1) We greatly appreciate your business!
2) As with any business, there are good merchants and not-so-good merchants. Please do not stereotype coin dealers. Base your opinions on real-world experiences with each dealer.
3) It is not a good idea to put your 84 ounce Slurpee (or similar beverage) on a coin dealer's case at a show--especially if said dealer has his or her currency on display.
value of the coins you collect. They stand behind their product and both parties are happy at the
conclusion of a deal. They develop repeat customers.
Poor dealers discourage you from gaining knowledge from anyone but them. Often leave you feeling
ok about the deal at the time but later you won't be so happy.

We only deal in major mint errors and we DO NOT have anything to do with VAMs, double dies or RPM's.
The true rarity of most major mint errors, especially the major modern errors after 2001.
If you want an opinion on the coin that you think is an error, then I will gladly give it as long as you know in advance that odds are you have a PMD coin.

With practically every dealer at the CSNS showing telling us everything was at NET prices which means no negotiating, I kind of wasn't getting that, 'overall coin collecting experience (that) is crucial to (this) long term health of this great hobby' you're talking about. Of course, we simply did not buy from those dealers.
But than again, there's always the problem with those who don't negotiate and the dealer knows he has the coin priced too high so what's he to do? A very tricky situation, it is if you want a satisfied customer.

If coins were priced fairly for their quality, eye appeal, etc. what is the problem? I find that with the dealers I routinely work with I have very little reason to negotiate.

This! Though I only dabble as a part time dealer, I far prefer working with experienced, educated collectors who know a good coin
when they see one, and know the price is fair, pull the trigger when I offer it to them, and are thrilled when they receive it. I believe
many other dealers feel this same way.

There used to be a B&M that I frequented as a YN. Looking back, I bought a lot of crap from him based on his "expertise", and assurance that it was a great deal. Whenever I would mention purchasing a coin or note from another dealer, he would get irate, giving me the "loyalty" guilt trip. As I got older, I discovered that the dealers he badmouthed the most turned out to be the most fair and honest ones, who I still deal with to this day.

That is exactly what I mean. I remember that show well. That was MadMarty's rubber chicken and I made a citizen's arrest for putting its drink on my showcase. The chicken was booted from the show and MadMarty was fined $1 and informed that he could never run for an ANA Governor's seat. To this day, that is the only reason that MadMarty has never ran for office at the ANA.
