<p>[QUOTE="Catbert, post: 490272, member: 12718"]coinnewbie - I understand your frustration. No one likes to be judged wrongly by appearances. Unfortunately, this appears to be human nature. Research has shown that in employment interviews, interviewers make judgements within 5 seconds whether they would consider hiring a person. That is obviously ridiculous, but my point is you can anticipate and overcome something similar happening (first impressions) in dealer interactions by dressing neatly and covering your tatoos with long sleeves. I know that probably angers you, but you won't "win" anything by cursing them out. After all, you may want a particular coin that the dealer has and it would be to your advantage to remove the prejudice before it starts. It's all about your collection, not a crusade to change people who won't or can't change. Now, after reading this bit of unsolicited advice, you can tell me to go where the sun doesn't shine! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
