it's odd, I'm new to stacking and the only 2 interactions I've had with retailers have been very unpleasant. Both the owners were very rude and almost sarcastic like, answering my questions as if I was dumb. And even calling over the phone people sounded miserable, I don't get it.
I'm like you. I put all my maples (and only my maples ... they're so beautiful) in capsules and definitely want 2018 or newer for the mint shield tech. If he can't treat his merchandise with care himself, you have no reason to buy from him. His loss.
You need to go on Google Maps and give him a one-star review and write on that review The Experience you had so other people do not have that same experience or give their money to that scumbag
I was listening to your story trying to take a nap, and you had me laughing so hard I had to write about it. This is the story of my life everywhere I go. As a person who experienced this hundreds of times regardless of where it is, I would like to make a suggestion, if I may. Just dont even worry about it. Don't be worried about what you did, and don't be confused. The only thing I felt you did incorrectly is try and rationalize this scenario. People are strange. He may have just got the worst news of his life. His dog could have just died. Or he may have forgotten to take his medication? You may not have gotten your maples, but what a great laugh! I say time well spent. 😂 Thanks for the content. I just subscribed. 👍
@keithb9100 thankyou for your thoughts Sir! Thankyou for watching as well. Theres plenty of other shops in the world to explore! Lots of content coming this month stay tuned
It has been my experience in recent years that the proprietor at LCS fall into 2 categories. The are either rude and act like they are doing you a favor to sell. Or they are the type that are very knowledgeable, and love shoot the breeze with you. Sorry that happened to you and a thumbs up that you kept your cool. I would not have been so courteous, but I have never been on to not say what I think.
I do have to wonder about the people's state of mind these days. I think we've all had a similar experience. You didn't do anything wrong, in fact you did everything right including your quick exit.
My lcs is awesom3. They answer all my questions. They are friendly. Recently i found 89 mercury dimes in a box of dimes and i ran straight to show them because i knew they would sppreciate that. Even the old man that i never talk to came over to see my video of showing the rolls with merc enders and the one double ender and i brought the dimes. Even he was impressed and talked to me lol.
Was his shop primarily a seller of U.S.coins.If so that would explain it.I am a collector of German Austrian coins myself and have experianced that from some coin dealers at shows and shops too.
I recently purchased silver and was charged tax on legal tender as well as charged for using debit stating it as credit...won't be purchasing again from the seller.
I may be a little late on this conversation but i had a similar experience with a shop i frequently shop at and i have not gone back in a while, being in business is a blessing by your customers and without them you have no business,!!! Sometimes assholes need to be left alone.
Tell people like that hey I’m here to spend and look 1st always of coarse I don’t want strange attitude I’ve tried the nice guy life almost 40 doesn’t work
@@FourNines-silverProbably having to tell people every day that the “error” or “rare” coins people bring in are neither errors or rare, and just pocket change, but they’re convinced otherwise because they saw something on Google or some coin app that makes them think their priceless.
Yeah, forget that guy...how he's even in business yet is beyond me. Terrible customer service. I would not go back. What's the name of the place so we all know?
Imo it went south after you said, I have a silly question, do you have perfect condition Maple Leafs🤷🏽♂️Owner probably didn’t take you serious after that. It’s still bad customer service. Next time ask for nice BU coins and cherry pick the best ones.
Maybe you could have used the term uncirculated or brilliant uncirculated to describe what you were looking for...what he brought you were culls...just a thought...smiles
I hear a paragraph-long negative Google review on the horizon. 😉 But that's me. I won't tolerate poor customer service and I have no issue illuminating it in an online review for everyone to see.
margins are very thin these days seems like it’s taking a toll on these shops-there are as many bad shops as good shops & w/o these lcs’s that leaves online dealers only👀 privacy gone-hit up some other shops I’m sure you’ll find a good one 🤙🏼 thanks for sharing
You never know what people are dealing with in their life. I will generally give someone a second chance, but rarely a third. If they’re rude twice in a row from the start, I’m never going back. Life’s too short to deal with a-holes.
