<p>[QUOTE="Jim M, post: 553790, member: 4791"]I agree but with a few additions. Remember names! I have heard so many times a person walk up to one particular dealers table and be called by their name and say wow, I cant believe you remember my name. A good dealer will ask what are you collecting and why, then show you items of interest to your collecting habits. </p><p><br /></p><p>I go to shows and dealers stop me and say Hey Jim, I have picked up a few BHD's or Large Cents stop back by when you get a chance and I will pull them out for you. These obviously are the dealers I gravatate towards first when I go to shows. Remember your customers. </p><p><br /></p><p>Be honest and keep your integrity! There is one dealer that I had purchased a few items (~$4000.00) from at a show. Went to the next show and was standing next to a guy buying a 1949S BU Franklin. He paid the dealer, was holding the coin in his hand and said, you know. I like the other 49S better, can I have that instead. (Same Prices) The dealer said he would but this guy would have to pay 20% because he owned the coin now and the transaction would require the dealer to repurchase the first one. I looked at the dealer who KNOWS me and told him to give the guy the other coin. I let the dealer have it when this guy left the table, I will NOT purchase another coin from this guy regardless of the price based on our discussion after this transaction. He felt that the guy had purchased a coin and was wanting to sell it to him at that point to purchase another coin. To me it was a blatant ripoff of a customer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
