<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 6683824, member: 92655"]I make every experience a good one. I once went into a shop when I visited back home. I was buzzed in and received something of the cold shoulder however I kept my smile on my face and made it a point to strike up a conversation that made it apparent that I knew a little something about coins. Before I left the owner came out of the back and we were all laughing and enjoying each other’s company. The shop happens to be a mile from my grandsons home who is now a coin collector. I frequently will call the shop and place an order over the phone for my grandson to go pick up and they remember me each time I call.</p><p><br /></p><p>My whole point is this. A coin dealer by nature has to be cautious in this day and age. We have a CT member that was shot running his coin shop! It is up to us to make the experience a good one. Then if the dealer doesn’t reciprocate, then write them off. But we have to make the initial effort to break the ice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
