this is all like some perverted game of online telephone where each listener assumes that what they think they heard is the original story and the undeniable truth.
<< <i>I understand - at our local shop they let the regular customers watch. >>
At some coin shops they'll let the regulars keep any coins that fly out of their pockets or off their person so long as it's not gold or an '01-S quarter.
No one I know will let the regulars help unless the biddie is get- ting away. Otherwise they'd be trying to get coins airbourne.
Our local B&M is not as elaborate and is more or less automated and doesn’t take any chances of even letting a potential customer into the store. Once the person sees that the entrance door has an electronic buzzer, they ring the bell and it’s Good-bye Joe, right through a gravity fed the trap door.
Once the customer is tumbling in the chute, the coins get dislodged and are automatically sorted as they fall through the various calibrated slots. Upon arriving in a disheveled mass, the customer has been summarily “fleeced” with out his/her knowledge that it even happened.
Meantime, the trap door is hydraulically re-set for the next customer.
Okay, since none have done it yet... here goes nothing:
I do think it's interesting about the hundreds of rips posted by collectors like it's no big deal or a good slap on the back, but when a dealer ends up with an unintentional rip and talks about it, they are strung up.
Now, I know why more dealers don't talk about the things that show up.
And I'll say this for Al... as someone who has done business with him through this website in the past, I've never had an issue with what he sells or how it's described. There are others on this board who aren't so blessed.

U.S. Air Force Security Forces Retired
In memory of the USAF Security Forces lost: A1C Elizabeth N. Jacobson, 9/28/05; SSgt Brian McElroy, 1/22/06; TSgt Jason Norton, 1/22/06; A1C Lee Chavis, 10/14/06; SSgt John Self, 5/14/07; A1C Jason Nathan, 6/23/07; SSgt Travis Griffin, 4/3/08; 1Lt Joseph Helton, 9/8/09; SrA Nicholas J. Alden, 3/3/2011. God Bless them and all those who have lost loved ones in this war. I will never forget their loss.
I think, in general, your assertion I do think it's interesting about the hundreds of rips posted by collectors like it's no big deal or a good slap on the back, but when a dealer ends up with an unintentional rip and talks about it, they are strung up. is incorrect. If a collector rips a seller with no knowledge, then I think the collector will be chastised. If a collector rips a dealer, then I think the collector will be praised. The difference? Quite simply, it's knowledge. A dealer presumably is an expert; after all, that's how he or she makes his or her living. As an expert, I believe that: 1) The expert has the ethical obligation to behave reasonably well to a non-expert. In other words, a dealer (or a knowledgable collector) should not rip a naive seller. Why? Because we all all naive in some areas of life. I don't want to be "ripped" by an expert car dealer nor by an expert doctor nor by an expert etc. I want these experts to behave ethically because that makes life much easier. The alternative, that is all experts attempt to rip all naive customers, means that I (and you!) would be forced to become an expert in all areas to avid being ripped, which would be an incredibly costly endeavor. I expect I would not succeed in this attempt.
2) The expert must stand his or her opinion. In other words, if an expert makes an error in his or her area of expertise that causes him or her to lose, then he or she must live with it. In other words, if a coin dealer misses a rare VAM, a rare die state, or even a rare date and is therefore cherry picked, that's the cost of an expert making a mistake in the same way that if a doctor makes a signficant error, the doctor can be financially "punished" by a law suit.
Obviously the fuzzy grey area is what is a rip and what is simply a decent profit margin. In my mind, Keets' actions constituted an unethical rip; others apparently disagree. So be it...
Mark states the case quite eloquently. And though this horse has been reduced to pulp... it's not at all the fact that the '01-S went unnoticed by keets at first. It's the fact that the lucky dealer (not keets, as he has seen fit to remind us) seems to show no interest in tracking down the clueless seller to, at the very least, throw them a bone. It puts all coin dealers in a bad light, and is regrettable.

Clearly your definition of "personal attack" and mine differ. Apparently in your view stating that someone's views are "bs" is a fair, non-personal comment. I envy the world in which you live, a world in which the phrase "bs" is a compelling intellectual statement. Frankly I believe use of the phrase "bs" in regard to someone's post qualifies as a personal attack. But as I said in my first post (which was a non-personal attack in my vew and a personal attack in your view) others apparently disagree. So I thank you again for your logical argument with my post.
I also thank you in advance for correcting any of my spelling in this post.

So, let me understand your latest statement: If I say your post is full of bs and I think that's the truth, then my assertion is not a personal attack because I believe I am speaking the truth? Frankly, I think that's a ridiculous statement. To respond to someone's post by calling it bs seems to me to come very close to a personal attack. (Indeed, I think it crosses the line...but, again, others may disagee.) And, though I think your last post is inane, I surely will not call it bs because that is not my mode of discussion. I prefer to reply with a post that explains my disagreement and actually attempts to advance the discussion. And hence here is my post.
Please feel free to respond with your usual insightful one sentence comment (whether or not it uses your favorite 2 letter abbreviation). Alternatively, I am headed off to bed, so if you want to take a bit more time to perhaps post more than one pithy sentence, go ahead. Also, please correct any spelling errors I have made.

It's not technically a "rip" if you don't know your ripping someone at the time, but do discover later on after they had already left, that they were indeed the victum of a rip.

I think, in general, your assertion I do think it's interesting about the hundreds of rips posted by collectors like it's no big deal or a good slap on the back, but when a dealer ends up with an unintentional rip and talks about it, they are strung up. is incorrect. If a collector rips a seller with no knowledge, then I think the collector will be chastised. If a collector rips a dealer, then I think the collector will be praised. The difference? Quite simply, it's knowledge. A dealer presumably is an expert; after all, that's how he or she makes his or her living. As an expert, I believe that:
1) The expert has the ethical obligation to behave reasonably well to a non-expert. In other words, a dealer (or a knowledgable collector) should not rip a naive seller. Why? Because we all all naive in some areas of life. I don't want to be "ripped" by an expert car dealer nor by an expert doctor nor by an expert etc. I want these experts to behave ethically because that makes life much easier. The alternative, that is all experts attempt to rip all naive customers, means that I (and you!) would be forced to become an expert in all areas to avid being ripped, which would be an incredibly costly endeavor. I expect I would not succeed in this attempt.
2) The expert must stand his or her opinion. In other words, if an expert makes an error in his or her area of expertise that causes him or her to lose, then he or she must live with it. In other words, if a coin dealer misses a rare VAM, a rare die state, or even a rare date and is therefore cherry picked, that's the cost of an expert making a mistake in the same way that if a doctor makes a signficant error, the doctor can be financially "punished" by a law suit.
Obviously the fuzzy grey area is what is a rip and what is simply a decent profit margin. In my mind, Keets' actions constituted an unethical rip; others apparently disagree. So be it...

And many here who pay homage to and seek the knowledge and council of one who has the ability to sell a nickel for $5 Million... and then speak of fairness in a world where there are children starving to death... then say that is not your concern but the actions of an employee in a coin shop are of your concern and that you have to speak up because that IS an atrocity...
Oh the humanity...or lack there of...
Patooie...
Ya can all go sit on a soggy cornflake...