Some shops I’ve been to over the years I got the same type of experience. condescending and arrogance. I don’t get it, I’m here to possibly buy something, and I’m the fool? All they are doing is saying “just shop on line.” Ok you got it Bye 👋🏻 There are a few stores around me I would never go back to EVER! One has already closed. I Wonder why.
Sounds like he was annoyed with a out of towner that he thought was wasting time. And I'm sure I'm not the first to say this but you were looking for bu coins brilliant uncirculated, or fresh out of the tube.
Im new to silver stacking and my lcs has me spoiled. He does silver rounds for 3 bucks over spot which makes buying one or two rounds cheaper than online when you include shipping. He does gold at 10 percent over spot regardless of size so buying ten 1/10 ounces from him is the same as one ounce and is way lower than online mark ups. Dudes a champ too. Very quiet and easy going. Lots of fun to talk to.
It was the perfect place to do an interview. My Local shop isn't interested in interviews. Oh well. I'll get to know a dealer at some point or another.
I have one coin dealer that is pretty nice but the other one has a guy who is a total jerk. He acts like he is too good for you and you aren’t worth his time. I go there and spend my money on silver and he acts like I am robbing the place when he’s actually robbing me by charging way too much. I don’t go there unless I see he’s not there.
Had a similar experience. While the person wasn't rude, I was just sort of thrown a bowl of loose silver rounds and told to pick what I wanted. I was actually going on a test run to see if I'd want to do business with this place and make big purchases there. Nope. Lost a customer because I was buying small and wasn't worth bothering with.
Customer service like that, I have no time for. Same attitude I got once here in Vegas. Never been back to it. I call it out. I have family in so. CA and google the same thing where I go. Area you went was CA?
Yes, I agree. Probably having a bad day. Also most transactions now are people selling and I’m sure the online brokers don’t help I’ve been having great luck with liberty coin in Southern California. Very professional, great price.
Hey 4 Nines still here and supporting. I’m finally back that sucks man I hope you have better experiences at other shops. I’ve definitely had those places and I just never show my face again after the disrespect I’ve received and no wonder people weren’t going cause the dealer was not informed and “dumb”. Good luck in your future endeavors!!!!!!
if you could go back. ask him how he could help you get your Maple tube filled with nice specimens again, at spot price that day? How large was his box o Maples that he treated them so scattered about?
Ive always wondered why they seem somewhat condescending. My guy was sort of weird at first. My first 3 gold purchases were somewhat weird with his brush off personality. Ive known him for over a year now and now anytime I step in hes always yelling "EYYYYY!!" and then walks around to talk to me and bs with me for a little bit. I also live In CA and he doesnt make me pay the CA sales tax lol because he hates Newsome. I mean who doesnt... but I always notice in other places they seem to either be neutral or weird.
Small shops that the facade hasn’t changed for 40 years with commercial carpet that’s 20 years old is my kind of shop. You walk in and there they are, a couple of Ol’ Boys with knowledge and good stories! They don’t have a worry in the world and better prices than the up to date stores.
They are losing their ass right now with all the people that cashed in. Give it some time. That still is no excuse for his unprofessionalism. I guess next time say "BU/AU". Maybe you weren't talking language or he is just a dick.
I’m not sure how you are inferring that they are losing money or as you put it losing their ass? Just because people are selling to them. Curious about that if you could explain. Thank you very much.
