Message:: [QUOTE="x115, post: 2012225, member: 33628"]in my observation there are different types of dealers. you have the large dealers - they have a place of business, online store, they may or may not attend coin shows, and they have several employees. these types of dealers usually have employees that have experience dealing with costumer service.so you might get the robotic "great service" or the robotic "cold shoulder" depending on how you act. they deal in volume so they try to keep things running smoothly. you have the Mom and Pop dealers - might just be a married couple running the business them selves. I find these mom pop operations a little over priced at times. maybe because they don't sell in volume they charge more of a premium. then you have the "in-between" dealers - they are not large but they have a couple of employees and some overhead. I find this type of dealer the best to deal with because they need to move product and have time to deal with you. of course buying from another collector can be a better option at times. just my opinion, I'm no expert.[/QUOTE]
