My local coin dealer is a nut.

My last post about the microscope episode in my local coin dealer's shop got me thinking about my collection again so I called him up to see if he is in a better mood today.
I don't know if he has caller id and knows my phone number (I call him alot with questions and to chat about coins...even though it irritates him...ha ha.) but Somehow I think he knew it was me because he wouldn't even discuss what I was offering him.
Six months ago I bought 1999,2000,2001,2002,2003, and 2004 Gold plated state quarters off of QVC. I have all 5 from each year, in mint condition. He told me he didn't want them, so I figured he knew it was me, (way to hold a grudge, Mike!) so I told him I would sacrifice for half of what I paid because I need the money even though 1999 gold plated SQ's are probably rare by now.
He said he wouldn't give me anything for them and "real" collectors don't even want them and I said that was crap and that they sell them on QVC all the time and these are coated with real gold.
He told me to put them on ebay and maybe some non-collector would buy them. It is dealers like this that really p!ss me off. There is no reason he couldn't buy them at the bargain I offered and sell them in his store or he could put them on ebay himself.
He told me it was out of the question and I called him an A-hole again, lol.
This guy is really getting under my skin.

You're certainly not one to complain about not seeing the humor in a situation.

Oh that. Now that I think about it, it's rather funny and ingenious. Give him a promotion and raise.

Also, the gold plated state quarters are not wanted by many collectors. They are probably worth a few cents over face value to somebody who likes them.
Just, wow.

You've got to be joking. You're joking right?? Oh my.........
If you have some extra time, would you please help me in upgrading my set of dateless buffalo nickels? I really have no idea of where to start.
P.S. Would a partial date be considered an upgrade?
Have a Great Day!