I bought a 10oz maple and sold it to a coin shop near me that under paid me the first time around and I shouldn’t have gone back after that but then I went back to sell a common date Morgan (1921p) and they wanted to only give me 21 dollars for it and nothing more! This is when spot was at 31 dollars!?! I told them last I checked Morgan’s melt for 25 at that spot being how Morgan’s are like .75 of a Troy ounce and 90% silver sooo how are they trying to defend underpaying spot let alone for Morgan’s. I left a review if anyone wants to read it, and my review has the same topic as many others on there, mainly this amazingly rude lady who obviously has the same attitude towards others so it’s not just me that why I say read the reviews. It’s RINKOR RARE COINS in Santa Rosa
It only hurts to ask when people don't want to walk 25 extra steps. There's no way you could have known that doing his job would bother him, like it did. Wish you would had a better experience. His loss. I'm like you... Slow to anger. Glad you voted with your feet. Slouch slacker is what you dealt with. Glad you got it out. Peace brother good to see you again!
My first visit to mine was very brief. I was new to the space, nervous, and frankly not sure what to expect. I've read reviews similar to your experience, in that they could have behaved better. But since that time, I've been in there multiple times. Enough that they recognize me now. One of the guys can be a bit 'gruff'. But he's definitely knowledgeable, and has good days and bad days. It occurred to me, that it's quite likely that I'll need to sell back one day. So greasing the wheels could be a very good thing. They scratch my back (my collecting habit), I scratch theirs. I believe his personality toward me has definitely improved. I find it highly unlikely that I'll ship back to online dealers. I prefer to be anonymous when that time comes. So even if their offer is 0-k, I'll take this relationship. I must admit, if they can afford to be less than cordial, it means there's lots of clientele lol
My last visit was Friday & i was in & out ! 🚫 transactions . Was going to do a 🔄Swap a tube of Asahi Rounds for cull painted beat up ASE in the bullion bargin bin. I hope we both have better luck next time . Chin up
First off, the fact that you're first instinct was to look for an LCS when you are in a place you haven't been for a while shows that you've become a true stacker! As far as the actual interaction you had with that shop; you asked for a perfectly normal request and it was the dealer who acted weird. Sounds to me like you did the right thing and didn't give him your business, his loss... Ive been stacking for 9 years and you can be sure Ive got some similar stories!
It's good to hear that others have had similar experiences and not just me lol. I'll definitely keep looking for new shops when I'm out of town.... just not that one lol
Customer service is DOWN, everywhere! You did nothing wrong, that LCS just didn't take time to understand your stack...each stack is different, just like each of us...we are all working on goals, and he had no interest in understanding your strategy. My LCS treats coins better than I do, he pulls out the gloves and flips for constitutional! One final note, I appreciate your channel because you talk about metals in a realistic, identifiable way, keep goin' man, and stack on!
I can relate. I'm typically a nice guy while out in public but, I will match whatever energy is given to me ten fold. It's near 2025 and as a melanated man in the south who's actively stacking precious metals and searches bills and coinage. I'm usually never greeted / helped unless I initiate the interaction. You can forsure meet some unsavory characters. In such cases I just take my cash elsewhere. I do have a few LCS that are good tho and pretty personable. Great video! 👍
I'm sorry you have to deal with bullshit like that. The average age of a coin dealer doesn't help lol. They are mostly from an era that has long past. They should know much better. Either way keep stacking! 💪
Ouch, unfortunately dealing with people you never know what you're going to get. Maybe he was having a bad day or something. I wouldn't take it personal. I see nothing wrong with how you made a request specific what you're looking for. Was it an older guy or a younger guy? I guess it shouldn't matter but sounded like a case of grumpy old man I don't know haha. Try not to let it bother you but I understand the confusion. Hopefully you find a fun shop in your travels!
I do have 7 Royal Canadian Mint products in capsules . Special to me . 99% of my Maples are in tubes . I admire & respect as #2 in my Stack but nah , i don't capsule unless its a gift . To spread awareness I do carry my pocket piece , but never know when an oppurtunity to swap , gift , or exchange for merchandise or services . Regaurdless , you never ever have to step foot in that place again . Lucky for the owner that you are a bigger man for not tainting his livelyhood for a posible employee . Like the Election ,, we vote with our feet as well as $$ .
