<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 554292, member: 8033&quot;]Some great comments guys. Take Hobo&#039;s list, toss in Ruben&#039;s comment and finally give a good read to what Bhp3rd has to say and we have a good mix. Oh yes, as Cloudsweeper99 pointed out honesty is pretty darn important too!</p><p><br /></p><p>I have people ask me about dealers and how it works at times and believe me I give all of this advice. They buyer&#039;s ettiqute plays a big role as well.</p><p>Show respect for the dealer and if he&#039;s a good one it can go a long way.</p><p><br /></p><p>My boss can be VERY rude at times especially if he has a lot on his mind or is trying to close a bigger deal. That&#039;s where I act as a buffer and frankly sometimes it&#039;s uncomfortable for both myself and the customer.</p><p>It generally works out. My boss appreciates that I take the time because he KNOWS he gets rude. I get a regular customer and eventually the boss gets to know them as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben nailed it with the power of &quot;BS&quot; and I don&#039;t mean that in a bad way. A dealer that will take the time to really talk to you when they have time is a great thing. SO much knowledge they can, and will, share. That in itself it worth money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally what Bhp3rd had to say. So very true and people need to realize it. A dealer still has to make money and buying smart is a way. We generally buy proof sets at 30% back of bid unless we actually need them. As it turns out we usually don&#039;t.</p><p>Recently we bought a bunch from another dealer at 10% back. Why? For starters all were in original boxes that were shipped to the original owner. Nice sets with flawless boxes and paperwork.</p><p>Why else did we buy them? We have a buyer that pays bid and buys in bulk. He has his own site and an ebay store. We&#039;re his main supplier. Bottom line is we&#039;ll move these fairly quickly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if he&#039;d stop buying darn near anything that walked in the door but he likes to buy. I&#039;ll give him this much though. If he&#039;s going to lowball someone he tells them up front &quot;I&#039;m gonna insult you with my offer&quot;. Can&#039;t say he&#039;s not honest and they usually sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, as I said, there have been some great comments here. I hope some that are really down on coin dealers as a lot get a better perspective because of this.</p><p>They ain&#039;t all bad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
