<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jason Hoffpauir, post: 2252918, member: 67527&quot;]I have had some very good experiences with my local coin shop owner; but lately that has changed drastically.&nbsp; He always gives me $1 lower than spot and rounds off purchases in my favor.&nbsp; I ask him to keep a look out for 90% and silver world coins; to include paper Euro (he gives me a 1:1 exchange).&nbsp; The problem lately has been that he is NEVER there. He has to do things for his wife; who is a crazy woman.&nbsp; She looks like a man and totally controls him. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I have witnessed her come in and take all the gold coins in the display and tell her husband that she is taking them for the kid’s college education.&nbsp; The guys in the shop believe that this is B.S. but really and truly this is none of our business.&nbsp; At times he leaves an incompetent individual in charge (when he is out for the afternoon or lunch) who has lost money for him in the past (he doesn&#039;t know how to count) by short changing a transaction in favor of the customer.&nbsp; He destroyed an entire binder of old silver $10 silver certificates.&nbsp; Plus, he is very rude to customers.&nbsp; The shop owner has recently fired him.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Well back to the OP question.&nbsp; I went into the shop and silver spot was at $15.38 and he had some 90% and I asked him that I would take $20 worth of it.&nbsp; He told me that he &quot;bought&quot; the silver at $16.25 at OKC and that was the price he would charge minus my $1 discount.&nbsp; I told him that it was not my fault that silver dropped and if he advertised silver at $15.83 then that should be the price he charges.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; But here is the kicker. I called one day and asked for $10 worth of 90% and he told me that the current spot price was $14.83 and we agreed on that price.&nbsp; I told him I would come in the next day and pick it up.&nbsp; I came in the next day and silver rose to $15.25 and that he had to adjust the price.&nbsp; I told him to forget it and he asked me why.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I said to him that he is double dipping by charging a higher price (because he bought it at that price) when the current spot price is down; and then taking advantage of silver rising and charging me because it went up overnight. I think it is unethical as we had agreed on a price and then he changes it.&nbsp; He is losing money at his shop because he is never there and now he is trying to make it up by using his regular customers to make up the slack.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I know some of the shop owners here on these forums will probably defend his actions and that is their right.&nbsp; It is also my right to disagree and call it &quot;unethical&quot;.&nbsp; I believe you can&#039;t have it both ways. That is JMHO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
