<p>[QUOTE=&quot;williamtipton, post: 52584, member: 815&quot;]I talked to one of the guys at a big coin shop in ohio about some coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>He told me that they didnt catalog everything i such a manner that he could just name them off if I asked if they had something, that hed have to go thru the trays one at a time to see and he didnt have the time for that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I told him I lived 2 hours away and I could drive up and &#039;&#039;shop&#039;&#039;.</p><p>He said to come on in and I could tell them what years I was looking for and that they could pull those trays and I could go thru them (since no one could tell me what exactly was in stock and no one was willing to do the searching for me.....go figure...I have no clue how anyone is supposed to know what they have &#039;&#039;for sale&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p><br /></p><p>So anyway, I drive the 2 hours and when i arrive I explain the situation to another guy (the one i had talked to had left for the day).</p><p>He refuses to do what the first guy had said and tells me I need to tell him what coins I am looking for&nbsp; and he will pick them out.</p><p><br /></p><p>now, Im NEW to this game ........hello, myfly......I have NO CLUE what Im looking for and I explained this in detail to the first gent.</p><p><br /></p><p>All I know is I would like to start with the 1600-1700s. I havent any idea what&nbsp; I actaully want to &#039;&#039;collect&#039;&#039; at this point.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hes very insistant and I ask him &#039;&#039;if you dont have a LIST of what is &#039;&#039;for sale&#039;&#039; and I cant SEE what is for sale, and you dont have time to LOOK for more than just a couple items (that was explianed to me by the first guy, they wont sit and wait for you for more than a few mins ) then exactly HOW am I supposed to buy ANYTHING from you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess the trick is that Im supposed to make a &#039;&#039;list&#039;&#039; and submit it, then wait for as long as it takes for them to get those coins, driving 2 hours each way each time to pick up whatever they end up getting in.</p><p>completely nuts.</p><p><br /></p><p>So anyway, the guy says &#039;&#039;well, we&#039;re having a sale and there are some coins listed in the flyer&quot;</p><p>So I ended up only getting a handful of coins that were on this flyer.</p><p>I liked them and all, but I got to see about 1%&nbsp; of what the store actually had in stock (not entire stock, just the years I wanted)&nbsp; because of their methods.</p><p><br /></p><p>Needless to say Im not bothering with them again.</p><p>If they cant let one &#039;&#039;shop&#039;&#039; then they damned well need to have a complete list of what is &#039;for sale&#039;&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
