You going in there with some items they carry, or helping out a fellow dealer, (like the knife dealer calling a buddy and arranging a deal), is different than calling up the knife dealer and asking him, &quot;I got a knife I am selling on Ebay, what price do you think I should start it at&quot;, or &quot;My Dad gave me this knife, do you think I should hold it or sell it on Ebay?&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not saying you did something horribly wrong Pilkenton, or that the dealer should not have been nicer, just saying that 20 rings to a dealer on an item that in no way can help his coin shop was a little inconsiderate. Now a really smart dealer still would have been nice to you, but things like that are better asked in person. At least in person you can make sure he is not busy, and if you are in his shop you at least COULD have made a purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