4 "9"s I support you... BUUUUUTTTT!!! This story sounds way out in left field. Customer service is ###111 in any industry. Your story is possible, but there may be much left out...! It doesn't sound common sense that they just treat you this way, there is a little more to the story... or you are telling a "bed time story to us kids"! Again, I support you, but if this is true! What is the shop and where? They have a right to share their side too! You have absolutely no fear of repercussions for you are a private citizen sharing your experience with the public. Just like the great reviews the shop has, you mentioned! Just saying, as a manager myself, there are always 3 sides to a story, yours, theirs, and the truth! Keep enjoying life....
There may be another side to the story. But all I can give is mine. In regards to giving a name, i have 1 reason why I won't do that and 1 reason why I can't do that. The reason I won't is because I do not want to bring bad publicity to a store that in all other accounts doesn't seem to provide bad service the way I was provided. I feel something bad happened to him that day or he recieved bad news and it shifted his attitude. The reason I can't say the name of the business is because it would reveal my relative location. The store is a couple hours away but it would still narrow down where I am. And the moment I feel my location is figured out, I will shut the channel down. And I do not want to do that at all. I will likely never give specific details on things for this exact reason.
Sorry to hear about that man, you never know whats on the other end of the person's emotions, you did the right thing by keeping your cool and walking out, thanks for sharing, keep stacking friends
My LCS and I have opposing political beliefs but I'm thankful he doesn't let that get in the way of being a cordial guy. That being said I havent been there since election day. Lol. I'm guessing he's having a problem moving his secondary market merchandise. So when people come in asking for bulliion grade rounds or coins it probably frustrates him. Pretty sure it's nothing you did bud. I wouldn't let it bother you too much.
All I can say, like everyone else, he must have been having a bad day. Don't take it personally he would have been like that with anybody, you just got unlucky!
Maybe he was getting window shopper vibes and he just didn’t have time to waste. That’s part of the business though so he should have a better attitude. Maybe just having a bad day? Who knows, but bad business no matter what his problem was.
I have been stacking Maple Leaf's for more than 10 years now . All are in caps and NONE have any " MILK SPOTS " ! The newer ones are even better , tho t prefer Queen E . to King C , on them . Tom Daytona Beach , FL. 9 , Nov . 2024 .
In a similar vein as "he was having a bad day" I'd suggest drugs,prescribed or illegal doesn't matter. A bad drug interaction can change your attitude quickly. Or so I'm told.😊😊
Hi 4NinesFine! That was definitely not a pleasant experience! However, since you mentioned that you made small talk, and assuming it went well, the dealer might have received some bad news while you were reviewing the pieces, thus his behavior. I think this might be a case of human emotions, so don't let this experience leave you unhappy! Keep stacking!
@@FourNines-silvermy stuff at the shop isn't for sale, it's just for people to come in and admire, too ooh and ahh over, and then leave. They keep trying to give me money, though, the jerks. 😡
Capping maples? That's cool. I keep my lose maples in caps but all the rest are raw dogging life stacked in tubes. I get so mad seeing sellers throwing around bullion lol. Some shops are like that I guess.
I really don't think it was YOU! Just maybe he's having a bad day or you hit a nerve, in any case this is ON HIM! I have run in to more bad attitude coin shop people then nice ones! So now I get online...
My guess is that he was a Harris supporter and is still butt hurt about the huge loss? I would definitely try again in the future, don’t give up on LCS’s Better luck next time bro 🍀
See when you don't name the coin shop then you don't give people the opportunity not to shop there they have to go in there and experience it too so you leave a bad review I have a small channel but I'm telling you what if I go into a coin shop and they talk to me or act like that I'm throwing them under the bus I don't care and here's another one sd bullion I wouldn't buy another coin from them people and I have bought a lot of silver as much as some but more than others so you guys can do whatever you want to do but if you treat me like shit I'm going to tell everybody about it
And that's completely understandable. There's nothing wrong with that. I however have to keep my relative location a secret. And naming the shop would blow my cover and narrow down my location. I'm a paranoid stacker.
