Since when has having good manners and wanting to help and please a customer been a bad thing?
NumismaticsFTW - That may be the case in the USA, but in the UK and New Zealand - people like that don't last in business very long. The customer is king.
Sadly you speak the truth, stamp and coin dealers are mainly elderly white men with little or no social skills. Most are very comfortably off and have other income streams, so do not depend on sales of their coins and stamps. I have noticed frequent off hand behaviour at anyone who looks young, female or not dressed like a million dollars and sadly anyone who is not white too. One dealer who I once brought much stuff off, never saw me again after he shouted down a woman with different religious views from his own (She was a Bhuddist, he is a Pentecostalist born again Christian), I never had anything to do with him again as I defended the woman.
Basically if a dealer is a white supremacist, belongs to a hate church or thinks everyone should spend $0000s of dollars on overpriced stuff - I ignore them with the swiftness.
Still a positive helpful dealer is one thing that can stop our hobbie(s) going the way of history. Smiles cost nothing.

I'll defer to the OP on this, but if you do an advanced search of NOPE in titles and descriptions in the category Coins and Paper Money you'll see all his listings.

Maybe he used to work at The Olympia Cafe. No Coke, Pepsi.
He's a small time version of a big company. Ever phoned or emailed a big compamy? You get automated replies. Why do companies do that? Because customers call to complain something is wrong before doing the basics, like first plugging in the unit. Hand holding is expensive, so without it I expect prices to be lower.

Personally, I would never criticize others in writing if I lacked the basic grammar skills to do so. But that's just my opinion.  |

While I don't particularly like what this seller has written in their listings, I have bought from this seller numerous times. They regularly have for auction great selections of coins and what you see is what you get.

I too hear good things about his coins, but there in lies the problem he doesn't show the edge which is one of THE MOST important sides of Conder tokens which he sells a lot of, without knowing if it's plain, reeded or lettered can make an absolute HUGE difference in pricing.  He says to not ask questions and do my own research, yet he fails to provide the basics on these tokens. No way I'm bidding $50 to $100+ on a Conder that ends up being worth $35 because he won't tell what the edge design is. Not worth it, so he looses out on any money from me.

Here's a gem I noticed while reviewing his feedback: The buyer of a $110 item complained, "Flimsy and inadequate packaging for a collectible item. The original mint envelope including the coin arrived bent and crimped." The seller replied, "Well. Some things happen. You seem to be an expert on being flimsy and inadequate yourself."   |

Westcoin- I would let him know it's imperative to see the 3rd side.
I want to dive into Conder tokens myself!

Personally, I see nothing wrong with his "disclaimers". There are some real idiots who buy coins on ebay, and they cause an inordinate amount of trouble and frustration for sellers. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

My point was that in scaring away the idiots, a lot of potentially good buyers get scared away too.
