D. BerginHaHa! Memories. I remember Chuck from years ago doing the Connecticut show circuit. I always had oddball stuff and Chuck liked oddball stuff so we would do a lot of trades.
The general rule when you dealt with Chuck was, he usually priced everything double what he was actually willing to sell it for. I think he got this from his years of dealing with jewelry. Make the customer think they're getting a great deal by slashing your original price by a large percentage.
Chuck was always a talker so it didn't take him long to get to his..........."I can give you a great deal on this........" line. LOL!!
He was definitely a character from when I knew him. He was a hustler and wheeler dealer who would set up absolutely anywhere with his jewelry or his cards. I remember hearing stories of Chuck setting up shop in Old Folks homes during the week or at country fairs.
He was always a salesman, that's for sure.
