clients such as : "Wow you sure are going to get a lot of money for these coins" "Yep, I'm ging to give you just as much as I possibly can" "Lucky for you that we are buying here today" "We're paying a lot for silver" "We're paying more than anyone else in this area" However, they never told the seller how much they were paying per ounce or per dollar face. They were just taking the folk for whatever ride they could. They would add them up & not inform the seller what they just added up. They would just tell them how much $ he would pay and placed the coins away from the seller behind the counter. The guys acted like the deal was done & the poor sellers were just standing there dumbfounded like this must be how selling silver is done. If the offer was refused (before they paid the seller), then they would say "well what do you want for them". If the customer said anything below melt that day, the guy would almost rudely say "OK its a deal" and put the coins behind the counter & made payment. This one elderly seller said he wanted 14 or 15 dollars for his silver dollars & the buyer said OK I'll give you 14 and put the coins behind the counter. I'm not saying that they all operate this way but the couple times I've been there, it went down in the hotels this way to a few customers.[/QUOTE]