Retail is dying because the truth is most retailers are awful lol.
it's odd, I'm new to stacking and the only 2 interactions I've had with retailers have been very unpleasant. Both the owners were very rude and almost sarcastic like, answering my questions as if I was dumb. And even calling over the phone people sounded miserable, I don't get it.

I put all my coins and even my rounds in airtights I like all my bullion to be pristine.
You should give his store a proper review of the situation. Maybe it’ll take a half a star away
You need to go on Google Maps and give him a one-star review and write on that review The Experience you had so other people do not have that same experience or give their money to that scumbag

After I hit my silver goal of 120 oz. And after a pick up a half ounce rabbit from perth mint. Then I'm saving up for the big buffalo!
My last visit was Friday & i was in & out ! 🚫 transactions . Was going to do a 🔄Swap a tube of Asahi Rounds for cull painted beat up ASE in the bullion bargin bin. I hope we both have better luck next time . Chin up
We keep moving forward!!!
There is nothing worse than going into a coin shop and having a bad experience!
I disagree. The worst is going to a massage parlor and getting just a massage.
First off, the fact that you're first instinct was to look for an LCS when you are in a place you haven't been for a while shows that you've become a true stacker!
As far as the actual interaction you had with that shop; you asked for a perfectly normal request and it was the dealer who acted weird. Sounds to me like you did the right thing and didn't give him your business, his loss... Ive been stacking for 9 years and you can be sure Ive got some similar stories!
It's good to hear that others have had similar experiences and not just me lol. I'll definitely keep looking for new shops when I'm out of town.... just not that one lol
Maybe the guy is a jerk. End of story.😝
Customer service is DOWN, everywhere! You did nothing wrong, that LCS just didn't take time to understand your stack...each stack is different, just like each of us...we are all working on goals, and he had no interest in understanding your strategy. My LCS treats coins better than I do, he pulls out the gloves and flips for constitutional! One final note, I appreciate your channel because you talk about metals in a realistic, identifiable way, keep goin' man, and stack on!
Thankyou Captain! Keep stacking and stay safe!
I can relate. I'm typically a nice guy while out in public but, I will match whatever energy is given to me ten fold. It's near 2025 and as a melanated man in the south who's actively stacking precious metals and searches bills and coinage. I'm usually never greeted / helped unless I initiate the interaction. You can forsure meet some unsavory characters. In such cases I just take my cash elsewhere. I do have a few LCS that are good tho and pretty personable. Great video! 👍
I'm sorry you have to deal with bullshit like that. The average age of a coin dealer doesn't help lol. They are mostly from an era that has long past. They should know much better. Either way keep stacking! 💪
Got to be in somewhere in Minnesota
@@M0NTANA26 😬👀
Entertainment purposes only???
No Way jose...I am acting on every word you say.
Ouch, unfortunately dealing with people you never know what you're going to get. Maybe he was having a bad day or something. I wouldn't take it personal. I see nothing wrong with how you made a request specific what you're looking for. Was it an older guy or a younger guy? I guess it shouldn't matter but sounded like a case of grumpy old man I don't know haha. Try not to let it bother you but I understand the confusion. Hopefully you find a fun shop in your travels!
Yes he was old lol. These grumpy fellas get extra grumpy sometimes lol. Stay well Zooz!
I do have 7 Royal Canadian Mint products in capsules . Special to me . 99% of my Maples are in tubes . I admire & respect as #2 in my Stack but nah , i don't capsule unless its a gift . To spread awareness I do carry my pocket piece , but never know when an oppurtunity to swap , gift , or exchange for merchandise or services . Regaurdless , you never ever have to step foot in that place again . Lucky for the owner that you are a bigger man for not tainting his livelyhood for a posible employee . Like the Election ,, we vote with our feet as well as $$ .
