<p>[QUOTE=&quot;twoshadows, post: 3438616, member: 102135&quot;]I really do love my job, enjoy meeting the people, and am thrilled at never knowing what is coming in the door next but I hate the feeling that I have to tell these folks they are wrong or have been misled by the internet or the guy next door. I feel like I am stepping on a bug that really doesn&#039;t want to be stepped on. I am sure many leave thinking I was trying to rip them off and I honestly try to be fair with everyone but I learned quickly you can be too fair, for one reason or another, and now your stuck with a lemon you shouldn&#039;t have paid so much for. It was really strange standing on the other side of the counter after being a collector all my life and it has taken some adapting.</p><p>The ones that really hurt the most are those folks who bought from a TV shopping network or junk out of a magazine as they cannot ever get their money back on modern day junk that has been dressed up in a nice display case or a bunch of worn out low grade coins that have been promoted as valuable and rare. I see low grade Buffalo Nickels (worth about 65 cents) that were purchased in fancy packaging for $19.95 a month for two coins and I literally hate breaking the news to them. </p><p>I tell everyone if you want to collect find a coin shop or reputable dealer, visit him and build a relationship and he/she will make every effort to take care of you and your collecting habits. I have a bunch of new friends, collectors and enjoy talking with them whether they are in a buying or selling mood. They understand my need to make a profit to keep the doors open and I understand their needs and as long as we meet in the middle they will always be back to keep me company.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
