He also said he had lots of slabbed material though. I said great, I'd like to take a look to see what there is to see. He then asked if there was something specific I was looking for. I then tried to tell him I buy lots of different things and named a few series. He then explained that without something specific he just wasn't going to pull out his $4,000,000 in inventory. I kinda stood there with a blank WTF look on my face for a second, said I guess you really don't want to sell anything and I walked out when another customer was coming in so I did not have to wait to be buzzed out.
Perhaps a response like "Well, let's try slabbed Morgan Dollars first and see how it goes" would have been more effective than a "blank WTF look" on your face.

If it's primarily a jewelry store, a standard clause in business insurance is that you can only let a customer look at one item at a time. If you hand an unknown customer a box or tray and they steal or swap lower value items, you are not covered. We even got training materials for Jewelers Mutual that one sign of a thief was the customer that came in to your store not knowing what they wanted. if the customer didn't say "diamond engagement ring around $3000" that was supposed to be a dire warning sign.