Very wise words here Sir thankyou
4 "9"s I support you... BUUUUUTTTT!!! This story sounds way out in left field. Customer service is ###111 in any industry. Your story is possible, but there may be much left out...! It doesn't sound common sense that they just treat you this way, there is a little more to the story... or you are telling a "bed time story to us kids"!
Again, I support you, but if this is true! What is the shop and where? They have a right to share their side too! You have absolutely no fear of repercussions for you are a private citizen sharing your experience with the public. Just like the great reviews the shop has, you mentioned!
Just saying, as a manager myself, there are always 3 sides to a story, yours, theirs, and the truth! Keep enjoying life....
There may be another side to the story. But all I can give is mine. In regards to giving a name, i have 1 reason why I won't do that and 1 reason why I can't do that. The reason I won't is because I do not want to bring bad publicity to a store that in all other accounts doesn't seem to provide bad service the way I was provided. I feel something bad happened to him that day or he recieved bad news and it shifted his attitude. The reason I can't say the name of the business is because it would reveal my relative location. The store is a couple hours away but it would still narrow down where I am. And the moment I feel my location is figured out, I will shut the channel down. And I do not want to do that at all. I will likely never give specific details on things for this exact reason.
Maybe he woke up on the wrong side of the bed or maybe he had a bad experience before you came in.
Very possible!
How dare you want quality maples. Thats rough. No need for that. I hope you left a review.
I really like the Canadian 1.5 oz Polar bear and Polar bear and cub coins. Cool to add to a RCM stack.
That reminds me I need to pick up some 1.5 oz wildlife from rcm! Thankyou for reminding me
@FourNines-silver They are really cool and that extra .5 oz is so noticeable!
Sorry to hear about that man, you never know whats on the other end of the person's emotions, you did the right thing by keeping your cool and walking out, thanks for sharing, keep stacking friends
Was definitely an interesting step in my stacking journey lol. Stay well Scott
My LCS and I have opposing political beliefs but I'm thankful he doesn't let that get in the way of being a cordial guy. That being said I havent been there since election day. Lol. I'm guessing he's having a problem moving his secondary market merchandise. So when people come in asking for bulliion grade rounds or coins it probably frustrates him. Pretty sure it's nothing you did bud. I wouldn't let it bother you too much.
Odd indeed. Seems a very reasonable question to me. I much prefer Maples and also want 'em >2018.
I don't think I'll ask for clean maples at an lcs again lol
Perhaps that guy was having a terrible day and you just had poor timing. Or he’s just “Silver is Silver”
He dislikes people that like their silver to be fancy lol. He certainly wouldn't prefer perth mint if that's the case!
All I can say, like everyone else, he must have been having a bad day. Don't take it personally he would have been like that with anybody, you just got unlucky!
Super unlucky! Oh well. Atleast i got a story out of it lol. Stay safe!
FEM.
Maybe the guy had a fight with his wife that morning…who knows.
Seemed like it! Seems like he had a fight that he did not win lol
I would have left too. Something may have just happened to him. Otherwise, nothing makes any sense.
Well I let him be. Didn't push the situation any further. Maybe he was having an off day
Maybe he was getting window shopper vibes and he just didn’t have time to waste. That’s part of the business though so he should have a better attitude. Maybe just having a bad day? Who knows, but bad business no matter what his problem was.
If only he knew I am obsessed with metals and ramble about them all the time on the internet lol
I have been stacking Maple Leaf's for more than 10 years now . All are in caps and NONE have any " MILK SPOTS " ! The newer ones are even better , tho t prefer Queen E . to King C , on them . Tom Daytona Beach , FL. 9 , Nov . 2024 .
I agree! I prefer the queen. Not sure how long charles will be on there. I heard he's sick
i keep all my silver coins and bars in capsules. keeps them clean all the time.
I feel the same way about my maples. Silver Buffaloe rounds i don't care to put in capsules. But I still don't touch them with bare hands
What township was this experience?
