Went to a dealer to get my feet wet collecting notes, well I asked for 15 notes in unc, but the dealer snuck in three with center creases, a cheap lesson, will not trust the dealer and always look... j but makes me mad...

I would go back and let him make it right. Your spending your hard earned money at his place of business. Your doing him a favor.

Yea, I agree. Go back. Tell the truth without anger. It works best.

Had a similar thing happen when I bought a couple of rolls of silver halves for the silver content. I wanted all 90%, they brought out two rolls and there were 4 or 5 40% halves in the lot. Of course I didnt check until I got home which was my fault, but it was a quick lesson to check when making purchases of multiple items.

Here is another dealer type story, from another part time dealer, I ordered the same, I casually start looking.. and the dealer gets in a snarl.. I said was just looking, then he looks and takes out three items that were overgraded, guess we just have to be more diligent. Though I read note collectors can be grumpy j/bc
I may go back and try to solve my first problem, but it was a cheap lesson.

some dealers will "test" the waters with you, once they find out how much you know, you can become best of friends. I agree with the above statements take them back an find out his reasoning.

Jeepers only a few purchases and both times was taken advantage of. A cheap lesson, will shop around more and take the time to check my purchases, thanks for posts. j/bc |

Also, If a dealer starts to get really testy or borderline rude... I ve had no problem in the past canceling any pending transactions, informing him that I do not appreciate his demeanor, and leaving.
As the buyer you do in fact hold all the power.

I hate that! It's like one of the rolls of dimes I searched yesterday. Someone snuck a doctored PMC into the roll. You have to be pretty bad off to have to cheat some one out of 9 cents. Just like those dealers that would rather cheat you than really built up a good clientele. Those people loose in the end no matter how they justify their actions.

Well today went back and exchanged the paper notes for a few in unc, no hassle went smooth, and the dealer got a little more note sales... j
I also went to a few other stores to buy notes, pretty well the same condition though the larger store charged more...
