Default Why Insult The Buyers???

Posted By: J Levine

A few years back I was at a show and was quoted a price on a T-212 that I thought was very high. He said it was a percentage of book...Being the pain in the butt that I am, I asked what book...he groped around under the table and produced the SCD price guide...I told him to look it up for me...he was totally irritated and actually told me to get away from his table. I went to the next table, got a price guide and looked it up myself...I then walked back to his table and in front of several customers mentioned what an honest dealer he was because he did say that the card was a percentage of book value, it just happened to be 115% of book value. I then walked away...rudeness and a complete lack of knowledge always makes me nuts...granted I may have lost him some business but I feel that I saved some collectors some grief and maybe (big maybe) the dealer learned a lesson.
