Had a bad experiance the other day in Athens, Ohio figured I'd share:
I have only been into 2 shops in my life. I was 2 hours from home one day when I passed this small shop in the middle of nowhere. I stopped in to see if he had any silver for sale. Soon as I walked in I could tell this guy was a bit full of himself. Had a few Mint sets in display cases and lots of holders and such but that's about it. I asked if he had any silver for sale he first said no. Then he said he would sell some if I paid what he paid for them. How much I asked, $25/oz he stated for ASE's. I casually blew that off and asked about 90%. Do you buy it I asked, He replied he'd have to see it to give price. I said you can't give me a price like 7x face or something like that? He said No, It depends on dates and condition and you'll never get 7x face when silver is @ $9 (spot was $9.97 at this time). I replied "really?" He said smugly Really! I didn't get into the debate of paper/bullion with him. I decided to ask, do you have any for sale? I'll give you 9x face. He laughed and said he would sell for 18x, I then laughed. While walkin out the door I stated Silver is $10/oz BTW, He got pissed and said Your wrong, Its 9.97! I said well its closer to $10 than the $9 you told me it was at when I entered. What a moron, Are all dealers like this?
