Does Your Coin Dealer Offer Layaway?

Not only laywaway, but takeaway. LOL

I was in about a month ago to see if he had any "melt" jewerly so I could buy my wife a 20 year anniversary present. He pulled out a giant box of stuff and made some suggestions. I found an awesome diamond ring but didn't have the cash with me so he said "take it home and come back another time with the cash".

This topic reminds me of an interesting situation. At one of the many coin shows in my area there is one dealer that is there almost all the time. One of his customers a few years ago asked if he could buy a 1916D Mercury dime, MS-60 on time. He told this dealer he is out of work so it will take a long time to pay it off. Also, mentioned to the dealer he lives not far from the dealer's store. The dealer told him his family watches the store so he is alone at the coin shows so how would you like to work off some of the payments by working for me. Since then that customer found a job but still works for that dealer at all the shows.
Asking about time paymnets paid off in this instance.
