fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 11/25/2010 12:41 pm This shop where I have bought silver is kind of a high-brow place. On days that they are busy, they have a rent-a-cop at the door. There are always several to many customers in there and it's not a large shop. I have no problem asking the guard to escort me to my vehicle when I've carried out $1k+ in coins. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

Gothic Florin Pillar of the Community United States 2541 Posts	Posted 11/25/2010 12:46 pm Tell him to take a hike and that dinosaurs like him will go out of business with tactics like that. It still blows my mind how many coin dealers can know a lot about coins, but nothing about how to run a business and develop and maintain a client base. I don't know a lot about coins, but I could do a much better job of marketing and building client relationships than this chump.... Report this Post to the Staff
brokencompass Valued Member United States 451 Posts	Posted 11/25/2010 1:45 pm I would like to buy from a coin shop where I am being treated like a fellow collector and not a client. IMO, Big buck stores like these that nickel and dime the client will not do that good long term! Report this Post to the Staff

TenSense Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 11/27/2010 7:53 pm I've gotten to where I almost always get below melt, shipped, whether online or here. If a dealer tried to charge me a sorting fee, I'd hand the coins back to him and never shop them again. Report this Post to the Staff

fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 11/28/2010 5:49 pm I checked with APMEX, and the same amount of Kennedys with a 75 cent per oz. price drop right now would still have cost $542, not including shipping. Ouch. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