That's a secret!!
That’s just bad business. It could have been another stacker/youtuber that would have mentioned the name of his shop to a ton of viewers.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure I have came off rude before too.
In a similar vein as "he was having a bad day" I'd suggest drugs,prescribed or illegal doesn't matter. A bad drug interaction can change your attitude quickly. Or so I'm told.😊😊
I think he was just having a bad day. Not sure. Was just a very very odd experience all around
Might be that his shoes was too tight and made in Canada? 🤷🏾♂️
And his tire was flat on the way to work
I would have just walked out. By Flecia.
I gave him a "have a good day" and left. Its unfortunate. It was a cool shop
Lcs owners are hit and miss. My shop the sons are cool the dad is a jerk. Lol. Sorry you had a bad one. It's tough because it should be very fun.
It really needs to change. Coin Ships should be a fun experience. More people would stack if shops were more welcoming
Hi 4NinesFine! That was definitely not a pleasant experience! However, since you mentioned that you made small talk, and assuming it went well, the dealer might have received some bad news while you were reviewing the pieces, thus his behavior.
I think this might be a case of human emotions, so don't let this experience leave you unhappy! Keep stacking!
You're right that's very possible. Or maybe he was hungry and wanted to go get lunch or something lol. Nice to see you Aaron!
A trump hat would have more than likely got you some respect. He would know your trustworthy, work hard.have a few bucks etc.
You're probably right lol
Doesn’t sound like you did anything wrong
Some people are just evil, and then, it could be his old lady might have cut him off. Haha.
Sorry, I was on my period that day.
Lolol Dan was grumpy that day
@@FourNines-silvermy stuff at the shop isn't for sale, it's just for people to come in and admire, too ooh and ahh over, and then leave. They keep trying to give me money, though, the jerks. 😡
How dare they try to give you dirty fiat!
Weird. Bad vibes are a signal.
I agree. It was just so unexpected
Let it go bro 😎 he’ll get his one day. We all always do 😁
That's the truth Friendo!!
Was it Wednesday after the election?
Maybe it wasn't your fault maybe the guy was just having a bad day
That's what I'm guessing. We all have bad days sometimes
Capping maples? That's cool. I keep my lose maples in caps but all the rest are raw dogging life stacked in tubes. I get so mad seeing sellers throwing around bullion lol. Some shops are like that I guess.
I really don't think it was YOU! Just maybe he's having a bad day or you hit a nerve, in any case this is ON HIM! I have run in to more bad attitude coin shop people then nice ones! So now I get online...
That seems to be the trend unfortunately. I don't know why there's so many grumpy shop owners
My guess is that he was a Harris supporter and is still butt hurt about the huge loss?
I would definitely try again in the future, don’t give up on LCS’s
Better luck next time bro 🍀
He may have had a bad case of the grumpies that day lol. It was a nice shop. I'd like to visit it again but I haven't decided if I ever will or not
🤣🤣
Name the names, or it didn't happen.
Like 44
❤️
The guy was pissed cause the price of beer went up...
See when you don't name the coin shop then you don't give people the opportunity not to shop there they have to go in there and experience it too so you leave a bad review I have a small channel but I'm telling you what if I go into a coin shop and they talk to me or act like that I'm throwing them under the bus I don't care and here's another one sd bullion I wouldn't buy another coin from them people and I have bought a lot of silver as much as some but more than others so you guys can do whatever you want to do but if you treat me like shit I'm going to tell everybody about it
And that's completely understandable. There's nothing wrong with that. I however have to keep my relative location a secret. And naming the shop would blow my cover and narrow down my location. I'm a paranoid stacker.
WERE YOU WEARING A TRUMP HAT? LMAO
That would be an easy explanation lol
@@FourNines-silver LOL
Most people who are into precious metals like Trump. So, idk.
😂👍🏼
@@aldontheelf4267glad not to be one of them lol
