<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dr Kegg, post: 1232832, member: 23476&quot;]I just noticed this thread and just HAD to post my story.</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently moved into an area outside of Harrisburg and wanted to see what shops were around this new area. I generally just drive the extra few miles to my normal guy, but wanted to see who else was out there. So...shall we begin??</p><p><br /></p><p>I notice a little shop in the town of Lemoyne (yes, I&#039;m naming the town and everything to tell people to STAY AWAY) that said buying antiques, coins, silver, gold and noticed some coins and other numismatic objects in the window. So one day I decided to stop in. There was some younger guy in there talking to an old lady as I walked and looked around. He had some fractional currency notes, other paper money I was interested in, as well as stacks of Morgan and Peace dollars locked in the case. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m patiently waiting and happen to hear the conversation he&#039;s having with the elderly lady in the shop. She is asking about whether he buys &quot;old silver dollars&quot; and he lets out an exasperated sigh. &quot;Yes, I do. What do you have?&quot; She stated that she was not sure as they belonged to her recently deceased husband. He then rolled his eyes and said &quot;If you don&#039;t know what you have, then I can&#039;t give you an idea of worth. I can&#039;t even start.&quot; He started asking about mintmarks, luster, and other details of the coin in numismatic language that someone outside of the collecting realm would have no idea about. When she asked about what a mintmark was and where it wa slocated, he quickly spouted off all of the mint sites that produced the coins and told her &quot;look for those on the coin.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>She obviously looked confused so he told her that she needed to bring them in. When she got up and left, he said &quot;glad that idiot is gone.&quot; I know for a fact that he saw me and still didn&#039;t care.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I go up to him, ask him about the paper notes he had in the cases, along with the Peace dollars and he just looks at me and said &quot;none of it is for sale.&quot; I was flabbergasted. So I said, let me get this straight, you have a shop with coins and other wares, yet you sell nothing here? He then proceeded to tell me that he buys things when people come in and then sells them on ebay. The pompous jerk then starts telling me his conquerer stories of how he rips people off by underbidding or buying CC coins at Philadelphia, Denver, or New Orleans prices and then making boatloads of cash. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had previously asked about the fractional notes and he told me that he would only sell them as a set for $350, take it or leave it. He told me about ripping off people as we walked towards the case that housed the fractionals. As soon as I heard that, I told him where to go and slammed the door on my way out. I don&#039;t think he even cared.</p><p><br /></p><p>WORST EXPERIENCE EVER![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
