1)Real lowball offers .... Learned to say "pass" rather than have a conversation.
Yep. I have never made a sale to someone who started out with a lowball offer. Easier to just decline and go on your way.
Yep. Learned to say "pass". I learned that in Charm school. LOL
Reminds me of the old joke...
Two informally dressed ladies happened to start up a conversation during an endless wait in the LAX airport.
The first lady was an arrogant California woman married to a wealthy man.
The second was a well mannered elderly woman from the South.
When the conversation centered on whether they had any children, the California woman started by saying, "When my first child was born, my husband built a beautiful mansion for me."
The lady from the South commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman continued, "When my second child was born, my husband bought me a beautiful Mercedes-Benz..
Again, the lady from the South commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman continued boasting, "Then, when my third child was born, my husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet.
Yet again, the Southern lady commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman then asked her companion, "What did your husband buy for you when you had your first child?"
"My husband sent me to charm school," declared the Southern lady.
"Charm school?" the first woman cried, "Oh, my God! What on earth for?"
The Southern lady responded, "Well for example, instead of saying "Who gives a sh*t?" I learned to say, "Well, isn't that precious"...

Using the letter O when describing a date with a ZERO in it. 1909 cent described verbally as 19"O"9.
That’s really one of your two biggest dislikes in the hobby?😮
Mark Feld* of Heritage Auctions*Unless otherwise noted, my posts here represent my personal opinions.
Yes. Everything is wonderful.
Would you prefer “nineteen hundred and nine” or “one thousand nine hundred and nine” or “nineteen zero nine”?
“O” is just short for zerO.
OK I'll play...
