BuffalosRock Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 06/15/2012 11:11 am Quote: I agree BuffalosRock... The worst part of that is it still happens now... just read what has been posted in the 'Is coin collecting harder for a YN?' thread. To quote myself; "A dealer raised the price on an object when I was alone and dropped it when my father came." Haven't read that thread, I will now though. This is part of what I was talking about in my "Sharks" thread. $#%^ dealers who profile and try to rip off novice collectors. that gives the whole hobby a bad name. Part of the reason I stopped collecting as a kid was that my dad was so suspicious of all coin dealers he effectively wouldn't let me buy anything - worried it was a rip-off seeing as how he had no knowledge of the hobby himself - but was a salesman and recognized all the sleazy ploys they were using when we'd visit a shop loaclly or on vacation. I was frustrated at not being able to add anything "cool" like 3-leggers or gold or rare coins and just abandoned the whole hobby. Report this Post to the Staff
