<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 1225972, member: 28199&quot;]Yea, couple things strike me as funny, I&#039;d have liked to have heard both sides of the conversation.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, the comment &quot;advice is free&quot; raised the first red flag.&nbsp; Second, he answered after &quot;20 rings&quot; indicates to me he was probaby busy (even in the can, that&#039;s being busy).&nbsp; Common courtesy says 8-10 rings, hang up and try later.&nbsp; Last, you ask about a commonly circulating coin in it&#039;s second year of production, and you ask how to go about selling at a venue other than his.&nbsp; Nothing more.&nbsp; I can understand the curtness.&nbsp; He is after all, in business to make some money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me relate a somewhat similar story.&nbsp; I have a buddy who watches too much TV, in particular shows like Storage Wars and Auction Hunters.&nbsp; Decides he can make money at this too.&nbsp; Buys a beat up van, goes to auctions and yard sales, buys up everything he can, including coins and other &quot;collectibles&quot;.&nbsp; He really has no plan (a flea market table is his &quot;store&quot;), and not much of a clue.&nbsp; As far as coins, he knows I&#039;m a collector, so he was calling me like ten times a day asking about this or that coin or coin lot he bought, what&#039;s it worth, etc.&nbsp; He would make numerous trips to my house to show me what he bought.&nbsp; I finally said, look, if you&#039;re into this for the collecting aspect, I would be more than happy to look at this stuff and give you my opinions.&nbsp; But if you simply want to tap my expertise to increase your profit margin, then I want a cut.&nbsp; Let&#039;s sit down and discuss my fees.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t get nearly the calls and visits I was intially getting.&nbsp; And yes, he still speaks to me, and now I get some really good prices when he makes a score.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I can relate to the dealer&#039;s side of this story.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
