That's where you lost me. Why would you support this guy?
As much hassle as it was for you with the drive & weather, and as much as you eventually found coins you needed/liked, I'd still have asked to borrow his phone book, looked up a competitor, and left the store with the page still left open to "coin dealers".............. and then maybe even called him from the other store to let him know how much I'd spent there instead!
Sometimes, it's the only way they'll learn.
Anyone we should know to avoid? I only know of one specific Chicago area dealer and I would be beyond astonished to find out it was that one.
So I agree....out him so our imaginations don't hurt the innocent
What a bummer though....
Double edit: the first for spelling and the second to point out that it was clarified that the dealer in question is NOT HJB (which was beyond unimaginable, but nice to have confirmed) per one of the deleted posts. A Third Comment: Margaritas tonight!

HJB right Cathy?
C'mon Dan, let us know who it was. PM me the name if you want.

<< <i>JMO, but I can’t fathom remaining in any coin shop for 6 ½ hours, let alone the one you described…and you gave them money? Sorry, but I don’t get it
yup, me neither. I won't give anyone my time or money that is a blatant jerk or that trys to belittle me. I can have a fairly thick skin for awhile, then the Marine may come out in me.

I'm with some of the others here: Out him. Please. For the general benefit of the hobby, I think his name, his shop, and his internet persona, Ebay ID included, should be made public. I wish to make darned certain that I never give him any of my business, but if I don't know who he is, I might end up accidentally doing what I do not wish to do.

not to kick a dead horse, but I will just circle back to my first response.

<< <i>It never ceases to amaze me how some dealers don't even begin to realize how much they are alienating potential customers . >>
Apparently, they're not alienating potential customers at all...some stay for 6 1/2 hours of abuse, buy stuff, and then they complain about their terrible experience
Sorry, Dan. I shouldn't have replied this way, but I just couldn't resist...I just don't get it.
Peace -Preussen

<< <i>All deleted. Preussen: Go take a flying leap. >>
Dan: I'm sorry if the truth hurt. From your descriptions, I would agree that the dealer apparently sucks, but it also seems obvious to me that you were a more-than-willing recipient of any abuse and/or poor customer service. Not only did you accept it, you rewarded it. JMO -Preussen
Treating employees like this in front of costumers is not something to be proud of...
In all fairness... if one is looking through an inventory, that takes time, especially for world coins... German States, France and England can take time. Did I say Mexico?
Lets remember this is a hobby and it is suppost to be fun. I have bought from afew dealers I would not want to sit down and have a beer with... that is part of life... and perhaps I am not their favorite customer either. Dealing with folks is part of collecting... and that goes with the territory. Sharing "war stories" is part of collecting too.
So lets move on and get over the bump in the road... there are too many coins worthy of more serious discussions...

Since you insist upon flogging a dead horse for whatever perverse joy you get out of it, I'll call a spade a spade: You're a holier-than-thou moralizing jackass.
Since I would have already invested the 6 hours of driving time and $50 in gasoline expenses to get there and back, just what exactly would have leaving the coins on the counter and stomping out of there accomplished other than punishing myself?
Will I go back? No.
Will I ever recommend that others shop there? No.
It's called making the best of an unpleasant situation.
But to imply that I had some sort of an obligation to leave there empty handed is moronic. Especially in light of the fact that THE MESSAGE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN RECEIVED.
The only result would have been a complete and utter waste of my time... sort of like replying to you has become.

To me, the hobby is fun, and should be fun. As I said before, I'm sorry you had a bad experience.

Please feel free to discontinue wasting your time by PM-ing this "holier-than-thou moralizing jackass" with your stupid questions. -Preussen

You are such a tool - why not slither back under your rock and stop bothering people.

<< <i>I'm sorry, but I missed the OP. What did CaptHenway do this time? >>
Dan got a bit upset with my replies and deleted his post. He said the dealer involved was “Distinctive Coins,” not HJB. -Preussen
